The basics

Accessibility

Archery takes place on both grass and hard standing, and we do our best to make it an activity that is accessible. Please do let us know if there are any reasonable adjustments we can make. There is a Tramper (powered mobility vehicle) and all terrain wheelchair available to hire (advise to pre-book Tramper and wheelchair hire by emailing godolphin@nationaltrust.org.uk).

Meeting point

Archery takes place in front of the stables building at Godolphin, near the Piggery tea-room.

What to bring and wear

We recommend stout footwear with a strong grip. Godolphin can be muddy - even in the summer! - so we recommend waterproof shoes. There are also uneven surfaces to be aware of.
