TV presenter and British Dressage Ambassador Nicki Chapman will host the event, joined by special guests.
Nicki said; “The Spanish Riding School of Vienna very rarely perform outside Austria but when they do they thrill crowds with their astonishing combination of grace and athleticism.
“I’m lucky enough to have been involved in the last two UK tours and it’s an experience that will stay with me for the rest of my life!
