Badminton Horse Trials 6th – 10th May 2026

Elm Of Burford at Badminton 2026

Few events capture the spirit of the British countryside quite like the Badminton Horse Trials. Set within the spectacular parkland of the Badminton Estate, this world-class equestrian event returns from Wednesday 6th to Sunday 10th May 2026, bringing together elite sport, heritage, and an unrivalled country lifestyle experience.

Each year, Badminton draws thousands of visitors from across the UK and beyond, all eager to witness the very best in eventing. From the elegance of dressage to the adrenaline of cross-country and the precision of show jumping, the competition itself is truly exceptional. Yet Badminton is far more than a sporting event—it’s a five-day celebration of rural life, style, and tradition.

And at the heart of that experience lies one of its most loved attractions: The Badminton Shopping Village.

With over 500 carefully curated retailers, the Shopping Village has become a destination in its own right. Whether you’re searching for equestrian essentials, luxury country clothing, artisan homewares, or gourmet treats, the variety on offer is second to none.

Wander through beautifully styled stands, meet independent makers, and discover established heritage brands—all set against the stunning backdrop of the estate. It’s a place where quality, craftsmanship, and timeless style take centre stage.

For many visitors, the Shopping Village is just as much a highlight as the competition itself—and it’s easy to see why.

We’re delighted to be returning once again as Elm of Burford at Badminton 2026. You’ll find us at Stand 169 in Swangrove Street, where we’ll be showcasing a carefully selected range of premium country clothing and accessories.
