Welcoming, safe and fun
Mourne Archery Ltd
Located on the outskirts of Castlewellan, Co. Down, Mourne Archery offers a unique and engaging archery experience for everyone
Our history:
The Mourne Archery Centre started in 2009. Our founder, Katy, wanted to have a positive impact on the local area by sharing the joys of archery with friends, family and the wider community.
We grew with the support of our members and regulars over the years, into Mourne Archery Limited.
Our aim has always been to enable archery to be accessible and affordable for all.
We have created a friendly space for children and adults alike. Here everyone can learn new skills, make friends, and have fun in a supportive environment.
It doesn’t matter if you're a beginner or an experienced archer looking for a challenge, our archery home is perfect for you. Come share the excitement of the sport with us!
Really can't rate this place highly enough. Five adults and a rather excited wee dog dropped by for a bit of fun, and boy we weren't disappointed. Katy and her Dad Michael were absolutely superb. … Will we be back ? With bells on

How it all works
Our sessions last 1 hour and 50 minutes.
This includes:
Equipment allocation
A brief safety talk
Fun activities
Ongoing support and advice
You'll be asked to sign in once you arrive, and shown your allocated seating.
You'll then be kitted with a braiser, arrows, target and bow.
Each session begins with a safety brief followed by training your aim with target shooting.
Then, you'll try your hand at archery games with different targets, like Tic-Tac-Toe.
Finally, enjoy an exciting balloon-popping challenge to use what you’ve learnt.
We have designed our sessions to be adaptable to suit all skill levels.
We cater for all shapes and sizes of groups, with enough time for one to one coaching throughout the sessions.
Bookings for individuals, families, and small groups, a maximum of 8 people participate in each session, taking turns allowing everyone to train and enjoy their experience.
For groups of 9 to 24 people, participants will take turns, allowing everyone to train and enjoy the experience.
A session costs £15 per person.
