Ticket information

We've put together all of the most common frequently asked questions about the LeMieux National Championships at Somerford Park.
 

Is there a BD member discount?

Yes - all BD members will have a 10% discount off all adult tickets, Pavilion, season and camping. Get your member discount code here. 

 

Can I buy a ticket on the gate?

Yes, tickets are available to purchase on the day, but please note that they must be booked online before you arrive at the event, as tickets are not on sale on the gate.
 

Are children allowed?

All accompanied children aged 15 and under can access the showground for free. Discounted general admission tickets are available for students aged 16 to 25 inclusive. However, please note that if would like to your child to have access to the LeMieux Pavilion you will need to purchase a full price ticket due to the limited capacity in this area.
 

Is car parking included in the ticket?

Yes - car parking is included in the ticket price and you will be directed to the relevant car park on arrival by our stewards.

 

Can I bring my dog? 

Yes, dogs are permitted in the Show Ground but must be kept under control and on a lead at all times.​

​

Do I need to print my ticket off and bring it with me?

You don't need to print your ticket off - all we need is for you to show us the tickets on the email confirmation you received when you purchased your ticket. We will then scan the bar code when you arrive to register you have attended.
 

What happens if I have bought tickets for a group of people and we're not all arriving together?

Simply send everyone in your party a copy of their individual ticket prior to the event - we will then be able to scan their individual tickets on arrival.
 

Can I watch the National Championships on live stream?

The only way to see the National Championships is in person, as live streaming will not be available for this event, so make sure to book your place at Somerford Park in September!

​

What time can I arrive to set up my camping pitch?

If you have a two-day camping pass, you have access to the showground from 5pm on Friday 12 September. If you have a four-day camping pass, you have access to the showground from Wednesday 10 September. 
 

Can I listen the National Championships commentary?
