Throughout the programme they will be counting down to the Ultimate Burghley Champion and taking you on a Burghley Odyssey, reflecting on some of the most memorable moments of the Event’s past.
Event Director, Elizabeth Inman says that “Our loyal visitors and followers were insistent that their Burghley Weekend would not go unmarked, and without the support of so many within the sport we could not have put together this super weekend of celebration.
This year, we ask our LRBHT visitors to enjoy their Burghley Food Walk picnic at home while watching this fantastic programme of all things Burghley.”
