With expertise in complex itineraries, premium services, and exceptional support, we ensure a seamless, stress-free experience. (https://www.bpiht.co.uk/partners-2025/)

We have negotiated on behalf of EHOA members some special rates and we have one hotel in particular we aim to promote as the Official event hotel. 

Warner Hotels Heythrop Park Hotel – situated just 14 km (approximately 20 minutes) from Blenheim Palace.

Location: Heythrop Park, Enstone, Chipping Norton OX7 5UE

Hotel: Heythrop Park is a Grade II* listed country house and grounds set in Oxfordshire, on the northeast shoulder of the Cotswolds. It’s inspired by Italian Baroque architecture from 300 years ago. There are three restaurants, two live music venues, bars, historic lounges, plus an 18-hole golf course and driving range, and traditional games in the grounds. The spa offers a complete feel-good experience with an indoor heated swimming pool, sauna, steam room and hot tubs on the outdoor terrace.

Adult only hotel – This is an adult only property. All guests over aged 18 and over. Please contact us if you require accommodation solutions with family / children.

Garden space: Heythrop Park is set in 440 acres of grounds with rolling countryside views. It’s home to an 18-hole golf course, ancient woods, cascades and rivers.

Standard rooms: Comfort is king in the smallest rooms for two. Standard by name but never by intent, they offer a double bed, all the necessities and lots of personality. Fresh colours are inspired by Adelaide, the countess who introduced Mediterranean elegance in the early 1700s. Earthy tones and vintage artwork connect with the surroundings.

Deluxe rooms: Bags of character and spacious surroundings are ‘the norm’ here. These rooms are layered with little luxuries that elevate any stay – a super king size bed, armchairs and beautiful décor. Velvets, timber panelling and heritage colours add softness and a slice of nostalgia.

Superior rooms: With 13-feet-high ceilings and giant fireplaces, the rooms and suites in the Baroque manor lean into their history. In the south wing they offer modern comfort. Generously sized, all come with a feature or super king size bed as well as sofa. Some have rolltop baths and marble basins, others dual aspect windows.

Brasserie32 in the manor house: The breakfast and dinner menus champion British heritage recipes and traditional ingredients from the 1900s in an elegant setting with an outdoor terrace. Hospitable table service makes it even more of an occasion.

The Travelling Duke Pub & Kitchen: The pub-style eatery serves British classics and local drinks.

The Market Kitchen in the Orangery: The restaurant serves breakfast and three-course evening meals with buffet and à la carte waiter service.

The Theatre: Like going out to see a show, the experience is all about relaxing (maybe with popcorn and a G&T from the box office) as the magic unfolds on stage. Musicals, bands and cinema experiences are on the menu.

The Late Lounge: Open late with a stage and next-door bar, this is the place to forget inhibitions, command the dance floor and feel the energy of live music.

Horseheath Horse Trials

Some news to share with everyone ahead of their entries opening in a few days.

Horseheath Horse Trials is set to return to the British Eventing family next month under the expert management of the Little Downham team. Running across the weekend of the 22nd – 23rd March with a range of classes from BE100 to Advanced, the East Anglia event offers exceptional ground and brand-new courses for 2025.

Long & Flowing Tracks

With a complete re-think of the site, the new cross-country tracks will be long and flowing, perfect to get horses travelling at this early stage of the season. Tracks will all be encouraging and tailored for the time of year.

The racecourse runs a popular point-to-point throughout the winter with a strong reputation for providing excelling going even in the wettest months. The ground for the cross-country has been rested for several years and meticulously cared for, to undoubtedly provide the best going for the time of year.

Heated Spectating Area

The event is pleased to confirm that a heated spectator marquee will be available for all to enjoy. Sited between the showjumping and key area of the cross-country course it will offer a prime viewing location in a comfortable setting.

Full catering options will be available within. Thanks to the support of the EHOA members will be able to enjoy a complimentary soup and roll whilst watching.

Easy Access

Those not familiar with the event, Horseheath Racecourse is situated on the A1307, a short drive from the A11, M11 and A14 and major routes including the A1 and M25. Easy access from all areas utilising the A-road and motorway network.

5* Stabling

Thanks to a partnership with Tattersalls, overnight stabling is available a short drive away from the event at the purpose-built Exeter Stables complex. Large and airy barn stables, with hard standing parking in secure area. Single night options available from £45, with bio security to BHA standards.

Entries open 24th February and close 4th March, allowing owners and riders to enter much closer to the event.

With kind regards,
