London’s First Tent Pegging Event – Twyford Sports Ground
Tent pegging is one of the oldest equestrian sports in the world — a breathtaking display of horsemanship in which a rider at full gallop uses a lance or sword to strike, pierce and carry away a small target peg fixed in the ground. Precision meets raw speed in a matter of seconds.
Rooted in centuries of cavalry heritage across South Asia, the Middle East and beyond, it remains a celebrated test of courage, timing and the deep bond between horse and rider. Now, for the very first time, this thrilling tradition comes to London.
Expect thundering hooves, dazzling skill and a festival atmosphere for all ages — a day to feel the speed and witness the tradition first-hand.
