HICKSTEAD TURNS 60

The All England Jumping Course at Hickstead is set for an extra special year, as 2020 marks 60 years since the showground first opened.

After the very fi rst Hickstead events were held in 1960, it quickly grew to become one of the best-known showjumping venues in the world.

The fi rst Hickstead Derby was held a year later in 1961, meaning next summer will also see the running of the 60thAl Shira’aa Derby, which is held on the Sunday afternoon of the Al Shira’aa Hickstead Derby Meeting (25-28 June). Expect an extra special year of celebrations as we look back over the remarkable history of the All England Jumping Course and our most iconic class.

Our 60thcelebrations will continue during the Longines Royal International Horse Show (21-26 July). This fi ve-star event boasts an array of thrilling showjumping, including the Longines BHS King George V Gold Cup, the Science Supplements BHS Queen Elizabeth II Cup, the BEMER Speed Classic and, of course, the international team competition - the Longines FEI Jumping Nations Cup™ of Great Britain. This year, Hickstead forms the fi nal leg of the series, making it even more exciting as the teams battle it out to stay in Division One and land a place at the Final in Barcelona.

Both of Hickstead’s fl agship shows also feature national showjumping, championship showing classes, carriage driving and lots more. The fabulous shopping is another big draw, with hundreds of tradestands in the Charles Owen Shopping Village selling everything from clothing, footwear, tack, country goods, gifts and more. There is plenty of entertainment for children in the Family Fun Zone, along with a range of bars, eateries and food stands for all the family to enjoy.

Tickets start from just £20, with discounts available for senior citizens and children. Savings are available on all tickets bought in advance of the shows. Visitors can also choose to upgrade to one of the luxurioushospitality optionsavailable, ranging from the Members’ Restaurant to the Al Shira’aa Suite and Private Boxes, all of which offer the best view of the action in the Longines International Arena.

Annual membershipis an extremely good value option, giving access to every day of the Hickstead season as well as a host of other sporting fi xtures including racing, polo and cricket.
