BADMINTON SWITCH UP

The 2023 Badminton Horse Trials will start a day later than planned so that the cross-country day doesn’t clash with His Majesty The King’s Coronation.

The dressage phase will kick off on Friday 5 May and continue on Saturday – it will start earlier so that everyone can enjoy the historic day!

Don’t worry, though. If you’re there on Saturday, you’ll be able to watch the service on the big screens! This means the thrilling cross-country phase will run on Sunday and the showjumping will be on Monday 8 May.

The box office opens soon, so keep an eye out on badminton-horse.co.ukfor tickets! You don’t want to miss this epic five-star event!
