BURGHLEY HORSE TRIALS has revealed plans to speed up entry for visitors – along with new additions to the 2023 event (31 August–3 September).

Director Martyn Johnson shared news on preparations during the Lincolnshire five-star’s media morning (Wednesday, 16 August).

The event is bringing in e-ticketing for the first time this year, along with a new fan zone and Lime Avenue area – drinks and shopping in a garden setting – in the shopping village.

“It’s very important that we keep what people enjoy at Burghley and that we don’t change things for change’s sake. But we are always trying to make the experience better for people on site,” Mr Johnson told H&H.
