Ramsbury at Badminton Horse Trials 2026

This year, Ramsbury Brewery & Distillery was proud to be the headline gin sponsor at the world-famous Badminton Horse Trials.

Held from 6–10 May at the stunning Badminton Estate in South Gloucestershire, the event is one of the most prestigious equestrian competitions in the world, attracting elite riders, international visitors and huge crowds each year. With an estimated attendance of around 180,000 people across the week, Badminton remains one of the biggest sporting and lifestyle events in the UK calendar.

As part of our sponsorship, we had an exclusive Ramsbury Brewery and Distillery bar in the lakeside VIP area, serving our signature spirits to guests throughout the event. We also had a shop in the popular Food Walk area, alongside a tasting stand hosted by our brand ambassador Max, where visitors could discover more about the Ramsbury range and sample our award-winning products.

The response throughout the week was fantastic. One of the biggest highlights for us has been seeing the impact continue long after the event finished, with many people making the trip to visit Ramsbury Brewery & Distillery since Badminton to learn more about the brand, explore the distillery and brewery shop, and try the full range of our spirits, beers and local produce.

Events like Badminton Horse Trials are a brilliant opportunity to connect with people who appreciate quality British produce, craftsmanship and hospitality. It was great to introduce so many new customers to Ramsbury and to share what we do with visitors from across the UK and beyond.

We’d like to thank everyone who stopped by our bar, shop and tasting stand during the week.
