Job description

We eat, sleep and breathe events. Inspiring, exciting and entertaining millions through our varied portfolio of events. We believe that great events are about community, fun, innovation and excitement and we apply that ethos to everything that we do. Our sponsorship and exhibitor participation has the ability to transform and revitalise industries.

At Stable Events, we curate a diverse array of experiences that celebrate the rich tapestry of our passions and heritage. From the spirited displays at the GWCT Scottish Game Fair, where Scotland's countryside traditions come alive, to the elegance of The Agria Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials set against the historic backdrop of Blenheim Palace, each event is a journey into the heart of culture and community.

Our events, such as The Game Fair, unite enthusiasts in a shared appreciation for rural life. The latest addition to our portfolio, DogFest, celebrates the joy of canine companionship with activities and displays in stunning stately home settings. The World Gunmakers’ Evening showcases exceptional craftsmanship in bespoke firearms, and LAPADA at Berkeley Square presents a curated collection of fine art and antiques in London's elegant Mayfair.

Every event we host is designed to inspire, entertain, and foster connections, transforming moments into lasting memories.
