Longbow Archery Surrey

Longbow Team Buliding

Experience Longbow Archery at Surrey Hills

Another fantastic activity we provide is our longbow archery experience at Surrey Hills Yurts. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of nature, this ancient art form has been twisted into a dynamic team-based game, offering participants an opportunity to hone their focus, precision, and teamwork skills.

Longbow Archey is both challenging and rewarding. Our long bow experts are at hand to help you learn the techniques for a successful shot and indulge in a bit of friendly competition with colleagues and friends.

A Traditional Sport

Longbow archery is more than just a sport; it's a timeless tradition that connects us with the heritage of our ancestors. We may not encounter long bows much in the modern era, but for hundreds of years they were an essential weapon used for both hunting and in ancient war time.

At Surrey Hills Yurts, we invite you to step back in time and experience the art of archery amidst the serene beauty of our natural surroundings.

You will draw an appreciation for our ancestors who mastered this weapon and test yourself to pick up this challenging skill.

Improve Focus and Precision

Longbow archery demands focus, patience, and precision. Participants must channel their concentration, block out distractions, and align their aim with pinpoint accuracy. This aspect of the game cultivates mindfulness and mental discipline, enhancing not only archery skills but also cognitive abilities essential for effective teamwork and problem-solving.

Team-Based Challenges

Our longbow archery experience goes beyond individual skill-building; it's a team-based game that encourages collaboration and camaraderie. Teams compete in a series of challenges that require strategic thinking, communication, and coordinated efforts.

From hitting targets at varying distances to solving archery-themed puzzles, each challenge fosters a sense of unity and shared achievement among team members.

Leadership and Strategy

Longbow archery provides a platform for leadership development and strategic planning. Team captains emerge to guide their teammates, offering direction, encouragement, and tactical insights. 

As teams strategise their approach to each challenge, they learn to leverage individual strengths, delegate tasks effectively, and adapt their strategies based on evolving circumstances.

Nature's Classroom

Our outdoor longbow archery experience is more than just a game; it's an educational journey through nature's classroom. 

Participants learn about the history and mechanics of archery, gaining insights into ancient techniques and modern practices. Moreover, the outdoor setting fosters a deeper appreciation for the natural world, instilling values of environmental stewardship and sustainability.

Building Bonds, One Arrow at a Time

Longbow archery at Surrey Hills Yurts is not just about hitting targets; it's about building bonds and forging memories that last a lifetime. As you cheer on your teammates, share tips and strategies, and celebrate each bullseye, you'll form connections that extend far beyond the archery range. 

Our outdoor adventure becomes a catalyst for building strong, cohesive teams that thrive on collaboration and mutual support.

RED BULL, UK
“I just wanted to say thank you again for yours and your family’s hospitality. It was the perfect setting for our meeting, to be able to spend some time away from our desks and the usual meeting environment to generate ideas and come closer together as a team. The facilities and setting are outstanding and the BBQ superb. I would highly recommend Surrey Hills Yurts.”
UNILEVER
"Joanna and Dave were great hosts, really attentive and did everything to make our stay a good one. The site is great and has everything you need, the yurts are very well equipped and the scenery/location is beautiful. Everyone in our party had a great time and really enjoyed themselves. Would highly recommend Surrey Hill Yurts and visit again.
ECOVER

"We visited Surrey Hill Yurts for a corporate overnight stay and LOVED IT. Joanna and her partner couldn't have been more helpful and really looked after us! They were the perfect hosts. We loved everything – the yurts, the space, being out in the countryside, we had sausages off the farm, enjoyed the dog wandering around, the goats and piglets…..The team had a fantastic time and we will definitely be going again. We cannot recommend Surrey Hill Yurts enough! These guys for sure go above and beyond to make sure your guests are looked after. Thank you!!!

ITSU GROCERY

Amazing venue for a work summer party! "We had a work away day/night here for our summer party and it was so much fun. Joanna is an incredible lady and helped us to organise everything from a corporate team building afternoon, full of challenging activities run by ex-Army officials to a wonderful Paella cooked by the open log fire to breakfast the following morning and Tag Archery to finish off. The facilities were perfect and Joanna made sure we had everything we needed. The Yurts are absolutely beautiful and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Would definitely recommend it for a work team building activity or a weekend away, the location and venue are stunning, just make sure you pack a torch and some warm clothes! Thank you so much!

Takeda
"We recently had a corporate away day at the Surrey Hill Yurts, we were a little unsure how it would be given it was outdoors in November but we need not have worried the whole experience was outstanding. Joanna answered all our questions and concerns and the day ran like clockwork. The food throughout was delicious and there was such a relaxed atmosphere surrounded by beautiful countryside. The team felt it was the perfect venue to reconnect after the difficult time we had through COVID. If you would like to get your team together in a stunning relaxed venue then this is the place for you, I can’t recommend it highly enough."

Scandit,
“We used this venue for a corporate fun day. The yurts were amazing and very luxurious. The facilities were all lovely and eco-conscious. The host was very helpful in organising a fantastic caterer, tents, lights and activities. Beautiful location in the surrey hills hidden away and quiet. Highly recommend either for a glamping or a corporate day!”

"The whole team had a fantastic couple of days at Surrey Hills Yurts, which was the perfect place to get away from the office (or home office!) for team building and relaxing. Joanna helped organise some great catering and activities, the accommodation itself was comfortable and spacious, and the Surrey Hills location was beautiful."

ESCENTIA LTD
I would love to thank Joanna and Surrey Yurts for hosting two recent business meetings for our clients . The attention to details was incredible and the events from start to finish went perfectly.  The ambiance , food, fire and extra entertainment made two special evenings that people have said they will remember for life. It also allowed me and my company to facilitate some incredible moments that lead to senior leadership stories being shared, that enabled teams to get to know each other at a much deeper level …. we will be back. November, 2022
