Early bird tickets are now on sale for the Mars Badminton Horse Trials in May and supporting the iconic trials for the first time is local company is Ramsbury Distillery.
The company creates its awarding winning drinks just 20 miles from the Badminton Estate. Ramsbury gin and vodka products will be served exclusively across the site including at the Badminton Lakeside facility which hosts live entertainment each evening and will also be home to the ‘Ramsbury Gin Bar’.
“Badminton Horse Trials is an iconic celebration of excellence, heritage and the countryside – values that resonate strongly with Ramsbury” said Nikolas Fordham GM of Ramsbury Brewing & Distilling co. Ltd. “We’re proud to partner with an event that shares our commitment to sustainability, craftmanship and provenance and we look forward to welcoming spectators to experience our spirits throughout the week in the bars, Badminton Food Walk & Lakeside.”
Last year’s winner Ros Canter recently gave birth to her second child and whilst nothing is confirmed, no one will be surprised if she and Lordships Gruffalo (Walter) enter. Out of six runs in 2025, Walter won three of them, finishing his season victorious at Burghley – becoming the first horse in history to win both Burghley and Badminton twice.
