So come and see who lives in our woodland and meet red squirrels, possible Boris and Doris the badgers, maybe spot pine marten tracks and witness the variety of bird and insect life. Amateur photographers also find this a truly wonderful experience - bring your camera!

The 3hr session is suitable for adults, families and friends, and we have welcomed corporate groups, travel groups and family groups as well as a few Hen Parties.  The condensed version (2h15) is ideal for children's parties or those with limited time.  For all sessions we do teach safe fire lighting and extinguishing, with our specially made fire pit and, of course we involve marshmallows and smores!

Longbow Experience  2hrs  

Take a step back in time and enjoy a leisurely but fascinating session learning the art of the Longbow. Our traditional Archery Instructors help you to master the technique and relive times gone by. As your confidence and knowledge grows you will soon be shooting wooden arrows, off the hand, from a range of marked and unmarked distances, including an opportunity to shoot longer distance. All equipment is provided for your safety and is in keeping with the traditional sport - some of the equipment may be leather and natural feathers are used as fletching. This session requires moderate fitness due to the woodland trail, however although the bows are replica long/war bows they are not so heavy to draw back that you become uncomfortable, so this is a unique opportunity to fine tune your archery skills and enjoy one of the oldest sports in our human history. This is not a session for complete beginners. Minimum of two people and a maximum of 6. Minimum age 14yr. Any children must have an adult participating also. This 2 hour experience is £52pp. Outlander fans are welcome, however we do advise you to start with Woodland Archery if you have never tried archery before.
