Tickets are now on sale for the UK’s largest outdoor equestrian show, Royal Windsor Horse Show, which will take place from Wednesday 11 – Sunday 15 May 2016, in the stunning grounds of Windsor Castle.

After last year’s roaring success, which saw record crowds flock to the five-day event to watch world-class competitions and phenomenal displays, the show has further enhanced its status by becoming a 4* international jumping event.
 
This exciting news also coincides with the announcement that during the evenings of Royal Windsor Horse Show, the Queen’s 90th Birthday celebrations will take place from 12-15th May. Visitors to Royal Windsor Horse Show will get the exclusive opportunity to see many of the global acts, such as The Oman Royal Cavalry, Chilean Huasos, New Zealand Army Band, South Australian Police Band, The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery and The Household Cavalry, performing their full routines during the day. 

Royal Windsor is a highlight of the British equestrian calendar and marks the start to the busy summer show season. The prestigious show is set in the beautiful private grounds of Windsor Castle, the only time of year they are accessible to the public, and has been attended by HM The Queen, who is also Patron to Royal Windsor, every year since it began in 1944.

Next year, the jam-packed horse show will host international competitions in Showjumping (CSI1* and CSI4*), Carriage Driving (Land Rover International Driving Grand Prix), Endurance (CEI1*) and National Dressage, plus over 120 showing classes and outstanding equestrian displays. Other highlights include performances from The Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment, The Shetland Pony Grand National, DAKS Pony Club Mounted Games as well as being able to enjoy international displays from the Queen’s 90th Birthday Celebration. In addition, there will be a shopping village with over 220 shops selling all things from equestrian goods to homeware and much sought after fashion brands as well as other delights such as pop-up restaurants, bars, cafes and food stalls throughout the site.

Once again, Royal Windsor Horse Show organisers are delighted to offer free admission to all visitors on the opening day of the show on Wednesday 11 May, and offer tickets free of charge to children on Thursday 12 and Friday 13 May. The remaining ticket prices for 2016 are as follows: Thursday 12 May the admission fee for adults will be £16.00 and on Friday 13 May it will be £20.00.
