The Eventing Spring Carnival at Thoresby

Featured in:
February 2020

Three days of great family entertainment.
This year’s event takes place over the weekend of Friday 27th – Sunday 29th March. Organiser, BEDE Events describes it as an ‘equestrian family carnival’ and is staging a wide range of attractions for all the family to enjoy including dog agility and show, children’s entertainment and a shopping village.

Thoresby is a spectacular venue at which to stage this world class event. The free draining sandy soil makes it an ideal location to launch the spring carnival.

Helen Eshelby, outdoor events manager at Thoresby Park, said: “Thoresby Park is thrilled to have been chosen as the new home for the spring two, three and four star event. We look forward to welcoming the international riders in March 2020 and working with Stuart, Anna and the BEDE Events team on the horse trials for many years to come.”

When visitors need to take a break and refuel, they will be spoilt for choice. There will be a Street Food Festival with a range of tempting food stalls and bars to keep people going, offering everything from gourmet burgers to Indian street food, and from craft beer to a Gin Den.
