Stabling and Accommodation
On-site Stabling
FEI: Included in the price of entry for class 1 only. Compulsory for class 1 only. Other classes as National fees.
National: £85 for the duration
Stabling available from Thursday
Stabling may be available at a lower cost just for the weekend, but this cannot be guaranteed.
This includes bedding and the clearing away of the muck. Priority will be
given to those horses staying more than one night if we have to ballot stabling.
Please note: There will be no stabling refund once the stables have been booked as we will have to pay for that number.
Corralling:
£20 per horse irrespective of length of stay
Camping:
Free of Charge
There is coralling and camping available at the venue from Thursday only. There will be no facilities before Friday however. Please pay the secretary on arrival if you have not already sent your corralling fee. Make sure that your coral is electrified at all times, you may be asked to leave the venue if this is not complied with.
Camping is free! Please note where tents need to be erected. This is because of Health and Safety. Lorries and caravans can be parked next to corals. (Please see venue plan – if you are in the wrong place you may be asked to move!)
Horse exercising prior to the event.
Horses may be exercised prior to the event. Please see exercise route map
at venue. Lunging and schooling may be done in the camping field or the
stable field. Please be sensible at all times.

About the Dukeries
In north-west Nottinghamshire lie the present day remains of Sherwood Forest, once the playground of kings and dukes. The landscape between Mansfield and Worksop originally comprised huge private estates, established by nobility in a 200 year shopping spree that used the profits from the industrial revolution: Clumber Park, Thoresby and Welbeck were the country seats of powerful dukes. Today, they are still known as 'The Dukeries'.
