Hill & Valley Coffee back on the road
The new outdoor event season starts on the first weekend in March, with seven day weeks once again the norm for about 30 weeks. The mobile espresso bars are being cleaned and gently re-vamped and our Rancilio espresso machines are off for full services at CMC in London.
Sweet espresso shots, the freshest drip-filter coffee and "to die for" cakes when "The Coffeeman" hits your farm!
Once again we have a calendar stacked with British Eventing one day horse trials across the south of England and the Cotswolds, with a seasoning of 24 hour mountain bike action and a handful of selected other events.
New this year is a tie up with William Fox Pitt, to coincide with the launch of William's innovative Fox-Pitt eventing club. A relative veteran of the British international and olympic 3 day event teams, William is consistently the highest rated British rider internationally and a regular at our stand. If arrangements go according to plan the club marquee will be adjacent to our coffee bar at a dozen or so events, allowing our customers and club members to benefit from shelter as well as an introduction to club activities. If you are an eventing enthusiast, and looking for some enhanced spectator enjoyment and the chance to be involved with a developing horse without the costs of ownership, the club is an excellent idea. Full details by clicking the link above.
Weather permitting we can definitely be found at the following one day events before Easter.
March 4th - 5th. Stilemans, near Godalming, Surrey.
March 9th - 12th. Tweseldown Racecourse, near Fleet, Hants.
March 24th - 26th Gatcombe Park, near Minchinhampton, Gloucs.
March 30th - 31st Somerley Park, near Ringwood, Hants.
April 1st - 2nd Goring Heath, near Henley-on-Thames, Oxon.
April 8th - 9th Larkhill Camp, near Amesbury, Wilts.
As well as our own stand, hot and cold food concessions operate and there is usually an interesting country shopping village with an equestrian slant. Some of the courses provide the best sunday afternoon walk in the country you could ask for and dogs are usually welcome. In fact usually there seem to be more of these than horses!
For details on how to get to any of these events, check out the fixtures section of the British Eventing website.
