Before you book a taster session
Please read this page before you book. It tells you what to expect and what the booking form asks for.
About the session
A taster session lasts 1.5 hours. Sessions can sometimes run a little longer. A qualified Archery GB coach leads every session. All our coaches have a DBS check.
The price is £15. It includes:
- All coaching and equipment.
- An introduction to the basics of archery.
- Plenty of time to practise and enjoy the sport.
Who can come
You do not need any archery experience.
Children must be aged 8 or over. For younger children, contact us before you book.
What the booking form asks
The booking form asks for the height and wingspan of each person who will shoot. We use them to prepare a bow and arrows of the correct size.
- Height: stand straight against a wall. Measure from the floor to the top of your head.
- Wingspan: stretch both arms out to the sides, like a letter T. Measure from the tip of one middle finger to the tip of the other.
The form also asks for the date of birth of each person who will shoot. We use it to supervise juniors correctly and to meet our safeguarding duties.
Before you come
- Under-18s must have a parent or guardian with them for the whole session.
- Tell us about any medical conditions or special needs before the session.
- Bring any medication you need, food and drink, and sunscreen on sunny days.
- Wear flat, closed shoes. Sandals and flip-flops are not allowed for safety reasons.
- The grass can be wet, so wear shoes that can get wet or muddy.
- Tie long hair back.
- Avoid very loose or baggy clothes and hoodies with drawstrings. They can catch in the bowstring.
- You may need to remove facial piercings.
Where to find us
Sessions are at our field on Derby Road, Milford DE56 0RA. How to find us and where to park. If you park on the field, you do so at your own risk.
We shoot at the field from late March to late October. We do not shoot there in winter.
