The trial of three Ledbury Hunt members who stormed the House of Commons during last autumn's hunting debate has been set for March 29.
Professional huntsman John Holliday, former kennel huntsman Andrew Elliott and hunt supporter David Redvers will appear at Bow Street Magistrates' Court with five other men, all charged with disorderly behaviour.
All eight pleaded not guilty at a hearing on December 21.
The trial date was set at a case review in Bow Street Magistrates' Court on Tuesday (January 18). The defendants were not required to attend but have now seen the witness statements, including some taken from MPs.
