Show History

In 1907, the First Royal International Horse Show took place in The Grand Hall Olympia. In 2007 we celebrated the centenary of that great event at Olympia.

Here’s a little taste of the type of material we have found from that time all those years ago- Lord Lonsdale who is shown in the top left of the picture below, was the driving force behind the show in 1907. This picture is a part of a magazine spread that reviewed the show at the time.

There is comprehensive history of the show from the 1970s to the present day which can be found by clicking through on the dates to the left.
