British Indoor Carriage Driving Championships 10-12 April 2026 at Arena UK, NG32 2EF


We look forward to welcoming you to Arena UK in this our 28th year of the Indoor Championships.

We plan to open entries on March 1st

There will be the chairman's drinks reception on Friday, a Saturday night social meal (carvery), Children's Challenge, Dick's Fun Dog Show and more.

Provisional Programme

Please read the full schedule for lots of useful information and details.

We will publish detail driver timetables and info after entries close which is scheduled for April 1st.

NOTE: All times are approximate and subject to change. Class order to be determined



Precision & Paces tests

There will be an amended P&P test for all the open, multiples, intermediate and veteran classes. We plan to publish this on March 1st.

All novice classes will drive the same ICD 2025-26 test that has been used throughout this winter season at qualifying events ...except we are planning to alter the arena entry, movement 1, to trot rather than walk for the chmapionships.



Obstacles

The obstacles will be built in the main arena and available to walk from Friday 12 noon. They will remain unchanged for the whole event. This means all the competitors will learn the same 2 obstacles, driven twice for every class.

Further information

Please see full schedule

Our grateful thanks to all our Championship Sponsors

Without our Sponsors the Championships would struggle, please support them whenever you can!
