Gatcombe Park Event Hire

Gatcombe Park is the country residence of Anne, Princess Royal which is located near to the village of Minchinhampton. The main building is Grade II* listed and was built in the late 18th century, and it a purely private residence. The grounds of the estate are well known in the eventing world for hosting the Festival of British Eventing every year, over the first weekend in August. There are also two smaller horse trials which take place on the estate in the spring and autumn, and a biannual craft fair with around 160 exhibitors which taes place in May and October.

We're proud to deliver event hire to Gatcombe Park. Some of the items we can deliver include:

Gatcombe Park serves as a prominent location for large outdoor gatherings, including the Festival of British Eventing and seasonal craft fairs. Due to the scale of these occasions, organizers frequently hire extensive quantities of folding chairs, trestle tables, and heavy duty catering equipment. Given the equestrian focus and outdoor nature of the site, we often supply robust glassware and durable linen suitable for marquee environments. Our inventory supports the logistical requirements of hosting thousands of visitors across the estate grounds during peak event periods.

Planning for events at this Gloucestershire site requires careful calculation of attendee numbers to determine equipment volume. Because the estate is a private residence with specific access routes, organizers should confirm site entry requirements well in advance. We recommend ordering extra folding furniture to accommodate fluctuating crowds at the spring and autumn horse trials. When selecting catering gear, consider the distance from power sources to the serving area. Accurate site plans help our team manage the delivery of large quantities of equipment efficiently.

Expo Hire provides delivery services to Gatcombe Park and the wider Gloucestershire region seven days a week to match your event schedule. Our transport team is familiar with local access routes to facilitate the movement of large equipment orders. Delivery and collection fees are calculated based on the distance from our warehouse to your specific location on the estate. Please provide clear site instructions and contact details for the delivery day to assist our drivers in reaching the correct drop off point.
