Enfield Chace Hunt, Boxing Day
Enfield Chace Hunt, Boxing Day
Brickendon Green was the venue for the traditional Boxing Day Meet of the Enfield Chace Hunt for several years until 1982. The hunt was so popular that two top London hotels offered coach trips out to Brickendon on Boxing Day. A local history book notes that one year over 140 riders participated. In my youth a visit to Brickendon on Boxing Day was seen as an essential ingredient of the Christmas season. One year floods stopped us making the event!
