brightling-zara-phillips-dressageA day at Brightling Park is a wonderful family day out in the countryside. At the Eventer’s Challenge, you can watch the top competitor’s compete in show jumping and cross country.

It will take place over 200 acres of the Brightling Park Estate with some of the best views in Sussex, across to the South Downs and the English Channel. You are more than welcome to walk around the entire area and even explore the iconic “Temple” folly in the centre of the estate.

With a variety of equestrian and non-equestrian related trade stands, food stalls serving anything from afternoon tea to Thai curries, and a fully licensed bar selling locally brewed beer and Pimm’s, we hope there is something for everyone to enjoy.

Children are welcome, as are dogs, as long as they are kept on a lead. You are welcome to bring a picnic.
