Try archery at Festival of Sport this summer

Ever dreamed of getting gold? Join us at the Festival of Sport this summer for your chance to pick up a bow and learn from the best!

Whether you’re a complete beginner or a budding Robin Hood, we have sessions for all ages – featuring both pointy and soft archery. Even more exciting, you’ll have the chance to meet Paralympic legend Jodie Grinham, who made history with her gold and bronze medal wins at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.

The Festival returns to the beautiful Packington Estate, Warwickshire, from 24–27 July. Tickets are on sale now!

Whether you're sport-obsessed or looking to try something new, the Festival of Sport offers a high-energy, fun-packed weekend for all the family. Designed with families in mind, it’s the perfect "starter festival." The limited capacity and compact layout mean less time spent trekking between tents and more time enjoying the action. Best of all, it takes the stress out of planning with pre-scheduled children’s timetables, so your little ones can dive straight into activities without the long queues.

Join us for the day or immerse yourself in the full experience with our three-night camping and glamping options.

As well as Paralympic champion Jodie Grinham, dozens of sporting legends will be coaching youngsters in over 20 different activities, including Commonwealth medallists like hockey players Kate and Helen Richardson-Walsh, athletes Derek Redmond and Joel Fearon and netballers Karen Greig, Serena Guthrie and Tamsin Greenway. Rugby internationals Will Greenwood, Austin Healey, Ben Youngs, Sydney Gregson and Alex Goode, will also be putting youngsters through their paces along with pro golfers Graeme Storm and Hannah Bowen and skier Chemmy Alcott.
 
There’s a full timetable of different sports sessions on both Saturday and Sunday for kids aged 4-17. Under 3s, who go free, can also join in with age-appropriate versions of a variety of sports and activities. And there’s plenty for grown-ups to do too, with HIIT classes, boot camp fitness, yoga and Pilates, sports massage, wood-fired sauna, organised runs, and a range of wellness-themed talks. And when the sports sessions have finished for the day, it’s time to party with live bands, DJs, open-air cinema and circus performers, fuelled by a full range of food trucks and stalls.
