- Cost is £60 for 12 participants (1.5 hours) – double length slots may also be booked (if you are booking outside of a site booking and would like to use our field/meeting room for activities for the non-participating group this will usually be possible for an additional charge – £145 for the double shooting slot plus the use of field and meeting room, plus access to the kitchen for preparing refreshments)
