History of the Glorious 12th
The Glorious 12th dates back to 1831 when the Game Act Legislation was passed in England. The Glorious 12th focuses on Grouse shooting as a sport, whereas there are other games that have various seasons. August 12th is a huge date for many in the shooting community as it marks the start of the 121 day season.
The Game Act was introduced to bring in more clarification on the laws surrounding Game Shooting, requiring licences as well as other aspects. During the Victorian era, shooting as a sport grew in popularity and as such The Glorious 12th continued to grow.
What can I do at the Glorious 12th?
The main focus of The Glorious 12th is to experience the world of shooting and hopefully bag yourself some birds while you’re at it. There are many varieties of Game to hunt, so make sure you spend ample time in the hills and fields.
The Glorious 12th happens over the course of 121 days and as such there are many places you can stay. It is uncommon for people to spend the full season up North, so most decide to travel to and from on the days that suit them best.
Spend some time to track down the best B&Bs, hotels, or even rent a house for your vacation. Visit the local restaurants the north of the UK has to offer and enjoy the rolling hills and natural landscapes. Just because the Glorious 12th is about shooting, doesn’t mean you can’t explore other offerings.
