Wheelchair access is possible. However, due to the uneven terrain of the event site, along with the distance between the Dressage and the main Show-jumping arena, it may be difficult at times for disabled spectators to move around freely and easily. As a result , travel to certain areas of the event site may not be suitable for those suffering from impaired mobility or those with certain medical conditions.

Upon arrival at the event, please follow signs and the traffic marshalls to the specified Blue Badge parking.
