Unaffiliated two/three day events running in 2015?

[LottieAdams]

I was wondering if anyone knew of some two/three day events that are running in 2015, looking on the Internet and can't seem to find any other than stoneleigh 2 day!! Thanks in advance!!

I don't think I've ever seen an unaffiliated 3 day so I'll follow with interest in the hopes I am wrong! You do occasionally get unaffiliated 2 days events but my understanding is that the market is limited because of cost. Either you are limited to competitors who live nearby or to competitors who can pay for event stabling - which is very expensive. Both for the competitor and for the venue having to put it in place. Merrist wood did a lovely series of unaffilliated 2 days last year but don't plan to repeat the experience which is a real pity. Alternatively there are places like Cricklands which run major unaffilliated events that you have to qualify for. But I don't know if eventing is one of the available disciplines.

Whenever I've been looking on the web there's loads that have gone on in previous years that aren't being continued!! It's depressing!

What about MKEC 3DE?
Ignore the above it appears not to be running this year which is shame.

I think last year was the last MK3DE 😢

I have a feeling off church bury might run a 2DE and also Longleat did last year?

I also may have imagined it, but I have it in my head that Aston were thinking of doing unaff 2/3DE
