Beacon Riding Club has been in existence for many years. Originally shows were held at Beacon Country Park, hence the name, and latterly at Charity Farm, Wrightington.

The facilities on offer are second to none thanks to the generosity of Fred & Phyllis Waring of Charity Farm and the dedication and hard work of the Committee Members and the support of our Sponsors and Members. The club is non profit making and all of the money raised through events is used to enhance the excellent facilities already on offer and to assist the members in pursuit of their sport.

The club caters for both young and old - one of the youngest members is only two and a half and the oldest well into his seventies - and still competing!

Each year the club hosts a number of shows and events beginning in April and ending in October, ranging from In hand and Ridden classes, Showing, Show Jumping, One Day Events and Cross Countries.

During the season there are five points shows at which members compete to try to win their class and become a Trophy winner at the end of season presentation evening and to secure a place at the ' Festival of Champions' held at Birchinley Manor, Rochdale which to many is the Wembley of the Riding Club circuit. There are also Cross Country and One Day Events that are supported by both members and non-members of the club coming from a far a field as Cumbria and Stoke.

A day out at Beacon is well worth while both for competitors or on lookers, you will be able to relax in the lovely countryside, have a bite to eat whether from the mobile refreshment bar or one of the many local pubs and enjoy a fun packed day. Watch out for our show dates which are published in the Farmers Guardian or available on our web site.
