With the New Year on the horizon, we thought it was an appropriate time to let you know that the team at The Festival are actively planning for next year’s event 6 – 8 August 2021.

Our team is committed to hosting the event in 2021 and there are currently two scenarios we are planning for, these fall under:

– running as normal as in previous years

– behind closed doors

Both scenarios will be under constant review over the coming months in line with government and British Eventing advice and guidelines. We will continue to plan in parallel so that when we have a clearer picture, we are able to efficiently deliver either option.

Come the Spring, we will make an informed decision as to which route the 2021 event will take. If we are allowed to welcome spectators to Gatcombe Park, the Box Office will open in Spring. 

Whatever happens, please make sure that you put the Magic Millions Festival of British Eventing 2021 dates in your diary – 6 – 8 August 2021. 

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a safe and prosperous New Year.
