Bolesworth's Big Beautiful Weekend
Friday 15 June 2018
Cheshire is gearing up for the big, beautiful weekend at Bolesworth Castle, where world-class sport meets fabulous entertainment and a buzzing social scene.
The Equerry Bolesworth International Horse Show, which runs from June 13th to 17th, is one of the biggest sporting and social weekends in the Cheshire summer calendar.
Show president, Nina Barbour said: “We like to think of our show as an exciting mix of entertainment and world-class sport. The stunning backdrop of Bolesworth Castle creates a special atmosphere similar to a day at the races. It’s a special day out and we like to think we bring a taste of the Great British summer season to the heart of Cheshire.”
The showjumping will showcase stars from all over the world with the competition climaxing with the 1.60m Equerry Bolesworth International Grand Prix on Sunday afternoon, with riders battling for their share of the 100,000 Euro prize pot.
Other highlights include the Equitop Myoplast Puissance, on Friday night and action from some of the UK’s finest polo players, showing their speed and talent in an exhibition polo match.
The Equerry Bolesworth International Horse Show has gained a reputation for being one of the best venues for VIP hospitality and networking. Nina Barbour is developing the event to sit alongside traditional British summer sporting and social events, like Goodwood, Ascot, Henley and tennis at Queen’s Club.
Barbour said: “The Bolesworth team spends all winter conjuring up a spectacular and magical programme and we’re improving our offer every year. For 2018, we have the brand new ‘Club Boles’ next to the main ring, which will host a serious line-up of music and entertainment, including Ibiza Classics on Friday night and Rick Parfitt Jr and the RPJ band live on Saturday night.”
For fans of alternative forms of horse power, there is a full line up of Freestyle Motocross from the Arenacross FMX crew all weekend. There’s also fun with horses and cars on Saturday evening as riders compete in the Bentley Ride & Drive, jumping over fences with their horses and then racing against the clock around an obstacle course in the sleek Bentley Bentayga V8 worth more than £150,000.
For families with children, throughout the weekend, Bolesworth has mountain bike displays, interactive electric bike zone, pony rides, exotic animals, crazy golf, an assault course, fun fair, inflatables and the ever-popular Bolesworth Dog Show, plus a full range of bars and food outlets.
Bolesworth has a shopping village with over 100 retailers selling everything from diamonds to designer shirts and the Fine Food and Lifestyle Marquee celebrates local produce and gifts over the weekend.
Tickets are available on the gate.
