The castle’s resident archers will perform for visitors with a range of trials before going head-to-head in a tournament.

In between the demonstrations, visitors will have the chance to meet the Bowmen and learn more about the art, as well as the skill it takes to hit the target.

Visitors inspired by the professionals can try their hand at the ‘have -a-go’ archery station.
