Was going to take Mum as an early birthday treat but she's not well enough. My friend has a stand there - Cavago (I think that's how you spell it) with a mechanical horse.

I'm there Friday (I think, although I'm now wondering if it's actually Thursday - note to self, best check that 
) Treated ourselves to good seats and found out they include the Champagne bar 
Happy days.

Thanks. Sadly I don't understand red button. I watch TV through the PC on iPlayer. Hoping it will be on there too

It will be on there too, usually easiest to find via sport > equestrian

I'm going on Wednesday morning to cheer on my friend - so very proud of what she's achieved with a quirky boy.

Groupon still has some LIHS tickets for sale - just Wed/Thurs/Fri afternoon and some evening - about half price - not all of the ticket categories.

Thanks for putting that up. So is that the ordinary bbc red button please or do we have to pay?

Going Thursday evening for dressage to music.
Thanks @ester for the BBC coverage. On Sky the red button is channel 900-something so I’ll record at least the Thursday I’m going to, puissance and a whole evening performance.
I’m looking forward to Lorenzo, I remember seeing him 25+ years ago as a child.

Travelling into the smoke on Tuesday, and going to Wednesday morning, Wednesday evening, and Thursday evening. It's my annual pre Christmas mini break with lovely friends. Lots of eating and drinking, and wandering round London included in those days as well.

A friend has bought me a ticket for Saturday evening as a Xmas present. I had a nightmare parking last year and annoyingly there are no trains running south of St Albans for the Xmas period so I’ll probably try another train route in.

We’re going on the Saturday evening for the driving - although we’ll head up a bit earlier in the day to see the driving masterclass and some of the showing/dog agility in the other arena (and obviously browse round the shopping!). Should be fun to do something a bit different, the last couple of years we’ve been for the big ticket showjumping events on the Sunday/Monday, looking forward to the high speed madness of the driving as I’ve only ever seen it on tv but always been fascinated by it

We went last year on the dressage night and they cancelled so many trains going to St Albans so the one we got on was packed it was awful took us ages to get home.

I'm going Friday, didn't plan in advance so Friday afternoon was all I could get with the trains I found, still looks great.
It is at excel not olympia isn't it? I haven't been since it was olympia and it was a pita to get to.

If anyone is driving in remember the emissions charge. Bloody £180 fine when we last went right on the edge of London , I didn't even know it was a thing.

I’m going this year to watch and can’t wait, love LIHS!
It feels a bit surreal that I was there competing last year, one of the most incredible experiences and a dream come true as I’d been going to watch since a tiny child.

I went to the very first one when it was at Olympia. It was 1972 and I was in my first job as a groom and my employer was competing. We were both so excited, it was the most wonderful day and it was just so christmassy! So very hard to think that is 52 years ago. Have a wonderful time, everyone who is going. I envy you.

If anyone is driving you can check whether you need to pay the emissions charge here - https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/check-your-vehicle/?intcmp=52335
