Flaming arrows - Finish your experience by shooting real fire arrows! It’s as awesome as it sounds. We’ve offered this unique experience for more than a decade. You’ll shoot in a safe area, under the guidance of our coaches.
Longbow upgrade - Tried archery before? Why not shake things up a bit and swap the standard modern recurve out for a real English longbow, the weapon of archers from Robin Hood to Henry VIII? Bookable for some or all of your group.

“Great session today with Mark! Just my partner and I doing the two hour archery session and the time flew by. It was great to have the variation in the field and the forest. Mark’s instruction was clear and relaxed, which makes it easy to learn as does a lot of laughter! Will be coming back to try other things too! Thank you!”
