Commercial Venues
Commercial venues include: equestrian centres, livery yards, cross country courses, etc, that hold or host equestrian events as part of their business.

Mixed Events: If the event contains both open & commercial events, the commercial event will take precedence & the commercial event rules will apply.

Charity Events
We are happy to support charities by providing them with free commercial events. The event must be held primarily to support or in aid of the charity, with all profits going directly to the charity. Giving a donation or small percentage of profits to charity, does not qualify as a free commercial event, therefore a current Standard Directory will be required.

What is a Standard Listing in the NFED Services Directory?
With a Standard Listing in the NFED Services Directory, all events are completely free regardless of where the event is held, which is ideal for instructors using multiple venues, or if you own a venue, free for anyone using your venue, equipment or facilities.

Each event will link to your listing to provide further information. Prices start at £3.00 per month with subscribe & save, Click Here for details.

Please Note: Economy Listing are available at half the price for those that wish to advertise services without the extras. Free commercial events are NOT included with an Economy Listing.

The Venue has a listing, how do I know if it qualifies? #freecommercial
Venues that qualify for free commercial events are marked with the hashtag, #freecommercial. This means that any commercial event at that venue can be advertised in the NFED Free of charge. Searching the directory for #freecommercial will list all of the venues with a Standard Listing or Click Here

Venues with Economy Directory Listings do not qualify for free events, so are not marked with the hashtag.

I don’t want a Directory Listing.
Sorry, but as from March 2024, we can no longer afford to cover the costs of commercial events, they will not be accepted without a Standard Listing in the NFED Services Directory.

A Standard Directory Listing costs only £3.00 per month & will help us to keep the NFED online, whilst giving you free commercial events & advertising for your business or venue.
