What to wear and bring, for every activity

The short answer.

Comfortable outdoor clothes and shoes with good grip, for every activity. The park supplies the specialist kit: masks, coveralls, camouflage, goggles, bows, axes and rifles, depending on what you’ve booked.

Comfortable clothes, grippy closed-toe footwear, layers in the cold and spare shoes if it’s wet. No sandals or sliders.

Tie long hair back, and avoid very loose sleeves for the target sports.
