Nail a new hobby

Level up your archery skills

Sick of the same old thing every weekend? Feeling stuck and need a new hobby? Archery is the best. It’s chilled out, it’s full of really nice people, and it gives you an amazing sense of achievement as you progress. Oh, and you look really cool doing it.

We teach adults and kids from all over Essex and Suffolk the art of the traditional English longbow. All kit is provided at the centre in Bures - you just need to book and show up for any ten Wednesdays or Sundays in a year.

Prefer modern target sports? Things that go bang?
White Dragon is already the target sports adventure hub of East Anglia, and we’re about to launch a brand-new airgun club. Let us know if you’d be interested in joining, and we’ll contact you very soon.
