This exciting new event promises four thrilling days of top-level competition, shopping, socialising, and entertainment, as it aims to become Scotland’s leading equestrian event.
Welcoming elite riders from across Scotland, the UK, and Europe, the event features a packed schedule of FEI international and grassroots eventing, showjumping, and showing.
Four thrilling days, including:
• International Eventing
• Grassroots Eventing
• Showjumping
• Arena Eventing
• Hunter Show
• Native Breeds Show
• NPS Scotland Finals
• Retrained Racehorses
• Pony Club Games
Beyond the sport, visitors can enjoy a vibrant mix of shopping, food, drink, and family-friendly activities. The heart of the social scene is the Shopping and Lifestyle Village, showcasing over 130 leading brands - including High Street favourite Joules - covering equestrian apparel, country wear, artisan crafts and homewares, and quality horse and pet supplies.
The award-winning Willowgate Adventure Centre will also be on hand with Laser Clays, Axe Throwing, Mini Highland Games and Mini Croquetto to test skills and generate a little competition amongst the crowds of friends!
Alongside this, a mouthwatering food and drink offer of street food trucks, local produce, VIP dining, and bars a-plenty will keep everyone fuelled and refreshed. And because no world-class event is complete without a party, live music and entertainment will keep the celebrations going post-eventing fun.
William, Viscount Stormont, owner of Scone Estates, said: “The team have put in a huge amount of work in a very short period of time to get this event up and running, and at an exceptional standard. I am extremely proud to be hosting an event of this scale and calibre at Scone, and excited by the prospect of attending it in this, its first year.”
