    We were interested until we found the prices! 

    £88 for 2 nights off grid and MAYBE ABLE TO GET A DISCOUNT ON ADMISSION TO THE EVENTS!

    We can get the best part of 2 weeks on an off grid CL for less than that!

    Having been a couple of times, I thought that could not be right. i think you must have misread it DC because it is 4 nights for £88 when off grid.. The booking form gives the prices for off grid as.

    2 nights minimum @ £48.00 3 nights @ £71.00 4 nights @ 88.00

    Apologies. I stand corrected.

    Still way overpriced though!

    Does it include tickets for the horse show?

    My guess is, price is down to what the site owners are charging for the use of the land. It is not going to get cheaper for a venue like that.

    The price obviously does not include tickets to the horse show JVB but does include all occupants of a van and if I recall correctly, there are toilets on site.

    When we did rallies the price normally included tickets to what ever venue the rally was at ie the shire horse show when at Peterborough show ground as the rally officers normally got block booking prices

    Rallies at the Shire horse show were actually at the venue, that is not the case with the Windsor show and they are very diferent events. I do not recall a charge being levid to attend the Shire show. If you read the Bucks rally information you will see a 20percent discount might be available to ralliers? Its a very popular event and there may not be any bookings left for the evening shows at this late stage. The last one I went to was in 2016, the Queen's 90th Birthday celebrations.

    Some Pics attached, four of the evening show and one taken in the day.
