Chatsworth International Horse Trials is a three-day event of thrilling world-class equestrian sport, combined with entertainment for all the family in the beautiful surroundings of Chatsworth.
The annual event will this year see the return of the British leg of the FEI Eventing Nations Cup, bringing world class equestrian action back to Chatsworth.
Dogs on leads are welcome at the horse trials. Please do not leave dogs in cars. The house, garden, farmyard and playground are open as usual during the horse trials.
Family entertainment
The event offers a range of entertainment and activities for the whole family including have-a-go dog agility plus a family fun dog show. Enjoy sheep shows and birds of prey displays, as well as wall climbing and face painting. Channel your artistic talents at drop-in pottery painting sessions to create a piece of art to take home.
Want to explore beyond the event? The house, garden and farmyard are open as usual. Younger visitors can learn more about their favourite friendly animals including goats, guinea pigs and chickens. Discover a number of Chatsworth’s rare breeds including Suffolk Punch horses and the majestic Cream Legbar Chickens.
From the farmyard, why not take the secret tunnel to the recently refurbished woodland adventure playground? There are tall towers and slides, a climbing wall, zip wire and dedicated area for younger children, providing hours of adventure. Children can enjoy climbing to the top of the towers for a bird’s-eye view amongst the treetops and climbing into the huge Great Spotted Woodpecker – a reflection of the spectacular nature which surrounds Chatsworth.
