Where Do I Find My Ticket?
Once your ticket is purchased you can access it in your account via the Eventbrite app or website. You will need to create an Eventbrite login.
If you would prefer to print your ticket, this option is also available on the Eventbrite website.
How do I know how to get to each venue?
This year were are using the SmartGuide app to organize stops on the tour. More info coming soon!
Where should I start the tour?
You can start the tour at any venue, but we recommend beginning at Trinity Episcopal Church.
Since the tour began, church members have talked to the public about best routes, and favorite places to visit. They have short cuts, helpful tips, and places to see. If you come at 9am on Saturday you also get a selfie moment and a cup of coffee with the Piedmont Hounds! But remember. You can start the tour at any stop. Stewards will check you in and help you plan your day! If you are an early bird, don't forget that the Middleburg Training Center opens at 7am so you can watch Thoroughbreds in action!
Can I buy tickets the day of the tour?
Pending availability following early ticket sales. Check back for an update as we get closer!
What should I wear?
It is usually a very warm sunny day. Wear comfortable clothes, perhaps a hat, and casual shoes for walking. Don’t forget your SPF and water! (We’ll also have refreshments available at certain stops.)
Is my ticket good for both days?
YES! We’d love to see you on both Saturday and Sunday!
Is the ticket for a car load or per person?
It is per person. We have group rates for 10 or more at $35 at ticket. Remember, children 10 and under are free.
Can I bring my dog?
No, unfortunately dogs are not allowed on the tour. This is for the safety of the horses as well as dogs. No pets are allowed.
Who benefits from the money raised by the tour?
The Hunt Country Stable Tour (HCST) is central to Trinity’s mission as having our campus and congregation serve as a catalyst of bringing the community together to not only showcase our equestrian and historical heritage, but to also raise money for giving back to those in need within the community, locally, regionally and nationally. Proceeds from the HCST go towards the Trinity Ministries which provide financial support to organizations that enhance the lives of people in need.
Where should I eat lunch?
Our picnic site this year is at Trinity Episcopal Church in Upperville. We will have food trucks and offer adult and children's choices. Picnic tables, church tours, wildlife displays, lemonade, and a visiting sculpture artist will all be a part of the festivities. Our recommendation is to stop by for a great lunch, take a tour of the church, and enjoy the courtyard activities!
On Sunday the Cathedral Brass will present an outdoor concert free during lunch hour (more details to come). Enjoy a spectacular Memorial Day Weekend concert in beautiful Hunt Country while you dine!
We will suggest local lunch spots on the official app for the tour - check back, we’ll link when available!
