Defender Bramham International Horse Trials is delighted to announce a new three-year partnership with Pol Roger, who will become the Official Sponsor of the Members’ Enclosure from 2026 onwards.
This exciting collaboration brings together one of Britain’s most prestigious equestrian events with one of the world’s most esteemed Champagne houses, enhancing the experience for Members and visitors across all four days of the Horse Trials.
As part of the partnership, visitors who purchase a Members’ ticket during the Early Bird period (1 December – 28 February) will receive a complimentary glass of Champagne Pol Roger’s Brut Réserve, redeemable within the Members’ Enclosure during the event.
The Members’ Enclosure, situated at the heart of the event, is undergoing a major revamp for 2026, and this partnership will play a key role in elevating the offering. Already providing premium facilities, ringside viewing, and a relaxed hospitality environment, the Enclosure will be further enhanced through Pol Roger’s involvement, ensuring Members can enjoy world-class sport paired with world-class Champagne.
It’s not only Members who will benefit: a Pol Roger bar will also be introduced within the main event site, allowing all visitors to enjoy this exceptional Champagne during their day at Bramham.
Event Director, Nicholas Pritchard, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Pol Roger into the Bramham family. Their reputation for excellence aligns perfectly with our commitment to delivering a first-class experience for our visitors, and especially our Members. This partnership will undoubtedly elevate the 2026 event and the years that follow. Pol Roger is becoming synonymous with Eventing, and we are genuinely delighted to be working with them. They sit seamlessly alongside other premium brands at Bramham, including Defender, Country Living, Joules, and many more.”
Managing Director of Pol Roger Portfolio, James Simpson MW, added:
“We are delighted to extend our support of British Eventing by joining the Bramham family as Official Sponsor of the Members’ Enclosure. Bramham has long been recognised for delivering exceptional sport and entertainment in a truly beautiful setting and we are proud to contribute to the experience enjoyed by its loyal Members and visitors. Our involvement across the eventing and equestrian calendar, at Burghley, Badminton, Cornbury and Royal Windsor, and now Bramham, reflects Pol Roger’s deepening connection with this remarkable community.”
The Defender Bramham International Horse Trials will take place from 11–14 June 2026, welcoming elite eventing athletes, spectators, and supporters from across the country. Early Bird tickets go on sale 1 December 2025.
