Halloween

Spooky events for ages 6+

When autumn nights draw in and shadows lengthen across the meadows, something stirs in the White Dragon barn. Cobwebs glimmer, doors creak, and the castle-themed range transforms into a haunted hall of eerie targets, glowing webs and ghostly fun. Oh, and haunted bowling pins. Yep, you read that right.

This Halloween, join us in Bures for two brand new spooky experiences - one for young ghosthunters, one for older adventurers who dare to shoot in the dark.

A Shot In The Dark

Glow-in-the-dark sharpshooting and archery for age 10+

The lights are out. The game is on. In near-darkness, with just enough glow for safety, the targets shine ghostly green — eerie, irresistible, and ready for you to hit.

Brave adventurers and their families face:

  • Ghostly figures to shoot at with air pistols, revolvers and rifles

  • Archery against spooky 2D and 3D targets

  • A finale like no other! Can you defeat the forces of evil in the only way they understand… bowling? Take down haunted bowling pins with soft-tipped arrows in the dark.

🎁 Every participant leaves with a gingerbread dragon and keepsake.

📅 29–31 October | 🕕 6–8pm | 🎟️ £45 | 👥 Max 8 per session
