Welcome to the Helsinki Horse Show!
The Press Center serves accredited media representatives from 26 February to 1 March. Entry is through the South Entrance, and the Messukeskus Press Room is located to the right of the main doors, up the stairs. Accredited media will receive media passes upon entry both at the South or North Entrances.
The Press Center offers facilities for working and relaxing. Accredited guests have designated seating in the press stand.
Photographers have their own shooting areas around the competition arenas. The photographers’ shooting locations will be specified in more detail at the press center. Access to the International Arena’s photography areas requires an armband indicating photography rights. The armband can be collected from the Press Center against a small deposit.

Video Recording and Live Streaming
On Sunday, March 1st, during the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ class of the show jumping World Cup competition, all kinds of video material are prohibited from being published on social media, websites, blogs, mobile applications, and for commercial purposes.
Areas where video recording is restricted include the arena, warm-up area, routes between the warm-up and the arena, and the Kiss & Cry platform. The event is organized according to FEI rules, meaning that the FEI and broadcasting rights holders define what moving images may be published. Activity is monitored, and violations of the rules may result in consequences.
Athletes, national federations, and the event organizer receive publication-free material that they are permitted to release.
Live streaming of all competition classes is allowed only for the holders of TV rights. Without rights, only short video clips and atmosphere footage may be published afterwards on social media and other platforms for news purposes, excluding the World Cup class.
