What Is Archery Tag?

Think dodgeball with bows and arrows.

You’ll be kitted out with a bow, a quiver of foam-tipped arrows, and protective face gear before heading into battle. Then it’s simple: dodge, duck, and fire your way to glory while avoiding incoming arrows from the opposing team.

Our friendly instructors are always on hand to keep things safe, fair and full of fun — whether you’re a sharpshooter or a total beginner.

Where You Can Play

Archery Tag is now available at:
🏹 Coventry
🏹 Chelmsford 
🏹 Dalkeith

Each site has its own outdoor combat zone, complete with cover points, target zones and plenty of space to let those arrows fly.

Who’s It For?

Archery Tag is perfect for groups who love a little friendly competition. Whether you’re organising a birthday party, a corporate away day, or just want something different to do with your friends, this game ticks all the boxes.

It’s suitable for ages 10+, with adults welcome to join the fun (or supervise from the sidelines).

Each session lasts 60 minutes, including a briefing and kit demo — and with a minimum group size of 10, you’ll have exclusive use of the battlefield.

Does It Hurt?

Not one bit.
The arrows are foam-tipped, so you’ll feel the satisfaction of a hit without the sting. It’s designed to be competitive but totally safe, so you can dive into battle without worrying about bruises.

Why You’ll Love It

Aside from the sheer fun of firing arrows at your friends (legally), Archery Tag also helps you:

  • Improve focus and coordination 

  • Build teamwork and communication 

  • Get active while having a laugh 

It’s the ultimate mix of adrenaline, laughter and forest chaos — and trust us, you’ll be talking about it long after the last arrow lands.
