Cotswolds horse trials in Cornbury coming this September

Cornbury House Horse Trials will take place in Oxfordshire from September 9 to 13 in the grounds of Cornbury House, with early-bird tickets starting at £10.

At the heart of the event is world-class equestrianism, with both high-profile riders and emerging talent set to compete in a rural setting.

The event will once again host the British Eventing Young Horse Championships, sponsored by The Howden Way, which showcases the country’s most promising five, six, and seven-year-old horses.

David Howden, event founder and president, lives at Cornbury House and is a long-time supporter of eventing and equestrian sport.

Away from the action, visitors can enjoy curated shopping at Cornbury Village, as well as a new Artisan Food and Drink Tent.

On Saturday, September 12, the popular Endless Lunch at Cornbury by Mirabeau returns, offering a long-table dining experience overlooking the main arena.

Evening entertainment will be available each night at the on-site Wychwood Inn.

Other new features for 2026 include the Cornbury Chat Stage, which will host conversations with equestrian heroes and local personalities.

The 2026 charity partner is the British Eventing Support Trust (BEST) and visitors can choose to donate when purchasing tickets.

The event will also welcome back the ARC Racehorse to Eventer Challenge, a £50,000 showcase for former racehorses.
