Set inside Keswick, Battle Archery is a high-energy group activity that blends the aim of archery with the tactics of paintball: participants are kitted with special bows, foam-tipped arrows and helmets, then set loose to score points while dodging their opponents. The operator runs sessions for groups of eight or more and provides full safety equipment; the standard session runs two hours and is suitable for anyone aged 12 and up.

Outing Highlights

THE GAME

Archery Meets Paintball

Players shoot foam-tipped arrows at opposing teams in fast, team-based skirmishes — scoring and evasion are both part of the game, making for continuous, tactical action.

THE KIT

Fully Supplied Safety Gear

Every participant is provided with a special bow and arrow and a helmet, so groups can arrive ready to play without needing to source protective equipment themselves.

THE SOCIAL

Designed for Groups and Gathering

The activity is intended for groups — bookings require a minimum of eight people — and sessions include time to relax before or after in the operator’s café.

What the day feels like

What It Feels Like

Two hours of curated, indoor combat play where teams manoeuvre, shoot and score under the watch of the operator’s staff. After a kit-up and briefing, rounds of short, competitive games keep the tempo high and the stakes simple: hit targets and players with foam-tipped arrows while avoiding incoming fire.
