Although we love spending time in our ranges at White Dragon Activity Centre, the fun isn’t tied to one location! Our mobile have-a-go archery range and historical talks can hit the road and come to you. If you’re arranging an event anywhere in the UK, contact us to discuss how we can help.
Event attraction for hire
White Dragon brings a dash of excitement to any event.
We have over ten years of experience at events around the UK attracting up to 20,000 visitors, including:
- historical fayres like Colchester’s Medieval Festival
- the grand opening of the new Mary Rose Museum in Portsmouth
- National Trust events like Castaway and Woodfest in Essex
- open days at stately homes like Speke Hall in Liverpool
- local council-run festivals like SWFest in Chelmsford
- sessions and fairs at schools around Essex and Suffolk
If your event has a special theme, we love to get into the spirit of things. We’ll dress up and bring along special targets that match your event!
An activity suitable for all ages
All our archery setups are suitable for anyone aged 8 and over. We also bring along a little bow which young children and even toddlers can use with a little help from parents and coaches (social distancing rules allowing).
Whether your event is for adults or families, White Dragon’s have-a-go stall is bound to hit the mark. If alcohol is available at your event, we do retain the right to turn away anyone we believe is intoxicated for safety reasons.
Our coaches
White Dragon’s team of experienced coaches can chat to your visitors about archery in general as well as teaching them the basics. Depending on your event, we can provide an in-depth talk to a group or give visitors a fantastic short experience with a have-a-go stall: it’s up to you.

White Dragon Archery attended our Medieval Fete here at Feeringbury Manor three years running and their pretty tent always helped set the medieval scene and the archery was extremely popular. They were charming to deal with and a great success with visitors to the Fete.
