We’re delighted to launch the 2025 British Eventing Support Trust Winter Ball, which takes place on Saturday 29th of November in the ballroom at the iconic Savoy Hotel in London.
With just over four months to go, the countdown has officially begun and we’re busy planning our best ball yet! Our guests are what makes this event so special, so we invite you to join us for what promises to be another unforgettable evening of wonderful food, dancing and rubbing shoulders with some of the most famous names in eventing, all in aid of a cause that matters deeply to our sport.
This exclusive black-tie event is the perfect way to wave goodbye to the eventing season and kick off the festive celebrations in style. Held in one of London’s most historic and glamorous venues, our winter ball brings together riders, owners, breeders, coaches and supporters for a night of fundraising, fine dining and plenty of fun.
Our guests will enjoy a champagne reception, followed by a three-course meal, live and silent auctions, speeches and an evening of dancing. You can snap up tickets for singles, pairs and small groups, or fill a table of ten or twelve – whatever suits you best! We’ve already sold over half of the tables and are expecting the rest to sell quickly, so make sure you don’t leave it too long.
The ball takes place just as the festive season kicks off, so why not make a weekend of it? With central London on your doorstep, it’s the perfect excuse to soak up some Christmas atmosphere, get your shopping done and treat yourself to some silent auction bidding.

Silent auction donations
The silent auction is one of the most talked-about parts of the evening and a major contributor to the funds raised for our work. This year, we are once again seeking prize donations that reflect the quality and spirit of the event.
From luxury holidays that money can’t buy and tickets to sought-after sporting events, to fine jewellery, bespoke experiences, professional photoshoots and coaching sessions with leading event riders, we welcome donations of all kinds. If you have a product, service or experience that you think would make a brilliant auction lot, we would love to hear from you.
Donating to the silent auction is a fantastic way to support the Trust while showcasing your business to a highly engaged and loyal audience.
Please contact Jane Rudd at info@besupporttrust.org.uk to discuss potential auction lots.
Celebrate the season and support our sport
The Winter Ball is a highlight of our calendar for very good reason. It brings our community together for an evening of celebration and generosity, with all proceeds helping the British Eventing Support Trust continue its essential work.
Funds raised on the night go directly towards supporting riders through injury and mental health challenges, ensuring that help is there when it’s needed most. By joining us at The Savoy this November, you’ll help us safeguard the wellbeing of the people at the heart of our sport. We look forward to seeing you there!
