White Dragon Activity Centre

Looking forward to a great weekend!

Hear ye, hear ye! 📣

A small change to this weekend’s Joust programme...

Due to unforseen circumstances, the Knight School team are no longer able to attend, but we’re delighted to bring you an exciting archery & longbow demonstration in their stead with White Dragon Activity Centre - starting at 11.45am each day 🏹

The fabulous Colchester Waits will also be in the arena in the afternoon treating us to their authentic medieval music 🎶 and there will be the opportunity for all children to get involved in the action in Part I of the tournament with the The Knights of Royal England ⚔️

All the jousting tournaments and other activities will be going ahead as planned, including have a go at archery and axe throwing (included with tickets) and lots more to see and do ☀️🏰

If you'd like to join us, tickets can be booked here: https://www.hedinghamcastle.co.uk/events/royal-england-joust

Tonight our fledgling Airgun club moves outside for the first time and now you can dust off those air rifles and join in with the plinking. Follow Gale's Guns for more.

Gale’s Guns is a friendly and welcoming shooting venue for air gun enthusiasts of all skill levels. Located in Bures Essex in the home of White Dragon Activity Centre, our club has a 10 metre pistol range.

World’s Edge isn't just a festival. It’s an unusual village that spins through space and time, picking up inhabitants as it goes. ⚡✨🧙‍♂️

Walk through the gates and you might encounter fae, mermaids, starfighters, or people from the distant reaches of history. It’s said that for just one weekend a year near Midsummer, the village connects to our own world.

On that weekend, the citizens of World’s Edge hold a special market, spectacular shows, thrilling tournaments and live music to welcome you one and all in the spirit of imagination.

Will you answer the call this June?

We get a lot of 5-star reviews and they fill us with joy! 💛 White Dragon is a small independent business, so every review (and booking) makes a big difference to us.

It's not easy running an outdoor activity centre as a small team - many are owned by big players, councils and national corporations. There's as much stress as fun... but the place is so darn beautiful, and our customers are so much fun, we just can't keep away!

Thanks for following, reacting, booking, reviewing, sharing and everything else that's helped us beat the odds over the last 10 years and, we hope, for many years to come! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We've had a few emails enquiries about our Map Reading courses recently so we will be putting up a couple of dates to book in the Spring.
