Tumblers Club

TUMBLERS

CLUB

Tumblers Club is back for 24/25 season. Can you beat the bog-snorkling shown above? The Club is ready and waiting to take your tenner in the name of charity. Remember, where there's mud there's brass (yours, please). If you do happen upon an empty saddle this season please let Izzy know so your entry can be submitted for the end-of-season awards, and make your £10 payment which will go to Air Ambulance at the end of the season. Spotters: keep your eyes peeled.
Please visit here, select 'Tumblers', put the tumbler's name (you?) in the Short Description box and then pay.





OPENING TIME in 1912...

There are lots of photos of the traditional opening meet at Kirby Gate, but if you want to see a unique short film of what the meet was like in 1912 when Captain Frank Forester was MFH and George Leaf was huntsman, click here.

QH Hunter hat The QH® Hunter hats that were made specially for us by Charles Owen (and illustrated opposite) are now no longer available. If you need a new hat, we recommend Charles Owen's 'Fian' hat that has a similar but not identical design.

The Quorn Hunt was founded in 1696 and takes its name from the Leicestershire village of Quorn* where the hounds were kenneled from 1753 until 1904. The Quorn Hunt is one of the best known hunts in England and extends a warm welcome to many visitors from both the UK and internationally. The Quorn hunts within the restrictions of the Hunting Act 2004.

* it was originally spelt Quorndon, but its name was truncated in 1889 to avoid confusion with the Derbyshire village of Quarndon which is near Kedleston Hall
