Belsay Horse Trials offers a warm welcome to visitors. Our volunteers are never far away to offer assistance and to help you. The event hosts over 500 amateur and professional horse riders competing against one another.
There is a shopping village, a huge range of food stands, dog displays and family amusements. We offer a great family day out where you are welcome to bring your dog and a picnic should you wish. Tickets can be purchased on the gate or in advance via the tickets page and parking is free of charge.
