Finding Eventing Inspiration in Every Turn
Plant A Fence events presents eventing horse trials of the highest quality in the astounding country estate that is Chillington Hall, near Wolverhampton.
​
Chillington Hall is the ancestral family home of the Giffard family
Chillington Estate
The Giffards have held Chillington since the year 1178. The family originated in Normandy and three brothers, Walter, Osborne and Berenger came to England in 1066 with Duke William of Normandy.
​
The landscape park and lake to the south of the house were designed by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown during the 1760’s for Thomas Giffard the elder.
​
Today, Charlie & Tessa Giffard are the 30th generation of Giffards to make this very special place their home and while they adapt and modernize they hope to preserve the best of the past and capture the beauty and grace of another era. Chillington is first and foremost an intimate family home, but it has an indefinable charm that despite its formal facade will stay with you forever.
​
We are extremely grateful to the Giffard family for inviting us to run two British Eventing Affiliated horse trials each year, including the Regional Championships and BE80/90 Under 18 Championships.
