Join us for an Archery beginner class for adults and kids from age 9 years and up. Learn to shoot a bow and arrow at Talkin Tarn near Carlisle.

Following a short safety briefing and demonstration, you will shoot lots of arrows as you progress through a series of games and competitions. Coaching and guidance will be provided throughout your session to help you improve whilst having a fun time. If you are looking for things to do near Carlisle then book onto one of these sessions and you're sure to enjoy it.

Private archery sessions available for online booking for up to 8 participants. As a private session for your group, the cost remains the same for 1-6 participants. Please contact us to arrange a session for larger groups at either Talkin Tarn or at your own suitable venue. Each month, we schedule an open archery session, with individual spaces available to book - click here for open sessions.

Take a look at our calendar for availability and session details. If you would like to arrange a bespoke session or activity day for a larger group, or at a different venue, please get in touch.

When boat hire is open, we are often able to offer archery to book on the day. This is dependent on our instructor availability so it is best to pre-book a private session. On the day we may have open sessions with individual places but these are only available to book in advance via events we have already scheduled.

Choose from a wide range of adventure activities for a private event, or pop down and see what's happening when boat hire is open during the season. Whether you’re looking to keep the kids busy during the school holidays, or organise valuable outdoor experiences for disadvantaged children and young people, our wide range of out of school activities offer an opportunity to get some fresh air in a safe and exciting environment.

Suitable for children from 9 years old, our activities include archery, canoeing, kayaking, orienteering, raft building and problem solving challenges. We have small group sizes to ensure that each participant gets a high level of coaching and supervision.

It's not just for the kids though, we love to host adult and family groups for bespoke activity and team days! We'll even bring some activities to you!
