One of the biggest free prizes in the fieldsports calendar this year has just opened for entries. William Powell Sporting’s Ultimate Fieldsports Giveaway 2026 will send one winner to Spain for two days’ driven partridge at the El Crespo Estate in La Mancha, a package the sporting agency values at €6,500, and entering costs nothing. For the multi-discipline crowd who plan their year around days out, shows and the odd shot at something special, this is one to put a name against before the winter.

What is the prize?

The winner shoots on 10 and 11 February 2027 as part of the Offbeat Syndicate team, with a personal allocation of 100 birds across the two days. The redlegs at El Crespo are shown high and fast over pegs set among the holm oaks of the La Mancha hills, and the package includes two nights’ accommodation at the estate along with hospitality, cartridges and licences.

Why does it catch the show community’s eye?

Experience prizes on this scale are rare in the fieldsports calendar, and free ones are rarer still. A €6,500 driven package sits at the aspirational end of most shooting diaries, the sort of trip that gets talked about at a show stand rather than booked on the spot, which is exactly why a free draw for one travels so well through the community. Matt Kidd’s photographs from the estate, published with the announcement, do a good deal of the persuading: drives working through the holm oaks, a gun and loader in their rhythm on the peg, and the lodge holding the last of the light above the plains. The dates are set far enough ahead for the winner to plan a proper trip around them.

How does the giveaway work?

Entry is free and made online at the William Powell Sporting website. Entries close on Friday 11 December 2026 and the winner is drawn the following Monday, 14 December, leaving nearly two months before the days are shot. There is no purchase attached and no charge at any stage; the draw is free from start to finish. The competition also runs in Shooting Times.

What happens next

Entries are open now and run until 11 December. The full announcement, with Matt Kidd’s photographs of the drives, the lodge and the La Mancha hills, is on ShootingUK, and it is well worth the look before you enter: the full story is at ShootingUK’s report on the giveaway, linked below.
