As Robin Hood and William Tell would testify, this is one for the steady handed, so those of you who’ve had a heavy one the night before are likely to find this a real challenge! You will have competition standard bows to use and instructors to help you to get to grips with them. After a short practice, the full-on competition begins. (Top tip: with the need for a steady hand, a well-timed bit of sledging can send a mate’s arrow straight into the dirt where it belongs.)

Duration: Approximately 1-1.5 hours

Nerves of steel and a steady hand are all that is needed for this fun-filled and competitive Olympic-style archery tournament. Competitors are given a score sheet and let loose on the large field targets. An activity that is definitely a lot harder than it looks, the person who emerges with the highest score will be awarded a certificate and dubbed ‘Master Bowman’ of the day.

Duration:
1 hour

Bullseye!
Robin Hood was cool (no, not the Kevin Costner version) and William Tell was only a Granny Smith away from lodging an arrow through his son's noggin. With heroes like this in England's rich history who wouldn't want to pick up a bow and arrow, take aim and shoot 2 foot wide of the target to the heckling jeers of their compadres. With steady handedness a prerequisite, those who've had a heavy one the night before will be pulling their arrows from the dirt.

Luckily you'll have competition standard bows to use and instructors to help you to get to grips with them so you might just nail that bullseye. After a short practice it's competition time with the victor doubtlessly thrusting his bow skyward in jubilation, cheering and grunting like a Neanderthal who's just floored a Sabretooth on the hunt.

Duration:
- Full day (includes 2 x 3 hour activity sessions and a packed lunch)
