Badminton Horse Trials 2025: Artisans, tickets, important info
Badminton Horse Trials (Wednesday 7th May to Sunday 11th May 2025) are back for another wonderful year, with world-class sport, fabulous shopping and delicious food, all set within the beautiful parkland of the historic Badminton estate in South Gloucestershire.
Even if you're new to international equestrian events, you're guaranteed to have a good time. Eventing covers three different disciplines, so you can watch competitors dazzle in dressage, cross country, and show jumping, too.
Discerning shoppers have the vast shopping village to explore (covering everything you can think of), and foodies have plenty of catering options to choose from. If you fancy staying for the full weekend, there are both glamping and camping options available.
You can even join Country Living in person as we return with our pop-up artisan shopping pavilion.
You can shop everything from handmade dog beds and vintage-inspired ceramics to stylish hats, all in one place. If you want to check out our exhibitors before you visit, take a look at our comprehensive list.
Some of the artisans you can expect to see:
Sophie April Mann
Sophie April Mann brings her love of textiles and design to life through her enchanting homeware collection. After graduating in Textile Design, she began painting windows while working for The Parlour Lavenham. Inspired by her creative experiments during the pandemic, Sophie launched her homewares collection, now showcased across East Anglia.
"On the summer days I was painting in my garden, and after much persuasion from my family, I decided it was finally time to create my own homeware collection," Sophie says of her decision to start her business.
Twizzell England
Twizzell England is a mother-and-daughter team passionate about colour and creativity. Starting with handmade seed paper cards, the brand quickly grew to offer vibrant block-printed textiles and joyful lifestyle products. Now, with over 60 stockists across the UK, they continue to spread positivity through their evolving product range.
They say: "The intention was to bring joy and colour into the lives of others and those who purchase our products."
Turner & Bell
Turner & Bell combines their love for dogs and fashion and design expertise to create a range of beautifully designed collars and leads – meaning your fluffy companions will be almost as stylish as you. Inspired by their seven canine companions, they’ve crafted an eclectic range of quality products that reflect their passion for animals. They also produce shoes and accessories for humans.
They say: "We love dogs. They are the perfect antidote to the stress and pressures of the working day." We completely agree!
Have A Gander
Based in East Kent, Fiona Flaherty and Peter Gander create charming products featuring hand-drawn illustrations full of fun and humour. From eye-catching maps to tea towels, aprons, and greeting cards, their range is a celebration of originality and craftsmanship, all made using high-quality materials in the UK.
They say: "Our ever-expanding range is diverse, but all products have one common link; they are derived from hand-drawn or hand-lettered originals."
