**Please contact the Elton Hall Events Office for more information and available dates.** The Elton Hall shoot is a long established and well run family shoot in the East Midlands, near Oundle in Northamptonshire and close to both Stamford and Peterborough. The shoot is well-known for its quality and variety of game, from exhilarating partridges in high winds to woodland pheasant drives. The shoot comprises about 3,000 acres with Elton Hall, a Grade I listed historic house, at the centre. It straddles the Cambridgeshire/Northamptonshire border, just 3 miles from the A1 for easy access to all major routes. Peterborough station is within 20 minutes drive with travel time to London Kings Cross of just 45 minutes. Shooting is across a wide variety of terrain, mainly a mixture of arable and grass with over 500 acres of woodland. Our well-sited game covers allow our experienced Gamekeeper, Nicky Smith, to choose the drives on the day according to conditions to provide the best possible sport. Elton Estate offers a mixed pheasant/partridge shoot for teams of 8-10 guns with bags between 200-350. Every effort is made to provide an enjoyable day for everybody and all standards of shot are welcome. A loader is provided for young or inexperienced shots at an agreed cost. There are many beautiful views over the surrounding countryside around Elton. Days are hosted by our experienced Shoot Captain, with earlier days in September/October as mainly partridges and later days mainly pheasants. The partridges are shown from strategically positioned cover crops, which make the best use of the topography of the land. The contours are ideal for partridge shooting with undulating hills and hollows. Pheasants are shown from cover crops (usually driven back to the woods) and from the woods. There are some duck and woodcock in December and January. Teams return year after year not only for the quality of shooting but for our excellent hospitality. The day starts with morning coffee before heading out in our own gun bus. Elevenses are usually taken in a beautiful woodland corner of the Estate, around a roaring brazier, with wonderful views. Lunch is optional for teams shooting through and is served in the grand surroundings of the Billiard Room at Elton Hall, consisting of two delicious chef-cooked courses with wine. Guests can help themselves to drinks from the bar by the fireside. Alternatively, the day ends with tea back by the fireside in the Billiard Room. The popularity of the Elton Hall Shoot means that our diary fills quickly so please do not hesitate to contact the Events Office to discuss availability.
