Crossbow Challenge
Come and experience our exciting new Crossbow Challenge. You'll need a steady hand and sharp aim to hit the target. See how many points you can score with your 8 bolts and find out if you have the skills to join the royal ranks as a Master of the Crossbow.
Crossbow Challenge is managed by our expert team, who will provide guidance and full instructions on operating the crossbow. As these are real crossbows, we kindly ask that children under the age of 16 are accompanied by an adult.
Please be aware that during peak times, there might be a wait of up to an hour. To avoid a queue and visit between 10am to 11:30am.
