Getting started with Archery

Before you can apply for membership of Plumpton Bowmen, or any other Archery GB affiliated club, you need to have completed a recognised beginner’s course. As a first step you might like to join us on a have-a-go day.

Have-a-Go Days

An opportunity for you to come along and try your hand at archery under the guidance of our experienced coaches.

They take place during the summer months, normally from April to August, on the third Sunday of the month. Please check the exact dates and times on the home page.

No booking, just come along

The cost is £10 per session for adults and £5 for children.

Children are most welcome. However for those under 8 years old please contact us beforehand.

Beginner’s courses are held twice a year

We normally hold courses in April and September, they comprise 4 lessons, held weekly, each lasting 3 hours including a coffee break.

All equipment will be provided and the course is taken by qualified coaches who have all been CRB checked.

Upon completion of the course you will receive a certificate and be given the opportunity to apply for membership of the Plumpton Bowmen Archery Club.

If you are interested in attending please use the form below to get in touch with our Club Secretary.

Our policy on juniors

We accept applications from children aged 8 years and over.

Please note that Juniors must be accompanied by an adult at all times. As a family club we very much encourage parents to join the course along with their children.
