The Field

Dec 01 2021
Magazine

Published by Time Inc. (UK) Ltd The Field is a monthly glossy magazine dedicated to those brave souls who shoot, fish and hunt way beyond the call of duty. Since 1853, its staff has selflessly brought its readers the cream of rural life, be it pheasant shooting, dry-fly fishing or the distinct merits of Cheval Blanc. If you love field sports, errant terriers and very foxy friends at hunt balls, The Field is for you.

THE FIELD

Time to celebrate our legacy • Country sports are ingrained in our festive traditions, says Editor Alexandra Henton, from stags on Christmas cards to the Boxing Day meet. We would be poorer without them

Field in focus

BRIEFING

SPORTING WAGERS King George VI Chase • 26 DECEMBER 2021 KEMPTON PARK RACECOURSE, SURREY

Kit to covert • Our monthly guide to everything notable in the field for sporting enthusiasts and those keen on country life

Festive larder • ’Tis the season to treat oneself, so here are a few Field favourites to help fuel the forthcoming celebrations

Letters

All very wellness • Wellness real estate is now all the rage, finds Rupert Bates, but is this about clean air or just hot air? And will there be a medium-rare steak within walking distance?

Country estate of the month

Six of the best: Cumbria

Talking turkey – or not • There’ll be no anaemic supermarket bird gracing Neil and Serena Cross’s table this Christmas Day, their thoughts turning to wild game – but why stop at one?

SUBSCRIBE TO THE FIELD FROM ONLY £22.75* • Each issue £5.75 £3.80*

Newton Mulgrave North Yorkshire • Before Covid confined us all to barracks last December, one lucky group of Guns enjoyed a testing partridge day near Whitby

The Buchan-eers • An unseasonably hot, still September day on Harris wasn’t ideal for a Macnab attempt. Could good fieldcraft overcome the conditions?

MACADMIN • In the armed forces they call it ‘admin’ and it’s vital when preparing for your Macnab mission.

The gun with the gossip • Provenance is everything at auction – which made this small, bar-in-wood Purdey hammergun a big attraction

The judges’ decision… • Please raise a glass to The Field Gundog Award winners for 2021

THE FIELD GUNDOG AWARDS 2021 WINNERS

Changing beats on Lower Spey • A once-in-a-generation change is happening to seven beats in time for the 2022 season. Is now the time to net a spot on the bank?

Boxing clever • The Christmas box is more than just a gift, which is why everyone should give as generously as they can this festive season – or risk going down in hunting history for all the wrong reasons

Snow, snow, quick, quick… • Skijoring is a thrilling combination of skiing and racing – why not give it a go this winter?

HOW TO SKIJOR

A Yule log to bring light • Many of Britain’s favourite Christmas traditions, from burning a yule log to kissing under the mistletoe, date back to ancient history

Feathers and festivity • How did the turkey end up on our tables or a partridge in a pear tree? Birds play an interesting part in our festive traditions

All in good time • Classic pieces to take you from the field to festive cocktail hour

Dress to impress • Bring a hint of the field to festive dinners with our pick of cufflinks, scarves and pocket squares for sporting men

Time to shine • Crank up the glitz and glamour for after-dark Christmas celebrations

The creation of Father Christmas • Folklore, religion and revelry have combined over the centuries to create the festive figure so central to our celebrations today

Shake, rattle and pour • To ensure your festive season goes with a swing, here’s our menu for the Twelve Cocktails of Christmas – all easy...
