The Coakham Bloodhounds are one of the oldest Bloodhound packs in the UK, and they hunt over a wide area in Kent and Sussex. They have been hunting "the cleanboot" since they were founded in the 1970s.  This means the hounds follow the natural scent of human runners who set off ahead of the pack - no other scent is used (whether animal or synthetic) and there is no killing involved - the runners just get licked at the end of each hunt.

Due to the absence of key hunt staff, we will be running this as a hunt ride instead of hunting the hounds.

We will be out for a couple of hours, going at a hunting pace and there will be optional jumping. It will be just as much fun as normal puppy hunting, we just won’t be following the hounds. We will be providing plenty of the famous Coakham bubbles and you won’t be missing out on hound cuddles either because Viv will be bringing them along to say hello! And then, if you need any more enticement to attend, we will finish off with one of Libby’s lovely lunches, all included in the price, which is the normal puppy hunt cost.

Booking: via the Coakham Bloodhounds App (on Google Play & App Store) or booking link below:
