Fun Archery Sessions
11 January, Talkin Tarn Country Park
Have a brilliant time with friends and family as you learn to use a modern recurve bow and shoot as many arrows as you can. Following a short safety demonstration, the kids will enjoy a series of practice rounds, games and competitions. All you need to do is book online and come along to Talkin Tarn for your session. Tie long hair back, dress for the weather and wear closed-toe shoes. These sessions are suitable for kids and adults from age 8 upwards.
Total Enigma
Does your family have what it takes to escape? Total Enigma at Atlas Works on Nelson Street is a captivating and interactive experience where you become part of the story.
