Nottingham Battlezone Archery

Let your inner Katniss Everdeen out to play.

Why do straight up archery when you could do the supercharged version? Nottingham Battlezone Archery is hella good! If you're into the idea of paintball but don't fancy the pain and bruising, check this out. The clue's in the name; this is a combat situation with special bows and arrows that deliver payback without inflicting any pain. It's all thanks to rubbery arrowheads and flexible bows. Does your bestie need bringing down a peg or two? Still seething over that top that got borrowed and returned with makeup stains? Well, now you can settle old scores without any comeback!

This activity is safe, well structured and expertly run by accredited events staff. They'll get you all sorted with your weapons and split into teams. They'll also explain the rules and how to play before you begin. There are a number of different games to play but they're all pretty straightforward and mostly have the same goal: shoot the enemy!

Nottingham Battlezone Archery lasts around 1 hour, which is great because you can do it and still have plenty of time left for other very important hen party stuff. Cocktails in Hockley, shopping in the Victoria Centre, and lunch in the Lace Market are all big musts.

Come on, ladies! Do something badass and send the bride off with a bang.

In a nutshell:
