Colchester & District Agricultural Society

Sherwood Park, Alberta 

The Colchester Ag Society is responsible for bookings at Fultonvale Outdoor Arena at 52029 RR 224. 

Bookings each calendar year will open March 1 for groups of 4 or more riders and April 1 for individuals.

Groups that have booked same events previous years will get priority for dates the following year.

Number of hours permitted for each group will depend on number of people attending the event.  

 

Weekend daytime bookings are for groups only doing a half or full day show or clinic and take priority to any booking or public riding booked if the event runs late into the evening.   Individual bookings will be limited to 1 hour on weekdays before 5pm, Fridays or Sunday evenings.  Tuesday and Saturday evenings between 6-8pm are open for shared public riding and cannot be booked by any individual or group. 

 

If there is no booking, arena is open for anyone to ride, but for exclusive use, it must be booked ahead. 

The arena can be booked at no charge by e-mailing Lisa or phone 780-237-7587 at least 1 month ahead.  All users are required to clean up after and haul out their garbage and manure.  Bring your own garbage bags, toilet paper & hand sanitizer for your events.  Please note that harrowing the arena is left up to the groups using it (there is an old set there if you bring a truck with a hitch, use them at your own risk). 

 

For bookings wanting the gate and concession building keys, please contact Lisa at least 2 weeks ahead of your booking to make arrangements.  We will require a $100/day clean-up deposit for all weekend bookings to hold the booking.  Cheque will not be cashed if event is cancelled or the grounds are left clean of garbage, manure and in good condition.  Cheques payable to Colchester Ag Society, drop off when you pick up the keys (1 cheque/season).
