First held in 1961, the Hickstead Derby is one of the most historic and popular classes in showjumping, and it is set to return to the All England Jumping Course on Sunday, June 26 after a two-year absence in Covid-19 restrictions.

The fearsome course includes the 10ft 6in slope of the Derby Bank, the notoriously difficult Devil’s Dyke combination and one of the widest water jumps in the world.
