Shoot Parties

The Knowsley Estate offers quality driven pheasant and partridge shooting over 2,000 acres of traditional parkland. Shoots take place in October, November, December and January, with days from 175 to 300 birds.

The parkland offers a range of drives from mixed management woodlands to strategically sited game crops, providing the guns with a varied and satisfying days sport. We can offer a day shoot, with the guns arriving in the morning, or alternatively guests can opt for a residential shoot, where the guns arrive the evening prior to the days shooting.

Occasionally we are able to offer mini-driven days - please contact us for more information as these are subject to availability.
