About Us
DRESSAGE
Our dressage arenas are some of the best in the country. We use the showground's permanent showing rings and immediate areas with plenty of warm-up space, ring side viewing and disabled parking.
SHOW JUMPING
The showjumping is held in the fabulous main Ardingly ring, possibly one of the best permanent grass arenas in the country which plays host to other top BSJA showjumping events. The main ring is overlooked by the Norfolk Pavilion with its own licensed bar, sponsors hospitality and our public catering outlets to one side.
There is a substantial warm up in the permanent Cuckfield ring. Both rings are aggravated with our specialist machinery and watered should the need arise.
