Badminton is one of only a handful of CCI five-star three-day events in the world, and the one most people mean when they say eventing. It runs over five days in the park of Badminton House in South Gloucestershire: dressage on Thursday and Friday, cross-country on Saturday, showjumping on Sunday.

Cross-country day is why the event matters commercially as well as sportingly: the course runs for several miles across the estate, spectators walk it freely, and the Saturday crowd is among the largest paying single-day audiences in world sport.

01重要な理由

Badminton is the sport's benchmark, and its course design sets the standard other five-stars are measured against. In our reading its most unusual quality is scale relative to formality: a crowd the size of a Premier League weekend, in a private park, with no dress code.

02前後の週

The estate villages fill for the week and the market towns within half an hour take the rest. The shopping village of several hundred trade stands functions as a country fair in its own right.

03到着時期

Saturday is the day: come for cross-country, arrive early, and plan to walk several miles across rough ground.

04宿泊先

There is nothing at Badminton beyond the estate: Tetbury and Malmesbury are the closest bases, around twenty minutes away, and camping on the estate is how a large share of the crowd stays.

05アクセスとホスピタリティ

Admission is sold through the organizer's own box office, with day tickets and season badges; hospitality is sold in the Members' Enclosure, the Portcullis Club and the Lakeside Pavilions. Entry is genuinely open and the cross-country course is walked by everyone on the same terms.

06社交活動の場

The Lake, the Vicarage Vee and the other named fences, where the crowd stacks up several deep on the Saturday; the shopping village, the event's social spine; and the main arena stands on Sunday.

07アクセス方法

民間航空Bristol Airport is about an hour by road.

鉄道There is no station at Badminton; Chippenham, Bath Spa and Bristol Parkway are the nearest railheads.

車M4 junction 18, then the A46; a wet week makes the grass car parks the real hazard.

プライベート航空Bristol and Gloucestershire airports; there is no field at the estate.

08実用情報

服装There is no dress code at Badminton and the event is the better for it. What everyone wears is country clothing chosen for weather and distance: a waxed jacket, a flat cap, and boots that can handle mud, because cross-country day means several miles on wet grass. Wellingtons are standard and not an affectation.

天気Early May in Gloucestershire is unpredictable, with the real variable being rain: a wet Badminton turns the going heavy, the walking difficult and the car parks a genuine problem.

市内での移動A car is effectively necessary; arrive early on the Saturday and expect a slow exit, and on site everything is walked.

ホテルLocal supply is thin and taken early, often a year ahead within ten miles; Bath and Bristol are the reliable fallback.

レストランThe shopping village carries a large food offering across the five days; off site, the Cotswold pubs and the restaurants of Bath take bookings well ahead.

予約時期Tickets go on sale in the autumn or winter, with hospitality and camping selling earlier than general admission.

チケットSold through the organizer's own box office, with day tickets, season tickets and car parking, plus camping sold separately; under-16 admission has historically been free or heavily discounted.

ホスピタリティHospitality is sold in the Members' Enclosure, the Portcullis Club and the Lakeside Pavilions with inclusions published per package.

09沿革

The 10th Duke of Beaufort created the event in 1949, opening his park so British riders would have somewhere to train after a poor showing at the 1948 Olympics. It has been held in the same place ever since and cancelled seven times for weather, disease and the pandemic.

10参加者

The international eventing community — riders, owners, grooms and selectors from across Europe, Australasia and the United States; the British country-sports public in very large numbers; and the equestrian trade.
