Our introductory courses, led by our passionate coaches, are designed to introduce you to the principles of archery in a safe, enjoyable, and hands-on way.

• Each course is limited to 10 participants to ensure sufficient one-on-one coaching time. If a course is fully booked, you’ll have to sign up for next month’s course as we won’t be able to accept additional entries.

• Once you’ve registered, no refunds will be given for non-attendance, unless arrangements are made prior to the course date. If adverse weather causes the course to be cancelled, alternative arrangements will be made.
