£3.6m Performance Archery Centre opens

Funded jointly by Sport England and UK Sport, the £3.6 million centre is the new home of British performance archery and will also host community and grassroots activities.

The new facility features a 70m indoor and outdoor shooting range, enabling year-round shooting, changing rooms, coaching and training support areas, toilets and car and cycle parking. As all facilities are on the same level, the centre is fully inclusive and accessible.

It also features several environmentally-friendly solutions, including an array of south-facing solar panels on the roof, along with additional battery storage to ensure the benefit is gained all year round.

Among the first users will be Team GB archers in the run up to the Paris 2024 Games.
