WELCOME TO KEDLESTON ESTATE SHOOT

Based in the beautiful Derbyshire countryside, Kedleston Estate is home to high-quality pheasant and partridge shoots with plenty of wooded areas, and well placed game covers for an exciting and challenging sport.

ABOUT

Rich & Henry

Since young teenagers we've always been heavily involved with the sport. Through years of love and experience, we decided it was time to set ourselves the challenge of running our own shoot. Seven years on, we looked to extend our passion by taking on Kedleston Estate Shoot.

We rear our own birds, pride ourselves in our hospitality, and have never lost our passion from all those years ago. Find out more here.

​

Being experts in the local area, we also know the best places to stay during your visit (along with a few recommendations for the best food!)

OUR TEAM

In a relatively short period the Jones brothers have brought together an exciting team to ensure the smooth and efficient running of your shoot day. 

​

As most guns know there is a small army of people who are often never seen but can be on occasions be heard in the woods and cover crops, they are The Beating Team. 

​

Look behind you when in the gun line and you will see the Picking Up Team.

​

Rich and Henry do all they can to ensure the shoot has on-hand the best and brightest team in the field, who share their willingness to do things differently and to re-establish Kedleston Estate Shoot as one of the premier shoots in the region.

As an experienced clay shot but a novice game shot at my first driven day Henry's calming words of wisdom and sense of humour were invaluable.

It was an honour to join you at Kedleston. I enjoyed the day immensely, especially the 1st drive on No.4 peg. I hope you have many more good days this season as you ran this day splendidly!'
