The Hunt
The first pack of hounds consisted of a small draft from the High Peak Hunt as well hounds from the Royal Artillery Drag Hunt which was disbanding at the time.

We now carry out our own breeding policy and our current pack of English Foxhounds has been bred almost exclusively in our own kennels. The breeding of English Foxhounds has been documented for many years and the pedigree of each hound can be traced back to before 1800.

The hounds are kept in kennels in Woodseats Lane, Charlesworth.

Our hunting season is from early September to the end of the following March. We generally hunt every Saturday in these months with extra meets on Boxing Day and New Years Day.

We hunt over land occupied by over 250 farmers in an area bounded by Rochdale in the North, Leek in the South and Knutsford in the West.

Day Hunts: Saturdays 1pm

Subscription: £350 - exclusive of cap of £10 per meet.

Guests: £30 adults, £25 Juniors
