We've got half price tickets to this brilliant day out on Easter Monday (April 21) - we've only got a limited amount so hurry!
Back for 2025, this Easter Monday’s London Harness Horse Parade at the South of England Centre in Ardingly will feature transport through the ages.
The magnificent sight of over a hundred historic horse drawn carts and carriages together with vintage and classic cars, tractors, vans and motorbikes is a spectacle not to miss.
First started in 1885, this popular intergenerational Easter activity allows spectators to see the changes from horse drawn transport to mechanically propelled vehicles and is excellent value for a family costing just £5 per adult (for Hidden members only) with children and parking free.
The event will also feature classic cars, trade stands, refreshments and horse drawn wagon rides.
Any owner of a cart or carriage or historic vehicle is welcome to take part in the parade to depict transportation through the ages. The annual event is an amalgamation of The London Cart Horse Parade (first started in 1885) and the London Van Horse Parade (started in 1904).
The 2024 Parade will take place on Easter Monday (April 21), starting at 9am with car exhibitors providing a static display whilst the Veterinary and Farriery inspections take place at 10am, followed at 10.30am by judging of the light and then heavy horse turnouts.
The gates open at 8.00 am for spectators to watch the exhibits being prepared, admire the historic and classic vehicles in attendance and visit the trade stands to do some Easter shopping as well as enjoy refreshments.
The Main Parade and presentation of prizes will take place following completion of judging and inspections at around 12.30pm.

Please note this offer will close on Tuesday April 15.
