Hunts from Dartmoor to Berwickshire are welcoming new faces during the Countryside Alliance’s (CA) annual Hunting Newcomers’ Week
The week, designed to encourage riders to try hunting kicks off on Saturday (18 October) and finishes the following week (25 October).
CA’s Newcomers’ Week organiser Henrietta Rutgers said she’s had “a huge number” of enquiries from people wanting to get more information about their local packs.
“Despite the ban hunting is as popular as ever and people are keen to show their solidarity with their local hunts,” she said.
