Burghley Park to partially close before and after horse trials
Event director Elizabeth Inman said: “Health and safety regulations unfortunately mean that we are required to close the central area of the park to pedestrians and unauthorised vehicles for a limited period. We are hugely grateful for the understanding shown by local residents and visitors during the partial park closure.”
The restricted area will be signposted at key points in the park from Monday, August 5 to Wednesday, September 4 (inclusive) and will then be re-applied from Monday, September 9 to Friday, September 20 (inclusive) to cover the breakdown of the event.
