Posted on: 26 March 2026 in UK Racing

Join us at one of the world’s most iconic equestrian events, the Badminton Horse Trials. Set in the stunning Gloucestershire countryside, this legendary five-star competition has been thrilling fans since 1949, combining elite sport, deep-rooted tradition and an atmosphere that is truly unmatched anywhere in the world.

Each May, the very best riders and horses on the planet come together at the historic Badminton Estate to compete across dressage, cross-country and show jumping. For spectators, Badminton is not just an event,it is a celebration of excellence, heritage and the very best of British sport.

At Racing Breaks, we elevate this extraordinary occasion into an unforgettable luxury experience. Our Badminton Horse Trials trips are carefully designed to offer far more than standard tickets. From luxury accommodation in the beautiful city of Bath to exclusive hospitality, expert insight and behind-the-scenes access, every detail is taken care of so you can fully immerse yourself in the sport.

Guests stay at the stylish Hotel Indigo Bath, perfectly located to enjoy both the elegance of the city and seamless access to Badminton each day. With daily transfers included, your experience is effortless from start to finish.

Throughout the week, you’ll enjoy exclusive members’ tickets, prime grandstand seating on key competition days, and lunch within the members enclosure, placing you right at the heart of the action. Guests will enjoy hosted talks at Badminton, insight from elite riders, and unique moments such as a cross-country course walk with William Fox-Pitt, one of the most respected names in eventing.

Away from the competition, guests have time to enjoy Bath, one of Britain’s most beautiful and historic cities. From Roman history and Georgian architecture to independent shops, cafés and world-class dining, Bath adds a rich cultural layer to the trip and makes the experience ideal for international visitors and companions alike.

On the final day, guests can enjoy a relaxed morning in Bath before heading home, with optional transfers back to Heathrow available.
