Festival Of British Eventing 4+

It is with great pleasure that we once again welcome everyone back to Gatcombe Park after two years of not running.

There has been a large hole in life for many of us with the absence of the event and we are so pleased to be back up and running. It has been a challenging time for us all and we are so excited to get back to some form of normality.

The Magic Millions Festival of British Evening continued to evolve over this time to become what you see today. The Festival is a true showcase of the sport, from grassroots to the elite level competing for the show piece Magic Millions British Open. At the end of the weekend we will have crowned five new national champions across five Championships from the Corinthian Cup sponsored by Top Spec and the Retrained Racehorse Event Championship through to the Dodson & Horrell Novice Championship and the Evelyn Partners Intermediate Championship.

The Festival continues to be a celebration of all levels of equestrianism and with the large contingent of Pony Club members here this year competing in Interbranch showjumping as well as in the Arena Eventing hosted in the new Spillers Arena. The aim of The Festival is to have something for everyone at every level. To that end, we have also added two new classes this year. The Open Novice, supported by Bredon Schools and the Open Intermediate sponsored by BioWave Go. We hope that this will provide more exciting competition for spectators as well as providing additional opportunities for riders to test their up and coming stars of the future over what is always regarded as a tough cross country course.
