Get ready to shoot your shot

The Furniture Makers’ Company, the City of London livery company and charity for the furnishing industry, is excited to announce the return of its annual clay pigeon shoot, Northern Big Shots.

The popular fundraiser is set to take place on Thursday 17 October 2024 at the beautiful Catton Hall Shooting & Sporting Grounds, a first-class venue in the heart of Cheshire’s rolling countryside.

Guests will be welcomed with breakfast to start the day. The competition will consist of an 80 Bird Sporting Shoot, where guests of all abilities can test their skills as a crack shot. After the shoot, attendees will enjoy a delicious three-course lunch, providing an excellent opportunity to network and unwind, followed by the competition prizegiving.

Jonny Westbrooke, CEO of The Furniture Makers’ Company, said: “Join us once again for an action-packed day at the annual Northern Big Shots fundraiser. The competition is open to all abilities, even if you have never handled a gun before. Bring your customers, suppliers and your friends. In addition to having fun, you’ll also be helping to raise valuable funds for your industry charity, enabling us to do even more to educate the workforce of the future and provide support to those in need. We will be delighted to have your support and look forward to welcoming you.”

Individual shooters (£240 inc VAT) and teams of four (£960 inc VAT) are both welcome.

There are still opportunities for sponsorship, offering businesses a unique chance to gain visibility and support a worthy cause. Those interested in sponsoring the event or entering a team are encouraged to contact Jessica Land: jessica@furnituremakers.org.uk.
