Archery and HEMA Sessions


MembersVisitors
Single Session£8£10
5-Session Pass£40£45
10-Session Pass£70£80

HEMA: drop-in sessions

All of our regular, weekday HEMA classes are taught drop-in sessions, so you don’t need to pre-book or pre-pay, just turn up and participate as and when you are available. We want this service to be as simple and easy to use as possible!

Archery: book your session

Due to the popularity of our archery sessions, we have had to implement a booking system to make sure that the sessions do not become too crowded. To attend one of the archery sessions, please do book your place through our website: Archery Bookings

Other activities

Any special seminars or events will be advertised with their own attendance fee, and will not be covered by one of these multi-session passes.

Parties


Group Size3-8 People9-12 People
Price£12 per person£15 per person
Session Length60 minutes90 minutes

The minimum fee for a group booking is £60. A £30 deposit is payable upon booking, with the balance due at or before the event.

If you would like to do archery OR sword fighting at your party, then a single session length would be sufficient (i.e. 60 minutes for a smaller group or 90 minutes for a larger group).

If you would like to do BOTH archery and sword fighting at your party then you will need to book a longer party so that there is sufficient time to do both activities and to give everyone a chance to spend a reasonable amount of time with sword and bow in hand. We would recommend two hours for a smaller group or three hours for a larger group.

If you have a larger group than 12 people, we can perhaps still accommodate you, but please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Book Your Party

Parties can be booked for weekdays and weekends. If you would like to make a booking, ask for more information, or to arrange a visit to the Centre to see what we have to offer, then please contact us by email or call us on 07477 234 020. We will be more than happy to chat with you and make the necessary arrangements!
