It is one of the biggest fixtures on the local calendar and has something for all classes of rider.

Money raised at this popular event will go towards Charlie's Challenge charity, raising funds into childhood brain tumours. This is something which is very close to the heart of Lucy Thomson, the owner of Lavant House Stables.

A member of her family was directly affected by childhood brain tumours and she has consistently raised money to support the charity.

Charlie's Challenge was established in 1993 after Charlie Boutwood, then aged 20 months, was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumour.
