Everyone
wants to have a go at
archery! Windrush Bowmen can be found on the medieval festival circuit during the summer months. We set up a medieval camp to lay siege to our Have A Go castle. We represent a company of archers and camp followers from the period of the Wars of the Roses (1455 - 1487) with a nominal allegiance to Richard Duke of Gloucester (later Richard III). Come along and see us! |
 The Have A Go medieval castle -
knock over the knights, or hit the
shield to drop the drawbridge and take the castle
If you manage to hit the target, you're hired. It's a man's life in the army. |

| Windrush Bowmen Have A Go's
use
rubber-blunted arrows and lightweight bows so that all but the youngest
can easily take part. Safety is our foremost consideration. Our Have A
Go's are covered by G.N.A.S.
public liability insurance. |
