Make sure your Father’s Day gift hits the target

English Heritage offers gift experiences with Have-a-go-Archery at Belsay on June 24

English Heritage has a spot-on solution for a socks-free gift this Father’s Day, with Have-a-go Archery sessions at Belsay Hall, Castle and Gardens.

The event is on June 24 – giving fathers a week to prepare themselves for the challenge. They will get one-to-one guidance from local experts the Ponteland Archers and can combine their sharp shooting outing with a visit to Picture House - an adventurous exhibition of Film, Art and Design on show at Belsay until September.

English Heritage events manager Jon Hogan said: “This is a great way to spend some quality time with your Dad and is something that the whole family can enjoy. Those who prefer not to tackle the archery challenge can visit the Picture House exhibition and enjoy the beautiful landscaped grounds of Belsay.

“The timing of the event a week after Father’s Day means that Dads get plenty of chance to look forward to their gift experience.”
