Badminton Horse Trials from The Fleece
Badminton Horse Trials from The Fleece. The Fleece stands in Cirencester. It stands on Market Place, GL7 2NZ. Fleece Hotel is Grade II listed. Kemble station is 8 minutes away by car. Expect about 41 minutes on the road via the A429, A433 and A46, a distance of 21.8 miles. That is 77 minutes shorter than the same trip from Mayfair. The 2027 dates are 5–9 May. Competition covers dressage over two days, a roughly 4-mile cross country course, then show jumping on the final day.
How the day runs
Your car is at the door of The Fleece before you come down. Choose a luxury people-carrier for a larger party. Leaving The Fleece, the car picks up the A429 and keeps to the main roads. For drop-off, the organisers' own rules apply. A one-way system runs on the Saturday. Cars must use the designated drop-off point in Badminton Village, approaching from the south or west, not the north or through the Park; otherwise they cannot leave until after 14:00. Every car needs a parking pass. Through the afternoon the car is parked close by, not sent away. After the last of the day, it is about 40 minutes back to The Fleece.
