Blenheim helps out exhibitors disappointed by Badminton’s cancellation

Blenheim Horse Trials (6-9 September) is extending their trade stand area this year, to accommodate exhibitors disappointed by Badminton’s cancellation.

“We understand that many exhibitors will be hugely out of pocket having bought in a large amount of stock and committed to staff, display and accommodation costs,” said event director Mandy Hervieu. “So we are trying to do what we can to help.”

Blenheim is not only adjusting the layout of its trade stand village, but also offering stand holders flexible payment.

John Harvey of Horses in Sport, who exhibits at both Badminton and Blenheim said: “It’s our livelihood attending events [and] it’s a real help when the sport works together and we find supportive and empathetic events.”
