Fixtures

Barbury's three fixtures each season cover the full range of competitive steeplechasing across the period from December to April. Whatever your fancy, there's a fixture to suit you, packed with great entertainment, a highly sociable atmosphere, plenty of shopping opportunities  and food & drink galore from our Barbury Kitchen, the licensed bar or the picnic in the back of your car!

 

Sunday December 15

The Barbury International is the only Point-to-Point to draw together riders and horses from the UK and Ireland on a UK Point-to-Point course. Races are also open to licensed trainers provided horses have not run under Rules for 50 days and are qualified with a hunt. And the event stages the second of a series of Point-to-Point Bumpers. It's all designed to encourage the development of young horses in our sport, and promises some hot competition. 

Admission from £10 in advance, £15 on the day (includes racecard)

Sunday February 9

The Vine & Craven's meeting stages 7 races beginning at 1130. There's some archly competitive races to blow away the cobwebs, as well as trade stands to while away the time between races.There's a fair chance you'll bump into one of Wiltshire or Lambourn's many National Hunt trainers, so it's a good place to get a steer on what's hot for the following month's Cheltenham Festival. 

Admission from £10 in advance, £15 on the day (includes racecard). 

Sunday April 5

The Tedworth concludes the Barbury racing season featuring the £750 Tedworth Gold Cup over 3 3/4 miles in a six race card that provides plenty of opportunity for shopping, children's activities and all the fun of a country fair. 

Admission from £15

By his own admission, the days of Grade I winners and high days at Cheltenham for Barbury trainer Alan King, are now few and far between, given the concentration of spending power harnessed by the big guns of the Jumps game. The seemingly never-ending phalanx of owners with six figure budgets scoop up all the best stock at public auction, and Closutton in particular has a network of scouts scourin...

Enthusiastic owners Clive and Joan Hitchings are based only a few miles from Chaddesley Corbett racecourse and have long wanted a horse good enough to land the prestigious Lady Dudley Cup which takes centre stage on the seven race-card at the Worcestershire venue on Saturday.
