The Queen's granddaughter will join the likes of world-class equestrian eventers William Fox-Pitt, Oliver Townend, Andrew Nicholson, Sir Mark Todd and Izzy Taylor this Saturday and Sunday.

Situated on the Shropshire/Staffordshire border, the ancestral home of the Earls of Bradford hosts the event which is seen by many in the eventing world as a key warm-up for the world-famous Badminton Horse Trials next month.

Tindall is no stranger to the event having competed last year. This year's course has been designed by Janet Plant, and weaves its way through more than a thousand acres of rolling wooded parkland with imposing fences. Plant said: "It is a real buzz and privilege to design on such a fabulous estate."

The cross country section of the show takes place on Sunday from 1-4pm and is one of the Park's most popular attractions.
