Step back in time and experience medieval warrior training with Nowstrike Archery. Get hands-on with three exciting activities, which will run from 10:00-17:00 throughout the festival weekend: Combat Training – Medieval knights trained rigorously to develop their strength, endurance, and coordination. In our medieval combat training, you’ll have the chance to wield a sword and test your skills. Have you got what it takes to be a medieval knight? Suitable for adults and children aged 3+. Parents do not have to take part with their children, but they should remain at the activity area. This activity lasts approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Axe Throwing – Become a true warrior and test your eye to see if you can hit the target in this thrilling (and safe!) activity. Suitable for adults and children over 1.2m tall. Parents do not have to take part with their children, but they should remain at the activity area. This activity lasts approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Archery – Discover what it’s like to be a medieval archer at our have-a-go archery experience. Our instructors will be on hand to hone your technique, whether you’re an experienced archer or you’ve never picked up a bow before. Suitable for adults and children aged 3+. Parents do not have to take part with their children, but they should remain at the activity area. This activity lasts approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
