If it's the one i'm thinking of, it's somewhere in Lancs, or round there.
My boy was there last year with his previous owner. That's all i know though, sorry

Here's the website:
http://www.festivalofchampions.co.uk/index.html
And some details:
What is the Festival Of Champions?
Razzmatazz, rosettes, music, lights and trophies for the everyday equestrian. The Festival of Champions aims to give everyone the chance of competing in a HOYS type atmosphere but at a fraction of the cost.
A qualifying show offering a valuable, top class mystery prize for the Supreme Champion. This purely unaffiliated event aims to be friendly, fun yet competitive.
Already running very successfully at various locations in England the first FOC began in 1994 with around 19 clubs but by the year 2006 had grown to encompass 91 clubs and a staggering 4500 entries running over a total of 8 days.
It is open to affiliated and non affiliated pony/riding clubs or any group of riders who can form their own club if they are not already members of an existing organisation.
Most clubs have a points league in place but those who dont will be given an easy to follow system that will allow them to qualify this year. There are classes for everyone at the Festival, from the mini Shetland in-hand to the Puissance in which the big wall is tackled in a Horse Of The Year Show style finale.

Yes its like the Wembley for the Riding Club member. I qualified a few years ago when it was held at Birchinley Manor and it was a great experience. Trumpet players, music etc.
