What's On
Harts of Stur Main Ring
This year we’re excited to announce that medieval and modern horsepower are joining to bring two spectacular acts to the Harts of Stur Main Ring!
Making their first ever appearance in Dorset, one of the country’s most thrilling theatrical horse show spectaculars will thrill you with mounted medieval knights battling each other in an incredible jousting tournament. Expect breath taking stunt displays, original storylines and movie-quality armour and vibrant costumes.
If that’s not enough for one day, there’s also modern horsepower roaring into the ring. Featuring children aged 5 to 16, the Tigers Motorcycle Display Team will take to the stage as they jump through fire, negotiate tricky chicanes at top speed and carry out daring stunts.
Other Harts of Stur Main Ring attractions will include the Grand Parade of Livestock at 3:15pm on both days. We will also have parades from Steam and Vintage Vehicles.
On Thursday the Shetland Pony Display Team will return to the Harts of Stur Main Ring.
