The Master and Committee of the Northern Hunt Club cordially invite you to the ANNUAL CLARENDON HOUSE FEATURE HUNT at Clarendon House, Evandale.

Do you love the idea of hunting, and would love to experience the traditions and excitement?  Have you ever wanted to try hunting, but unsure about fitness and/or pace?

We have designed a showcase hunt opportunity with a little glam and special catering!

Come along dressed to the nines to partake of history in the making as we reenact a historic hunting photo in front of the majestic Clarendon House.  Meet our hound pack as you gather for a glass of mulled or sparkling wine and refreshments with the grand homestead as our backdrop.  Then experience a taste of hunting at a slower pace and shorter distance with the opportunity to opt for slow laps only or continue on at a more traditional hunt speed.  

This is a chance for past and present members plus spectators and the general public to attend and enjoy the spectacle of our new feature hunt, tour the gardens, grab a warming coffee and perhaps avail of a tour of the grand old house.
