White Dragon Activity Centre

At some activity centres, you get a bored teen who gives you a basic runthrough of how to use the equipment and leaves you to it. Not here! Every one of our coaches genuinely knows a lot about archery, axe throwing, survival or airguns and will be happy to answer questions and give expert tips. They're also fun people, and we're famous in the local area for creating a brilliant atmosphere with lots of laughs while people discover new skills.

The team includes a former marine biologist, an ex Royal Marines Commando, a teacher and a writer! All our experiences creatively combine a love of getting active outdoors with expertise in history, science, survival and folklore.

We have equipment suitable for all ages, from age 10 to 100. Our bows are real, but they come in different strengths, so you don't need to be strong or experienced to use them. If you fancy something really special, you can upgrade to a longbow - a beautiful handcrafted wooden bow, the kind used by archers of old in war and sport!

There's no macho stuff here and that's why we're so popular with families, schools, disability groups and, well... everyone.

If you're coming for airguns, there's also a very cool 'army bunker' upstairs. With a sniper's window that opens out onto the shooting range below, it's a great place to try taking down targets from above.

The outdoor centre has a different, but equally incredible, feel. Set in five acres of woodland, it's far away from road noise and buildings, so you really feel you're escaping the hustle and bustle. There are grassy shooting ranges lined with rustling willow trees, woodlands where targets peep out from behind trees, and a secret 'survival' area where you can gather around the campfire, under the shelter of a parachute, and discover the vital skills of bushcraft.

This isn't a standard leisure centre - it's a unique, creative little gem.
