The Warter Priory Charity Clay Shoot 2025 in support of the Countryside Alliance

Warter Priory, the world-class shooting estate set in the heart of East Yorkshire, is hosting a two-day charity clay shoot on Thursday 15 and Friday 16 May 2025, followed on Saturday 17 May by the ‘high tower challenge’ and fundraising ball. Over the last 10 years, this renowned annual event has raised over £1 million for a number of organisations, including the British Heart Foundation, RNLI, Army Benevolent Fund, Yorkshire Air Ambulance, Parkinson’s UK, with over £205,000 raised for the Countryside Alliance in 2024.

Warter Priory is primarily a shooting estate, and they feel that in order to safeguard our field sports, especially in the present political climate, all proceeds from this year’s Charity Clay Shoot and Fundraising Ball will be split 50:50 between the Countryside Alliance, the leading campaigning organisation dedicated to ensuring a future for field sports, and the Clocktower Foundation. This bespoke military charity supports those wounded on operations, assists with their recovery, and improves the prospects of all members of the regimental family who are in need.

There will be up to 60 teams of eight (four guns and four loaders) shooting a total of six stands, one of which will be a pool shoot, each day. The price per team is £1,500, and this includes hospitality and refreshments throughout the day, and a champagne drinks reception following which there will be lunch with an auction of some unique lots, many of which would not be available on the open market. All 12 and 20 bore shotgun cartridges will be provided. Additional non-shooting friends and guests are welcome to join at a charge of £100 per person.

This will be the main fundraising event for the Countryside Alliance in 2025, and we are incredibly grateful to the Warter Priory Estate for choosing the Alliance as one of its joint beneficiaries. It is therefore very much hoped that you will bring, or be part of, a team on the 15 and / or 16 May, for what promises, once again, to be a thoroughly memorable and enjoyable event. To enter a team, please complete this form, which you can also download below.
