We're Going on a Royal Dog Hunt starts today! Help to find King Henry VIII’s naughty dogs, who had a habit of running away along with other Royal dogs.

The ‘hunt’ will run throughout the holidays until Sunday 1 September. You are welcome to bring your own dogs to enjoy the dog hunt and all furry visitors will be given a treat once they complete it - along with their human companions!

As part of the hunt, visitors will also be given the challenge to find out the breed of Charles I’s dog, who it is believed spent time with him at Hurst Castle before his ex*****on in 1648.
