There will be a small charge. All children must be accompanied by an adult during the have-a-go. Minimum age is 9.

You do not need to have any archery equipment as this will be provided on the day. However, you will need to wear suitable clothing. Aim to keep warm and dry by wearing two or three thin layers. Try and select clothing that is not too baggy, especially on the upper body and arms. Again, wear sensible shoes or boots. As we cannot guarantee good weather, bring something waterproof.
