English Longbow Experience

Spend two hours with our resident archer, learning how to shoot an authentic English Longbow.

This course is open to anybody over the age of 8 years (under 16's must have a parent/guardian with them), with a reasonable level of fitness. 

Your experience will begin with a safety brief and historic background on the Longbow. You will be kitted out with a vambrace (arm protector) and an authentic longbow and arrows. 

Your instructor will then teach you the correct posture and technique, before you move on to shooting at targets. 

Your experience begins at 1pm, and finishes at 3pm with a drink and slice of cake from our tearoom.
