Our archery taster sessions and archery beginner courses are a relaxed, fun, and safe way to experience archery. Our courses are designed not only so you can try archery as a hobby but also to offer participants the ability to join our club and be part of a rewarding family-friendly sport.

Courses take place at our outdoor range and are limited to 12 participants so if you are potentially interested then contact the training officer (see below) to discuss your personal requirements and reserve a place on one of the courses.

The courses are suitable for both juniors from 8 years old, and adults and cost £80 per person

We offer a choice of archery training

  • Wednesday evening from 6pm to 8pm for 4 consecutive weeks
  • Saturday afternoon from 2pm to 5pm for 3 consecutive weeks

A junior can take the course providing at least 1 parent also takes the course with them or attends to supervise them.

All equipment, instruction and light refreshments are provided. A certificate is awarded on completion of the course.
