Visitors of all abilities will be able to try out a new sport. Archery is a fun and inclusive activity for all the family, plus there will be the opportunity to meet new friends – at each event there will be club coaches to lend a hand and chat about the social side of archery.

All equipment will be provided, therefore all participants need to do is bring along themselves and plenty of enthusiasm.
