Christmas gift inspiration

Dine in style

Give someone the gift of hospitality at Hickstead with an eGift card. These can be used at either of our international shows, and include the Beethoven restaurant and Al Shira’aa Suite, all with some of the best views over the International Arena. Purchase an eGift card now and allow your recipient to choose the date and hospitality option themselves. Hospitality bookings open in February 2025. 

Training time  

Buy the riders in your life something they'll actually love and opt for a Hickstead schooling gift voucher! Gift vouchers cost £40 each, giving the recipient a 1hr schooling session for one horse, or you can also get a group of friends or fellow liveries together for a group visit, and make some useful savings. For example, if you book for four horses you make a saving of £20 on the individual costs, and if you book up to eight horses - giving you exclusive hire for that hour - you can save a massive £100! When you book, you will receive an email with a booking code, to be redeemed whenever suits.

Members only

To really treat someone you love, opt for Annual Membership at Hickstead. Not only do you get access to every single day of the Hickstead competition season, you also get an abundance of reciprocal days at other premier sporting venues, including racing, cricket and polo. Not only that, if you book before May, you'll receive some massive savings on the price of membership. Click here to discover more. 

Hickstead merchandise

There's so much to choose from in our official merchandise range, including hoodies, polo shirts, jackets, gilets, bags, horse rugs and more. Stylish and practical, these items are sure to go down a treat on Christmas morning. Outlanda Apparel is also offering an end of season 15% discount for online orders up until 24 December - use the code HICK15 when checking out. Click here to buy.  

Stocking filler

Imagine giving someone the chance to see some of the best arena polo players in the world in action, with an international test match between England and Ireland, for less than the price of a pint of beer? £8 will give someone a ticket to the upcoming Arena Polo International Day, on Saturday 18 January. Tickets can be instantly purchased and downloaded, making them a brilliant option for those who tend to leave things to the very last minute!  

Picnic Parking

Our ringside picnic parking is bound to give your loved ones something to look forward to, offering your own exclusive area, overlooking the International Arena. It's the perfect place to take a group of friends, pack a picnic (and a bottle of champagne or two) and enjoy a fun day out at one of our international shows. This popular area always sells out, so be sure to book early! 

Stocking filler

Highweald Ringside Terrace tickets are the perfect upgrade gift for any dedicated Hickstead fan. Prices start from just £9 when purchased in advance, and are a great addition to General Admission tickets, giving you your own raised viewing platform from which to watch the International Arena action.

All the action

Another fantastic, sustainable gift idea is signing someone up to a year's subscription with ClipMyHorse.TV. For £129.95 they'll be able to watch all the competition from Hickstead's shows, plus thousands of other equestrian events around the world. 

Smile for the camera

Our official photographer Spidge has lots of gift options, which is the perfect way to give someone a memento of their Hickstead moments. Choose from framed prints, collages, canvases and more. 

Showing competitors at the Agria Royal International Horse Show can head to the Equinational website to make their gift orders.

And finally...

One option that is sure to go down a treat is tickets to our two international shows - and the good news is that our Box Office is now open! With plenty of flexible ticket options, including gift vouchers, it's a guaranteed way of making someone's day this Christmas, and giving them a gift that they'll really look forward to.
