The Agria Royal International Horse Show

Countdown to the event

23 - 28 July 2024

Five-star showjumping and championship showing at one of the most famous showgrounds in the world.

The Agria Royal International Horse Show at Hickstead is one of the pinnacles of the summer season. Thousands of equestrian fans are expected to flock here to the All England Jumping Course to watch international highlights such as the King George V Gold Cup and the Breen Equestrian Queen Elizabeth II Cup.

The Royal International Horse Show is also renowned as the pinnacle of the outdoor showing season, with riders travelling up and down the country in order to pick up one of the coveted qualifying tickets just to compete at the show. There are hundreds of showing championships across the six days, with the best of these competing in the Barberstown Castle Supreme Horse and the Supreme Products Supreme Pony Championships on the final Sunday.

In addition, there’s arena eventing, scurry driving, side-saddle classes, and national showjumping classes ranging from the British Showjumping Winter Finals to the British Riding Clubs team competition, and tiny cross-poles for the very youngest of equestrians.

The Village Green provides the perfect rest bite from the equestrian action, with entertainment to capture the whole family from children's arts & crafts workshops and face painting, to magic shows and live choir performances!

With an extensive shopping village, a range of bars, restaurants and hospitality options, and the popular Ladies’ Day competition held on the Saturday, it is little wonder this show is regarded as one of the highlights of the Sussex social season.
