1. Stable field passes are available to members – one per current member. They are available for collection in person only from our hospitality marquee from Wednesday afternoon. They cannot be pre-booked so please don’t ask – we don’t like to say no!

Members to arrive at 10.15am with the AGM to start at 10.30am. There will be an opportunity to join online should you be unable to attend in person. Please advise if you would like the Microsoft teams invitation or if you will come on the day so we know for catering purposes.
3. Burghley is operating as a cash free venue this year – however in our hospitality marquee we will accept cash for membership fees, guest tickets, donations and merchandise purchases. We will also have our card machine available.
