Just received lorry ticket and it states that no horse boxes after 9.30am allowed! We arent on until well into the afternoon, and hadnt planned on getting there that early. It will now mean a 5am start for us, was hoping a little more sleep in.
Anyone been before please and have any idea on this. seems ridiculous to have all boxes there by 9.30 or is this stardard, as havent come across it before. thanks. in advance. x

I have always arrived for 7am so cant be certain but I suspect there wont be any spaces left by that time anyway! The showfield is surrounded on three sides by roads so they have not been able to expand as they have become busier.

Havent been before but had been told that parking was a bit tight so we were aiming to get there about 8.30. Hope thats early enough as its nearly 2hrs travelling for us!

Same here for us! Haven't built up the courage to tell hubby yet! Sure he thinks we won't be setting off from home until about 8.30am! The air will be blue, think I'll sleep on the way!

I personally haven't competed there since 2010, but my classes were always later on (coloureds) and always got there well after 9.30. So unless this has changed for this year. I have had friends competing in the coloured classes in the consequent years and they too arrived after 9.30? Could you maybe ring the organiser?

thanks, will do i think, but was a little hesitant as the lady was not too impressed when i rang to find out if they had any entry numbers for classes so we could get a better idea on times and was rather unhelpful to say the least. x

We have not been for a few years, but found it very congested and tight for parking.
