Big Shots Celebrates 30th Anniversary This Summer


Big Shots, the furnishing industry’s favourite clay pigeon shoot in aid of industry charity The Furniture Makers’ Company, is celebrating its 30th anniversary this summer.


The milestone fundraiser will once again be held at Holland and Holland, Middlesex – one of the UK’s premier shooting destinations – on Wednesday 11 June 2025.


Kicking off with a hearty breakfast, the fun-filled 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 stunning open countryside.


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


Now in its 30th year, 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.


The event is proudly sponsored by Furniture Village, which has supported the fundraiser for many years, with managing director Charlie Harrison once again helping to organise the day.


Charlie Harrison, managing director at Furniture Village, said:

“We’re incredibly proud to be the main sponsor of Big Shots again this year – especially as it celebrates its 30th anniversary. It’s always a great day out, and the fact that it supports such a meaningful cause makes it even more special. We’re looking forward to seeing both new and familiar faces at Holland and Holland in June.”

Jonny Westbrooke, CEO of The Furniture Makers’ Company, said:

“Reaching 30 years is a fantastic achievement for Big Shots, and it is testament to the ongoing generosity and camaraderie of the furnishing industry. 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 celebrate this landmark year with our guests.”
