Welcome to the

Princess Anne Hunt website.


On our site you will find information about the history of our Hunt, the beautiful and historic fixtures that we have the privilege to hunt on and newsletters packed full of information on the activities of the hunt. You will also find a calendar with upcoming events and fixture times and locations during season. Under the calendar and events section of the site we have recently added a photo album with photographs from many of our recent events


Princess Anne Hunt became a recognized hunt in 1937. Like many other hunts during the course of the following years, Princess Anne Hunt has gone through periods of dormancy then establishment, and our location have also changed due to encroaching development. Today, through kindness and generosity of our landowners, Princess Anne Hunt is privileged to hunt in Charles City County, along the James River, its beautiful plantations and surrounding historical farmlands in addition to James City, New Kent, Surry, Henrico, Hanover and Prince George, counties.

We maintain, through the continual dedication of our Master and the watchful eye of the Huntsman, a pack of Cross-bred Foxhounds kenneled in Charles City County.

Hunting season begins the last Saturday in October at Opening Meet with the traditional Blessing of the Hounds, and concludes in early March.

Stirrup Cup, and Hunt Breakfast are an integral part of our meets. Three flights: first flight, second flight (a slightly slower pace) and a mounted hill topper flight, on designated hunts (walk, trot).
