Father's Day is one week today. Here's a gift idea with a bit more bite 🎯

Our WILD experiences at Wild Boar Estate get him out into 72 acres of private Lake District woodland for clay shooting, axe throwing or archery, with our resident experts from Coates Activities on hand whether he's a complete beginner or fancies himself a natural.

Or send him on a jaw-dropping hawk walk with Lake District Falconry

Gift vouchers can be delivered by email or in gift packaging with a personal message, so there's still plenty of time.

Settle it in the comments: would your dad pick clays, axes, arrows or a stroll with a majestic bird or prey? 👇

What's better than an ice cold beer in the sunshine?

An ice cold beer in the sunshine, brewed just yards from where you're sat, with a view like this behind it.

Our Crookweiser is made in small batches by Lukasz in The Brewhouse at Wild Boar Estate. Crisp, golden, properly cold, and best enjoyed slowly on an afternoon you're not in a hurry to end.

🐝🌼 Happy World Bee Day from Wild Boar Estate 🌼🐝

Hidden amongst our private woodland, our thriving beehives are hard at work helping nature flourish across our 72-acre estate. From pollinating wildflowers and woodland glades to producing delicious Cumbrian honey for our guests to enjoy, these tiny workers play a huge role in the life of the estate.

At the height of summer, each hive can hold up to 60,000 bees, all contributing to the wellbeing of the colony and the surrounding countryside. 🍯✨

Our team has been learning the art of beekeeping alongside experienced apiarist Jackie Kerr, caring for the hives through every season and supporting vital pollinators in the heart of the Lake District.

And the sweetest part? Our estate honey is now served at breakfast, available for guests to take home, and even features in our small-batch mead from our microbrewery. 🍺🍯

Today, we’re celebrating the bees that keep our countryside buzzing. 💛
