The Hickstead Box Office is open
Thursday 13 December 2018
With Christmas just round the corner, the Box Office for Hickstead's international shows is officially open.
Tickets for the Al Shira’aa Hickstead Derby Meeting (20-23 June) and the Longines FEI Jumping Nations Cup™ of Great Britain at the Royal International Horse Show (24-28 July) are available now, and they make ideal Christmas presents for fans of equestrian sport. The prices have been frozen at 2018 rates, with an early bird discount for those buying in advance compared to at the gate.
“If you tend to leave your Christmas shopping to the last minute, we’ve got the answer,” says Hickstead Director Edward Bunn. “You can buy Hickstead tickets online at any time, and instantly download them and print off to give to your friends and family.”
For the first time, you can also opt to give a Hickstead Gift Voucher, which allows the person to select which day they would like to attend and choose which ticket type they would prefer, from General Admission to the Members’ Enclosure.
Highlights of June’s Al Shira’aa Hickstead Derby Meeting include the Bunn Leisure Derby Trial, the British Speed Derby and, of course, the Al Shira’aa Derby – one of the most famous showjumping classes in the world. As well as the international showjumping there is also showing, carriage driving and the Celebrity Derby Challenge, held on the Saturday night.
The July fixture, which was recently voted the best showjumping show in the world by L'Année Hippique magazine, features five-star showjumping classes such as the Longines FEI Jumping Nations Cup™ of Great Britain and the Longines BHS King George V Gold Cup. There is also arena eventing in the popular MS Amlin Eventers’ Challenge, plus a range of national showjumping classes from 90cm up to the prestigious BHS Queen Elizabeth II Cup.
Aside from the equestrian action, there is lots on offer for all members of the family, including the huge Charles Owen Shopping Village and the Family Fun Zone, featuring top children’s entertainer Tomfoolery.
For a truly luxurious present, opt for one of the hospitality options, including the Members’ Restaurant and Private Boxes. With fine dining and unparalleled views of the International Arena, there can be no better Christmas gift for any discerning equestrian.
