CROFT TOP EQUESTRIAN CENTRE

ACCRINGTON

BB5 2DP
Based in Accrington, Lancashire, Croft Top Equestrian Centre is a family-run business and a successful equine venture with a huge range of top-class facilities. One of the best equestrian centres in the North. Close to M62.
The venue has two arenas: a warm-up arena where the dressage will take place and another larger arena for the fun, jumping and championship arena. There is a large cafe overlooking both arenas and plenty of room to put your camping chairs! Toilet's inside the arena and I believe it's dog friendly (well behaved on a lead) and level access around the site. (TBC).
