Imagine living the life of the English gentry for a day, pursuing the sport of kings and queens throughout the generations: the Humphreys team will make it happen for you.
You will be welcomed to one of our stunning English country estates, with the exclusive use of a woodland shooting lounge, or the manor house for elevenses, lunch and afternoon tea. Whether you want to fine tune your shooting skills or discover the enjoyment of handling a shotgun and breaking clays, the sense of achievement at the end of the experience will be yours to take away.
Your Experience can include:
If you choose to take in a full day on a country estate, we can curate the ultimate day of country activities and sports as the English aristocracy do.
During the morning you will receive expert tuition using multiple clay traps and after a decadent lunch, prepared by a private chef, you can experience the thrill of a simulated shoot. This is as close to a game shoot as you can find - challenging your eye, direction and speed of response! We would then arrange an additional activity and estate tour in the afternoon to learn about how the shooting season is organised, the running of the estate and a defender ride across some of the most beautiful English countryside. Humphreys recommends adding a birds of prey experience to round out a fabulous day at an English country estate - fit for true aristocracy!
