Team GB Olympic gold medallists Laura Collett, Rosalind Canter and Tom McEwen set to feature at Eventing Spring Carnival in March at Thoresby Park

Olympic gold medallists are on their way to Thoresby Park next month for the Eventing Spring Carnival.

The three-day celebration is set to take place from March 28-30 in the grounds of Thoresby Hall.

For the equestrian-minded, it’s a chance to see the victorious Team GB members who brought home gold at the Paris Olympics.

Laura Collett, Rosalind Canter and Tom McEwen joined forces to win Britain’s first gold of last summer’s Games.

The Lycetts Grantham Cup competition - the crown jewel of the carnival - will represent the first major diary date for riders and horses aiming for selection for this year’s European Championship.

They’ll head out into the grounds of Thoresby Park on March 29 to tackle the CCI4*-S cross-country phase, a fast-paced and thrilling demonstration of horsemanship and bravery.

March 30 will see some of the stars of the future compete as the Intermediate and CCI3*-S classes unfold.

It’s not just equestrian excellence that’s on the roster - each day will also see the return of the much-loved Kids in the Courtyard, where the younger members of the family can enjoy a climbing wall, bouncy castle, face painting, and more.

For those attending on Sunday, coinciding with Mother’s Day, there’s the Great Thoresby Treasure Hunt, where families and friends can take part in a fun-filled outdoor activity with a chance to win a family holiday package worth over £1,000. There will also be afternoon tea options available, starting at £14.

A Sunday Family Fun Bundle, including two adult admission tickets, car parking, and two treasure hunt tickets costs £35, and every day at Thoresby, kids go free.

The Eventing Spring Carnival also sees the return of the vintage tractor celebration and new for 2025 is an international hobby horse event.

There are plenty of hospitality options available, including the chance to meet some of eventing’s biggest names.

Early bird ticket pricing is available until February 28 at thoresby-horse.co.uk and starts at £10.
