The Countryside Alliance Foundation Holkham Hall Estate Shoot Draw Rules

General Rules

This Draw is only open to residents of Great Britain and those residing in Northern Ireland over the age of 18 (this excludes Isle of Man, Channel Islands and BFPO addresses according to Gambling Act 2005 regulations).
No tickets can be sold to, on behalf of, or for a person under the age of 18 years. Underage gambling is an offence
The cost of each entry is £100. Players may purchase more than one entry, and payment must be in advance. An entry is not confirmed until the entrant has received an entry number or other confirmation from Raffle Player. Entrants are responsible for checking that their payment and entry have been successfully processed.
If a ticket is sold unknowingly to, on behalf of, or for a person under the age of 18 they will be exempt from the raffle and will forfeit their prize and the stake will be returned.
The Countryside Alliance Foundation directors, employees and their families are excluded from playing the Draw.
Funds raised through the Draw will help the Countryside Alliance Foundation continue its work, including the Campaign for Shooting.
The prize for the Draw is a 175-bird day for up to a maximum of ten guns at Holkham, North Norfolk, worth £17,500. The day is to be taken on a date to be mutually agreed by all parties in the 2027/28 season. There is no alternative to this prize.
The winner of the draw must ensure that all guns have a current insurance policy providing cover for not less than £10,000,000 in respect of accident, death, injury or damage to any third party, and public liability. All guns must also hold a current shotgun certificate/overseas visitors shotgun permit. Only cartridges with fibre/biodegradable wads will be permitted.
Entries may only be purchased online through the official Raffle Player website at Countryside Alliance Draw. The Countryside Alliance Foundation cannot accept entries or payments by telephone, post, cheque, bank transfer or any other payment method.
Each entrant has an equal chance of winning the prize.
The draw will be conducted by utilising a Random Number Generator that has been tested and approved by an independent, Gambling Commission approved, third party test house. The results of the draw are final.
Based on entries to the Countryside Alliance’s previous shoot day draw, a single ticket carried an average chance of winning of around 1 in 314.
Of the £31,400 raised in ticket sales from our last shoot day draw, just 19% went on expenses, meaning 81% came back to the Countryside Alliance to fund its work.
Entries must be received by Monday 14 December 2026.
Entries received after this deadline will not be entered into the Draw and will be treated as a donation to the Countryside Alliance Foundation.
The draw will be held on Wednesday 16 December 2026.
Winners will be notified by post, email or telephone no later than two weeks after the draw date. Please keep your ticket number as proof of purchase.
The winner will be published on https://www.raffleplayer.com/countrysidealliancedraw/winners within two weeks of the draw date. This will only be in summary, for example Mrs Smith from Berkshire.
Winners may be asked to take part in the Countryside Alliance Foundation PR and promotional activity.
If the prize is unclaimed after reasonable efforts have been made by the Countryside Alliance Foundation to contact the winner, then a reserve winner will be used. A reserve winner will be pulled at the time of the main draw. The winner has three calendar months after notification to claim the prize.
Where an entrant is selected as the winner but is subsequently found to be ineligible, has provided inaccurate information, cannot satisfy the prize requirements, or has breached these rules, the entry may be disqualified and the prize offered to the reserve winner. Except where required by law, the entry payment will not be refunded.
Except where required by law or expressly provided for in these rules, entry payments are non-refundable. Refunds will not be given where an entrant changes their mind, enters accidentally, is unavailable on the agreed shoot date, or subsequently decides that they or their guests cannot participate.
A refund may be issued where:
- a payment or entry has been duplicated because of a verified technical or administrative error;
- the Draw is cancelled and no replacement draw or suitable alternative arrangement is offered;
- the Foundation or Raffle Player determines that an entry cannot lawfully or properly be accepted; or a refund is otherwise required by law.
The Countryside Alliance Foundation policies for raffles can be found here. This includes our policy on responsible gambling, underage gambling, protection of customer funds and our complaints procedure
Due to legal reasons, all tickets sent to supporters in Northern Ireland must be purchased by the named individual and are not allowed to be sold on to family and friends or other individuals

Online entries

To enter the online raffle an entrant must self-certify that they are the required age to play. A confirmation email will be sent to the entrant confirming their numbers in the draw and thanking them for their participation. Random age verification checks are carried out at regular intervals. If an entrant is found to be under the required age their payment will be returned and they will not be entered into the draw.
Entries must not be bought on behalf of somebody else. The person named during the online purchase process will be treated as the entrant and, if their entry is selected, must satisfy all eligibility and verification requirements before receiving the prize.
In order to promote responsible gambling, it is recommended that no more than 30 chances are to be purchased per person for the Raffle.
Material changes to this raffle are not predicted to happen, but in the event that this occurs you will be notified by email 14 days in advance of any changes.
All online payments are processed through our external lottery manager, CFP Lottery and Raffles Ltd and its appointed payment provider.
The Countryside Alliance Foundation does not accept responsibility for incomplete or unsuccessful payment attempts, entries that are not received because of technical problems, or errors in information supplied by the entrant. This does not exclude liability that cannot legally be excluded.

Customer funds

We are required by our licence to inform customers about what happens to funds which we hold on account for you, and the extent to which funds are protected in the event of insolvency. The Gambling Commission provides further information on our licence conditions detailing what we need to tell customers about their funds.

For online entries, we hold customer funds separate from company funds. This means that steps have been taken to protect customer funds but there is no absolute guarantee that all funds will be repaid. This meets the Gambling Commission's requirements for the segregation of customer funds at the level: medium protection. For more information, please see the customer funds insolvency ratings system.
