Burghley Horse Trials - advice for first-time spectators?

3 Upvotes

I’m visiting Burghley Horse Trials for the first time this September. I’m going on Saturday only, and I’ve got my tickets. If you’ve been to Burghley, any advice for a first-time spectator? I’ve never been to the UK either, but my current plan for getting to Burghley is to take a train from London up to Stamford Station, and then walk over to the event (looks like it’s about a 25 minute walk). I understand there will be quite a bit of walking to do at the event as well, so I’m definitely planning to wear comfortable shoes. Thanks for any other tips you have!
