Get into the 16th century spirit and try your hand at shooting a longbow. These weapons have a seasoned history in English warfare, requiring more skill and precision than a sword. Get the know-how from an experienced archer and see how you would have fared in battle. For a slightly simpler encounter with Tudor weaponry, have a stab at axe throwing. Great in a group, get competitive with a ‘Throw-Off’! To take more of a backseat, let falconer Michael Davie awe you with his bird of prey display, learning how people hunted with hawks and falcons historically.
