Whatton Estate Simulated

Guests are welcomed with coffee and a hot breakfast on arrival before the day begins with a safety briefing. Throughout the simulated shoot, drinks are served in the field and guests enjoy a delicious picnic-style lunch made from locally sourced produce, prepared by the estate’s chefs and served by the in-house hospitality team. Depending on the package, the day concludes with either a final drink and refreshments or a two-course seated meal with wine. Guests are also looked after by a dedicated host and transported between drives in the estate’s traditional gun bus, ensuring a relaxed and enjoyable experience from arrival to departure.

Guns can expect an exciting and well-organised simulated game day designed to mirror the format and thrill of a traditional shoot day. The experience includes several varied drives set across rolling parkland, woodland, and hedgerows, creating challenging high “pheasant-style” and fast “partridge-style” targets. Guests are transported between drives in a traditional gun bus and guided by an experienced team who ensure everything runs smoothly throughout the day. Alongside the shooting, Guns can enjoy excellent hospitality, with food and drinks served at intervals and a relaxed, social atmosphere that makes the day suitable for both seasoned shots and those newer to the sport.

The landscape around Whatton House is characterised by rolling parkland set on elevated ground overlooking the surrounding countryside. The estate sits on a high bluff with expansive views east across the River Soar valley and south toward the valley of Long Whatton Brook. From the house and terraces, the land falls away into gently sloping pasture and parkland, with mature trees, woodland belts, and open fields creating a varied but flowing landscape. The wider estate includes areas of rolling grassland, arable farmland, and woodland, which together form a traditional English parkland setting with long views across the valleys and surrounding countryside.

Guns and Cartridges are available and this needs to be arranged prior to the day.
