Preparations have begun for Camp 2024, and we are so excited to share with you this year’s information!
Camp is open to all our members and we would invite everyone to join us for this memorable week.
We are expecting this year’s camp to be as popular as ever, please read on for more details.

Camp will be held at our Pony Club Field, Valley Lane, Markyate AL3 8AP.  Please ensure your pony’s vaccinations are up to date and that your child has attended a minimum of 3 rallies with their pony prior to camp.

Due to the updated IT systems, there is a non-refundable booking fee attached to your bookings this year, but you can be assured that that we have extensively researched the best option available to us.

In order to book your place you will need to have a valid membership. If it expires before June you will have to renew your membership early. This can be done up to a month in advance, via the Membership Portal.
