British Eventing National Championships return to Hartpury for 2025

Hartpury University and College are thrilled to announce that they will host the prestigious British Eventing National Championships for a second consecutive year in 2025. Following a successful event in 2024, the institution’s state-of-the-art equestrian centre will once again welcome horses and riders from across the country.

The 2024 championships saw thrilling competition, exceptional courses and a championship atmosphere, running alongside the well-established NAF Five Star International Hartpury Horse Trials. Due to the outstanding feedback from riders, owners and spectators, British Eventing has entrusted Hartpury with hosting the championships once again. The 2025 event will start on Tuesday 5 August, running through to Sunday 10 August.

As one of the UK’s leading providers of equine education, Hartpury University and College is committed to delivering world-class competition, while prioritising horse and rider welfare. 

Deputy Vice-Chancellor Rosie Scott-Ward said: “Following the success of the championships at Hartpury this year, we’re thrilled to be hosting them once again in 2025.

“Having the championships run alongside our international classes creates a real carnival atmosphere, celebrating and showcasing our sport. With a longer lead-in time, we look forward to making the 2025 championships better than ever. Eric Winter and Jump 1 will once again create world-class tracks over exceptional going, and our all-weather facilities allow us to withstand whatever the British weather has in store.

“As in 2024, every effort will be made to ensure horses and humans have everything they need to make their stay with us as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.”

A number of sponsorship opportunities are available for 2025 and tickets for spectators will go on sale early in the new year.

British Eventing CEO Rosie Williams said: “We're delighted that Hartpury University and College are once again hosting our prestigious National Championships. Last year was a resounding success and with the help of Hartpury and their fabulous facilities, we're looking forward to continuing to establish this as a major event in our calendar for our members of all levels to aspire to. We look forward to witnessing our national classes, the pinnacle in the calendar for many of our members, unfold at a world-class venue again in 2025.”
