The Barefoot Retreats Burnham Market International Horse Trials

Friday 17th – Sunday 19th April 2026

With your Barbour zipped up and your welly boots excited about the mud, you get to enjoy the thrill of world-class eventers pounding the ground as they gallop through the countryside against the clock, your tipple almost spilling with the thrill of it and, best of all, it’s under Norfolk’s famous big skies.

There really is nothing quite like playing spectator at the horse trials and we’re excited for the annual Barefoot Retreats Burnham Market International Horse Trials. We’re talking about a dozen of the top 20 eventers in the world descending to the coast to battle it out for the ultimate bragging rights. The prestigious equestrian competition showcases top-level eventing competitions. Riders and horses will compete in dressage, cross-country, and show jumping phases. The event sees elite riders from around the world travel to Burnham Market for its challenging course and beautiful countryside setting.

Along with three days of eventing action there are delicious food vendors (making picnics optional), and producers, cash bars, Falconry displays and terrier racing, a funfair and an array of exhibitors from jackets to saddlery, footwear, pet products and lifestyle and interiors.
