Lamberts Castle is a small private shoot run as a shooting club for club members. We employ a full-time gamekeeper and have a close knit team of beaters and pickers-up. We shoot Fridays and Tuesdays and welcome new club members to our friendly shoot.
The 26/27 season is now open and we would be delighted to speak with anyone interested in joining the team; We only have a few spaces available on our syndicate days. Shooting Tuesdays and Fridays. We also have two rare let days available on our club member shoot, we can cater for teams of 7-10, further info by message or see dates available below.
Please call to chat and make a no pressure appointment to visit the shoot and see for yourself.
Hospitality
A bacon sandwich or an optional full-English to start the day, we stop for a proper elevenses; charcuterie, pies and nibbles with sloe-gasms. The main meal at the end of the day will be a game main, Pheasant, Partridge, Duck or Venison in a pie served with seasonal vegetables and crispy roast potatoes and gravy. Pudding would be apple pie, spotted dick, jam roly-poly served with custard.
Topography
Lamberts Castle is a glorious haven of valleys and goyles that time forgot. Because the ground is steep and wet it has been well preserved with little change since the second world war. In this picturesque setting we have established fourteen drives where we can shoot pheasant partridge and a few duck. We typically shoot four drives a day so guns have plenty of variety during the day.
Conservation Efforts
We plant many acres of wild bird mix as well as conducting rigorous predator control to ensure that the land supports a diverse and healthy range of wild life.
About the hosts
Simon hosts every day personally and has run shoots since 1985. He believes that shooting is about a proper day out where laughter is as important as decent birds. Simon's wife Celine runs the picking up team with her six Labradors.

This was our first day at Lamberts Castle (I shared a peg with my wife) and it exceeded expectations. The weather was less than ideal with rain and wind gradually giving way to mixed cloud and sun. Organisation was excellent, drives were well managed and a good steady variety of birds were presented, swooping partridge and high pheasant and most things in-between. Beaters, hospitality and company were all first class.

Brilliant day. Excellent presentation of birds in a beautiful setting. Topography suits a mix of quarry and heights. Hosting by Simon was superb throughout the day.

Cracking day we had there. The topography of the countryside helps present some stunning birds. The beating team kept a steady flow of birds over all the guns. Birds were suitable for all abilities. Lovely home cooked food throughout the day. We’ll be back for more.

First time visit and well worth the trip. Great meeting location and very friendly welcome. Weather was showers most of the day and very overcast but this didn’t stop the quality of birds being shown. As this is rather a hilly area, there is a bit of walking to do, so this is worth remembering. Elevenses were great, with the homemade venison salami being a real winner. Simon & the team provided an excellent day and I’d have no problem in recommending them.
