Paws in the Park
“The South of England Event Centre is very well looked after and whenever we visit the site, come rain or shine it always looks immaculate. It is also a very well-known site with lots of trained dog owners as they have entered many competitions at Ardingly over the years, so it is a firm favourite for them.”

ESPC Senior Camp
“Just a quick note to say many thanks for a lovely camp this year. The XC is the best we have ever had in terms of jumps and ground conditions. It was also great to be able to use both water jumps and our members found this so beneficial. The cleaning of Rank Lodge and the toilets was, as always, up to an exceptional standard. I would also like to thank your stockman staff who came and helped muck out the stables on Monday morning. I think this years camp at Ardingly is the best we have had for many years and this is due to your help and assistance up to and during camp.”
Lisa Taylor, East Sussex PC Senior Organiser
