Easton Harriers

The Eason Harriers Hunt originated in the late 1800s when William, the 12th Duke of Hamilton, invested in a pack of hounds, new kennels and huntsmen.  The hounds attracted some of the best riders of the time.  Following his death the hunt was sold and moved to a number of locations before returning to Easton in 1925.

Gun Dog Scurry

Bring your dog to have some fun or watch other dogs trying to retrieve the dummy from the lake.

Children’s Activity Area

Children’s activities include: ‘bungey trampolining’, a bouncy castle and an inflatable slide.
