Dogs are very welcome to join you during your visit to Hazlewood Castle. Many guests enjoy being outdoors with their pets, and having your dog along can add to the overall experience. For everyone’s safety and enjoyment, dogs must always remain on a lead, and owners are expected to clean up after their pets.
We also ask that dogs are well-behaved and comfortable around groups of people and other dogs. If your dog is nervous or excitable in busy settings, it might be worth considering whether they’ll be happy during your visit. By following these simple guidelines, you and your dog can enjoy a relaxed and positive experience.

The site offers comfortable areas where they can sit back with a coffee, take in the surroundings, and watch the action unfold.
Having spectators often adds to the fun, giving participants a boost of encouragement and a friendly cheer from the sidelines. It’s also a great way for non-participants to get a feel for the activities on offer, perhaps inspiring them to join in next time.
There are basic changing facilities available for guests at Hazlewood Castle. These areas provide the privacy you need to get changed before and after your session. However, they are kept simple, so it’s best to come dressed in suitable clothing for your chosen activity if possible.
Bringing a change of clothes is still recommended, particularly if the weather is wet or the session involves getting muddy. Having dry, comfortable clothing to change into after the activity ensures that your trip home is more pleasant.
Comfortable clothing that allows for easy movement is recommended. Avoid loose sleeves that could interfere with the bowstring, and ensure closed-toe shoes are worn for safety.
Layered clothing is ideal for varying weather conditions, and we advise bringing a light waterproof if the session is outdoors. Accessories such as hats or gloves can be used for comfort but should not impede movement.
