Bows and arrows

11:24am Thursday 25th August 2011 in Days' Out

Experience a part of Medieval England at Waltham Abbey this August bank holiday.

The Royal Golden Eagle Archers will be putting on a thrilling display of Medieval sporting activities, with archery displays and jousting.

As one of the leading archery display teams in the country, the Royal Golden Eagle Archers have become well-known, partly because of their signature display of shooting more than 50 flaming arrows into the sky. There will also be opportunities to mingle with Robin Hood and his merry men throughout the day.

The archery displays will take place on August 27-29, at the Royal Gunpowder Mills, Waltham Abbey. Details: www.thegoldeneaglearchers.co.uk
