2020 race cancelled

Unfortunately due to the Coronavirus pandemic, the 2020 Croome Capability Canter race will not take place. We had hoped to host the event following Covid secure guidelines, but unfortunately the National Trust are not permitting group events at any of their venues. Subject to how the situation is next year, we should be back in November 2021. Take care and stay safe.
