Unleash the Excitement: Black Powder Shooting and Cannon Firing Stag Parties at our country estate

Welcome to Hard Days Knight’s private country estate, the ultimate destination for traditional country sports in the beautiful Derbyshire countryside. Are you ready to take a step back in time and embrace the thrill of black powder clay shooting? Prepare for a stag party experience like no other!

Before the invention of smokeless cartridges, black powder was the go-to propellant for shotguns. And now, we’re bringing back that classic shooting experience. But don’t worry, you won’t need tweed jackets or deerstalker hats to participate. This is a totally unique activity that will transport you to a bygone era.

Imagine yourself standing on our picturesque estate grounds, surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of Derbyshire. Feel the weight of a traditional black powder shotgun in your hands as you learn the art of muzzle loading and firing. The air fills with clouds of gun smoke, creating an atmosphere that not only enhances the experience but also makes for incredible photo opportunities.

With 20 shots each, including 15 breech (cartridge) loads and 5 traditional muzzle loads, you’ll have plenty of chances to test your skills. Take aim from four different shooting stands and witness the exhilaration of smashing clays the old-fashioned way. This is clay pigeon shooting at its finest.

For those who crave an extra level of excitement, we have something truly extraordinary. Imagine the thunderous boom of a real, live 1/6th scale cannon from the legendary HMS Victory. Step up to the challenge as each team gets the opportunity to fire the cannon two to three times.

Loaded with grapeshot .577 musket balls (around a dozen per charge), your objective is simple – hit the target closest to the French flagship. Get ready to make history and show off your marksmanship skills.

At Hard Days Knight, we take pride in providing a stag party experience that’s second to none. With our black powder clay shooting and cannon firing activities, you’ll immerse yourself in the rich traditions of country sports while enjoying the breathtaking landscapes of Derbyshire.

It’s time to make your stag party unforgettable. Book your adventure today and get ready for an explosive and exhilarating experience that will exceed all expectations. BOOOOM! Clay pigeon shooting has never been this thrilling.

All the fun with no drama

We had such a good stag do with Hard Days Knight in the Peak District, and I honestly can’t recommend them enough! From the start, they organised everything down to a tee, making it a weekend none of us will forget. The accommodation was good, comfortably fitting our group and perfectly located for everything on the itinerary. One of the absolute highlights was the Hunted activity - a mix of orienteering with a twist where you’re actually being chased! It was such a laugh and brought out everyone's competitive side, with a good bit of adrenaline thrown in. A massive thank you to Greg in particular, whose communication was faultless. He kept us updated every step of the way, answered all our questions, and went out of his way to make sure everything went smoothly. His local knowledge and enthusiasm really added to the experience and made us feel like we were in safe hands. If you're planning a stag do and want a unique, well-organised experience in the Peaks, Hard Days Knight is the way to go. Cheers to Greg and the team for a brilliant weekend - we’re still talking about it!

My brother's stag do was nothing short of amazing. We've had a myriad of activities to choose from in a wonderful location. Sadly, the Best Man, who paid the deposit for the country house we stayed in, had some disputes with the property owner, who withheld the deposit claiming damages (which were previously there). Once Hard Days Knight was informed, Greg immediately stepped in to refund our deposit out of pocket, so that he can help handle and mediate. This immediately shows us that Greg prioritises keeping our Stag Do a happy memory, and it's very much appreciated.

We had an excellent time on our brother’s stag that we organised with Greg. Cannot fault the experience, Greg was extremely helpful and efficient with putting together a great weekend in a fairly short period of time. The accommodation suggested worked out perfectly, especially with the attached pool, hot tub and games room which were an added bonus. The activities lived up to our expectations and again were well organised and timings made the whole weekend work without any issues. Everyone had a lot of fun and I would highly recommend going with HDK for any stag/ hen-do.
