Big Shots returns for 31st year

Big Shots, the principal furnishing industry clay pigeon shoot in aid of industry charity The Furniture Makers’ Company, is returning for its 31st year this summer.

The fundraiser, which is sponsored by Furniture Village, will once again be held at Holland and Holland, Middlesex – one of the UK’s premier shooting destinations – on Wednesday 10th June 2026.

Kicking off with breakfast, the day will begin with a safety briefing before the traditional cannon signals the start of the 100-bird shooting competition. Teams will make their way around 10 stands spread across 60 acres of open countryside.

Alongside the main competition, guests can look forward to some novelty stands, including flash clays and an eight-straight stand. After the shoot, a three-course lunch with wine will be served, followed by prize-giving, charity raffle and auction.

As ever, Big Shots provides plenty of opportunities to raise funds for The Furniture Makers’ Company, which supports people in the trade facing hardship and champions new talent entering the industry.

Jonny Westbrooke, CEO of The Furniture Makers’ Company, says: “Big Shots is a brilliant day out for experienced and novice shooters alike – ideal for entertaining clients or suppliers, team-building with colleagues, or simply enjoying a unique experience with friends. We’re immensely grateful to Furniture Village for their continued sponsorship and support. The funds raised help us continue our vital work and we can’t wait to welcome our guests.”
