Stag and hen parties

Marriage is the next great adventure

Want a stag, hen or sten do that’s failsafe, fun and totally unique? Book a brilliant day out at White Dragon!

Mix-and-match thrills

Archery, axe throwing, airsoft target shooting, woodland survival, swordplay, campfire chillouts and team games. Build the lineup that fits your crew.

Two epic settings

Maraud in the castle-themed barn with range, medieval-style snug and hot-drink station.

Or be let loose on five acres of woodland & meadow with 3D field archery, axe lanes and a parachute-sheltered bushcraft camp

All-weather fun

Most activities can run indoors or outdoors. Survival and bushcraft stay in the woods, but there’s shelter from the elements.

Private vibe

The centre is secluded and peaceful, away from road noise. There’ll be nobody booked in with you. Your group, your party, no walk-ins watching!

Mobile option

Want us to come to you? We can bring archery, airguns or axe throwing to any venue that meets our safety spec.

Make it a big day out

We’re close to some brilliant pubs, campsites, paddlable rivers and other things to do. This is a stunning patch of countryside, but close to the towns of Sudbury and Colchester, and there’s a railway station a short walk away.

Choose your adventure

  • Sixteen men grinning at an indoor shooting range painted to look like a castle. One has a T-shirt with a woman's face and the words 'I love this woman' on it. He is holding a foam shield in front of his hips

    Archery

    Choose to shoot modern recurve bows or medieval-style longbows. Your coach will teach you the basics before you move on to wacky swinging skulls, cheeky 3D goblins and other fun targets for bragworthy selfies.

    Our coaches know how to make even total newbies shoot confidently and safely - and you don’t have to be strong. Suitable for ages 10 to 90+.

  • Man with red hair and green checked shirt aiming an air pistol at a target down an indoor range

    Airguns

    Not your standard boring rifle range!

    You’ll get to try a host of Airsoft replica guns, from pistols through to semi-automatic burst fire. Reactive targets and exciting challenges light up your competitive side.

    Whether you’ve shot before or not, you’ll soon be whooping, cheering and celebrating your new skills!

  • Wooden axe throwing target marked with score numbers

    Axes

    Lightweight throwing axes and increasingly tricky challenges!

    Start with getting the hang of spinning your axe to stick in the target, then move onto splitting playing cards and more!

    Planning a wedding is a LOT and this is a truly epic way to get some stress relief before the big day.

  • Two women smiling inside a shelter made from trees, rope and tarpaulins

    Survival

    Discover your inner survivor!

    Spark a fire with flint & steel, build a quick and effective shelter and toast up some delicious s’mores on the flames. No offputting macho vibes in our survival sessions, just plenty of laughs.

    You’ll be with an experienced bushcraft instructor who knows the ways of the wild.

  • Red-haired man dressed in a cloak and waistcoat choosing a LARP sword from a stack offered by a lady

    Swordfighting

    Yes, you read that right! Learn real swordfighting moves with your friends and family. The kind medieval fighters would actually have used.

    Of course, we want everyone to be fit and ready for the big wedding - so the swords aren’t sharp. They’re made from realistic-looking, live-action roleplay foam. Safe, but with all the feel of the real thing.

    Before you get hitched, learn to parry a thrust and earn your partner’s everlasting respect (and maybe a little bit of fear).

  • Bride, groom and friends sitting around a campfire at night-time, talking and eating

    Campfire Chillout

    Wind down around the firepit with marshmallows, crackling flames and complimentary tea/coffee—perfect reset between action blocks or to wrap up the day.
