Start Archery Week- 14th- 22nd May 2022

This fun and inclusive sport is perfect for anyone wanting to try something new - on their own or with a group of family members or friends – all ages and abilities are invited to take part and experience the feeling of achievement as the arrow hits the target!

This annual event to engage new audiences, organised by Archery GB, its club volunteers and archery providers across the country, has been renamed to celebrate its 10th year. Since its launch during London 2012, the event has introduced thousands of people to the sport of archery. Start Archery Week is committed to extending that welcome even further this year.

Whether inspired by the medal successes of British athletes in Tokyo or keen to channel an inner superhero, Start Archery Week is the perfect opportunity for newcomers to try this most inclusive of sports.

Archery clubs and providers right across Great Britain and Northern Ireland are taking part as well as schools, outdoor and experience centres and other venues. Many of the events are free or charge just a small fee so as many people as possible can take up a bow and have a go.
