We're excited to be hosting Iron Age Archery again on six dates this summer. They will be running a book-on-arrival taster event for those over 8 years old. Soft archery sets will also be available nearby which are suitable for all ages.
Iron Age Archery taster sessions are for children and adults aged 8 and over. For just £2, learn some of the basics of the sport during your 20 minute slot. Please book at the visitor welcome building on arrival. We have slots throughout the day from 11am- 4pm, please note spaces will be limited.
Our soft archery equipment will be located nearby on the play field so our younger visitors won't miss out on the fun! Soft archery is free of charge and does not need to be booked.
