Eaton Hall Shooting Ground is a Premier Plus CPSA-rated facility nestled within 80 acres of the picturesque Derbyshire countryside. Following a massive transformation and rebranding in 2025 under the new ownership of Syd, Amy, Sam, and Clive, the location has evolved into a state-of-the-art, world-class destination. The standout feature of the ground is its seamless integration of high-end shooting technology with luxury amenities, headlined by a spectacular 20,000-square-foot clubhouse that serves as a premium hub for all visitors.
The venue caters to a highly diverse audience, making it an ideal destination for various groups. Absolute beginners can enjoy safe, all-inclusive "Have a Go" sessions, while elite professional athletes and hunters can refine their skills on Olympic-standard layouts and high-altitude towers. Furthermore, the impressive meeting rooms, corporate suites, and fully catered dining options create a perfect environment for corporate teams and team-building events, while the fully tarmac paths and welcoming atmosphere ensure that families and non-shooting guests have a comfortable, inclusive country club experience.
A dense calendar of events and competitions keeps the ground vibrant year-round, accommodating both regional leagues and national mega-tournaments. The pinnacle of these events is the highly anticipated "TopGun" tournament scheduled for June 2026, which boasts a record-breaking £400,000 prize pool and an inclusive structure designed to attract shooters of all levels and categories. Alongside TopGun, the ground frequently hosts the Winter Series, collegiate BUCS Championships, and specialized regional CPSA events.
The facility is heavily equipped with cutting-edge infrastructure and a massive variety of shooting disciplines:
Clay & Rifle Disciplines: Over 20 clay layouts including English Sporting (with 15+ stands in "The Valley"), Olympic Skeet, Down the Line, and a double-decker Compak Sporting house, alongside a 300-metre full-bore rifle tunnel and a 50-metre.22 Rimfire range.
Advanced Equipment: Fully automated Promatic and Laporte traps paired with the Claymate telemetric system, allowing licensed shooters to practice solo with delayed voice activation.
Unique Features: Europe's exclusive "Running Boar" layout, 150-foot High Towers simulating extreme bird flights, and specialized floodlit areas for late-night shooting.
Premium Amenities: The Eaton Hall Café featuring in-house chefs, The Gun Room offering top-tier firearms and a "try before you buy" service, and The Clothing Room stocked with luxury country brands.
The natural topography of Derbyshire heavily influences the shooting experience, providing a mix of deep valleys that protect against wind and high banks that create visually challenging target trajectories. Training is highly prioritized at the ground, with a dedicated academy offering everything from fundamental safety instruction for novices to advanced CPSA Coach Development and First Aid courses. The combination of varied terrain, professional instruction, and all-weather tarmac accessibility guarantees a premium experience regardless of the climate.

Consumable costs are competitive, with clays priced from 38p for non-members down to 30p for bulk member purchases, and a comprehensive beginner's "Have a Go" package available for £45.
