Stokesay Shoot is a long-established driven game shoot set in the scenic Ludlow Valley in south Shropshire.
Known for offering enjoyable and traditional driven pheasant (and often partridge) sport, it has become a favourite among Guns seeking a friendly, well-run day in the field. The shoot operates across varied Shropshire countryside, with drives laid out over a mix of agricultural land, hedgerows and classic cover crops.
Its location near the historic village of Stokesay provides a beautiful rural setting, making it a popular choice for teams, groups or individual Guns looking for classic English game shooting.
Whether you’re planning a full team day or joining as an individual on a scheduled date, Stokesay Shoot delivers sporting driven birds in a welcoming environment.
On arrival, Guns are welcomed by the shoot host with refreshments before the morning briefing and drawing of pegs. The party then moves off to the first drive, either on foot or using estate transport depending on the layout of the day.
A typical day consists of several driven shoots spaced throughout the morning and afternoon, with elevenses taken in the field between drives. A lunch break provides an opportunity to relax, warm up and reflect on the morning’s sport before heading out for the afternoon drives.
The final drives of the day complete the required bag, after which the party returns for refreshments and to review the day’s highlights before departure.
Hospitality at Stokesay Shoot is warm, straightforward and in keeping with a traditional Shropshire shoot day. Refreshments are provided on arrival, followed by elevenses in the field and a well-timed lunch during the day to ensure Guns remain comfortable and well catered for throughout.
The emphasis is on creating an enjoyable and sociable atmosphere alongside quality sport. Many visiting Guns also take advantage of the excellent local pubs and inns in and around Ludlow, adding to what makes a day at Stokesay Shoot a thoroughly enjoyable countryside experience.
