The Holcombe Hunt, a centuries-old tradition, occurred despite plans to ban trail hunting in early 2026 over welfare and safety concerns.
The Holcombe Hunt, a New Year’s Day tradition dating to 1086, took place in Wheelton, Lancashire, with riders gathering at The Red Lion pub and departing around 12:10 p.m. for trail hunting.
Organizers expect several hundred attendees and reaffirmed that trail hunting is a legal, regulated activity.
The event occurs amid government plans to end the practice in early 2026 due to animal welfare and public safety concerns, including risks to wildlife and potential misuse.
Despite this, the hunt’s leadership maintains it is a legitimate rural tradition and will challenge any ban.
