Which nights should you book for Horse of the Year Show?
Families often arrive earlier in the day and want to settle before the show begins, so booking for the night of each day they attend is typical. If you are there for the first session on 7 October, plan to check in that afternoon; if you are staying for the final day on 11 October, you may wish to check out the following morning. Most families book only the nights they attend, rather than arriving before or departing after the event dates.
