Glorious Twelfth
August 12, Monday
The Glorious Twelfth is a holiday that is celebrated every year on August 12. The day marks the beginning of the shooting season for red grouse and It is considered to be one of the busiest days in the shooting season.
Since English law prohibits game bird shooting on a Sunday, the start date is postponed to 13 August on years when the 12th falls on a Sunday.
