Hundreds still turned out to see the Fitzwilliam Hunt on New Year’s Day in Wansford despite the traditional hunt not taking place.
It is not customary to hunt on a Sunday in the UK and due to that being the day New Year’s Day fell on in 2023, the riders simply paraded briefly through the village with their hounds, heading out as far as Wansford Bridge before turning around.
