About

This Halloween, White Dragon Activity Centre in Bures invites older children (10+) and adults to experience something truly unique: glow-in-the-dark sharpshooting and archery in near-darkness.

Our castle-themed indoor range transforms into a haunted hall of eerie decorations, glowing cobwebs and ghostly atmosphere. After stepping through an inflatable haunted house, adventurers take on a series of spooky challenges:

Air pistols, .50 revolvers and P90 rifles aimed at glowing pins and ghostly figures

Archery against 2D and 3D spooky targets

A finale unlike anything else: loosing soft-tipped arrows at glowing pins in near-darkness

Every participant leaves with a Halloween gift box containing a gingerbread dragon and a White Dragon memento.

White Dragon Activity Centre is renowned for imaginative, small-group adventures — from woodland archery and axe throwing to survival skills and community events.

Map & Directions

Road Directions

The postcode (CO8 5DJ) will lead you to some houses nearby. If you're using Google Maps, just put 'White Dragon Activity Centre' in. The magic of Google will lead you straight to us! If not, look out for our signs.

If sat-nav tries to lead you over a level crossing and down a very small farm track, please ignore it, return to the main road and continue until you reach the village green, then turn left and follow it from there. You can get to us via the farm track but it's not as nice to drive on as the main road!

White Dragon Activity Centre is made up of two sites very close to each other - one for indoor adventures, one for outdoor. Make sure you come to the right one as they each have their own car park! When you book you'll get emails and texts with full directions, and you can check our website too at https://www.whitedragonactivitycentre.co.uk/directions.

Public Transport Directions

By train Bures Railway Station is only a ten-minute walk from us, but be careful - part of it is a country lane with no pavement. Turn left, then left again, out of the station. Take another left immediately after you walk under the railway bridge. Continue until you see our signs near a farm. Check our website to make sure you're coming to the correct one of our two sites in Bures: https://www.whitedragonactivitycentre.co.uk/directions
