You’ve seen the Olympics, now have a go!

Inspired by shoot offs in Paris? Curious how far arrows can really go (hint – it’s a lot longer than Olympic competition distance). Want to take up a sport for LA? Then how about an archery beginner’s course in the relaxed surroundings of Wicken?

Each course is of 2 consecutive Sundays 13:30 to 16:30 and there are 3 courses planned for the remainder of the outdoor season

  • Sept 8th and 15th
  • Sept 29th and Oct 6th
  • Oct 20th and 27th

We provide all the equipment required for the course, which are all outdoors at Wicken Sports Ground. Juniors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian throughout the course.

Who knows, perhaps you’ll find gold at the end of the rainbow (or the middle of the target face)!
