Win a fabulous day’s shooting at Alnwick Castle

Enter now 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 within Hulne Park, is high class and world renowned within the shooting world. With ideal topography, every drive provides challenging birds.

The Duke of Northumberland has generously donated this rarely available 250-bird pheasant day for a maximum of nine guns, worth over £20,000, to the Countryside Alliance. 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. Accommodation in the Estate’s new luxurious ‘Bailiffgate Hotel’, next to Alnwick Castle, or in other local establishments, can be booked by separate arrangement.

Tickets for this fabulous day’s shooting, which will take place in December 2025 on a date to be arranged by mutual agreement, cost £100 each. The draw will close on Monday 16 December, and the winning ticket will be drawn on Wednesday 18 December 2024.
