I’m going to go to HOYS this year it will be my first time, I can only go on the Saturday or Sunday will be travelling from Surrey via car, does anyone have any top tips on best tickets to book, what’s not worth paying for, best time to arrive ect?

Depends what you like. Can’t remember off hand what show jumping is when but always a big class to finish. Sunday evening will have the supreme show horse and show pony if of interest. Displays will be the same both evenings. Afternoon tickets are just afternoon then arena emptied and evening tickets back in. There are two arenas. The main one with the show jumping and major showing classes and the second arena is other showing classes and I don’t think runs of an evening and definitely not Sunday evening. So it’s arriving really in time for doors open plus allow twenty minutes or so from the car park. They do shuttle buses or you can walk.

With an afternoon ticket you can get into the morning I think which is generally showing classes. The riding horse champs used to start 7.30 am so generally only those with horses in the class watching.

Be prepared for expensive parking! And take a photo of which car park you are in as they all look exactly the same and you can spend ages looking for your car in the wrong car park (can you tell that it happened to me?)
