Win a fabulous days shooting at Alnwick Castle

Enter our exclusive new draw today for your chance to win a superb day’s shooting for nine guns on this exceptional and historic Northumberland estate.

Alnwick Castle is the second largest inhabited castle in the country and has been owned by the Lords, Earls and Dukes of Northumberland for over 700 years. This magnificent fortress is surrounded by a glorious Capability Brown landscape which includes Hulne Park, a 3,600 acre walled deer park dating back to medieval times. This stunning, private park includes heather moorland and steep sided valleys with the river Aln winding its way through the centre of this beautiful, ancient, wooded countryside. The shoot, which is mainly withing Hulne Park, is high class and world renowned within the shooting world. With ideal topography, every drive provides challenging birds.

We are extremely grateful to the Duke of Northumberland for so generously donating this rarely available 250-bird pheasant day for a maximum of nine guns, worth over £20,000, to the Countryside Alliance. It will take place in December 2025 on a date to be arranged by mutual agreement, and the fortunate winner will experience exceptional sport in a beautiful and historic landscape with lunch provided in the Medieval Hulne Priory in the centre of the Park.

The tipping of loaders and the Head Keeper will be the responsibility of individual guns. Accommodation in the Estate’s new luxurious ‘Bailiffgate Hotel’, next to Alnwick Castle, or in other local establishments, can be booked by separate arrangement.
