Fire, Shelter and Bullseyes: A Yorkshire Bushcraft & Archery Taster in Wetherby.
Set in the rolling woodlands of Yorkshire, The Bushcraft & Archery Experience is a compact, four-hour session that pairs essential wilderness skills — firecraft and shelter building — with a focused, one-hour archery lesson led by experienced instructors. The format is deliberately a taster of both disciplines, giving participants practical hands-on time in the outdoors while moving through fundamental techniques and safety routines.
