RC Balloon Jousting at Potters Resorts

Picture four valiant contestants, armed with remote-controlled cars equipped with a lance and coloured balloon… and let the chaos commence! Enter our jousting arena and pop your rival’s balloon, along with their dreams of becoming a champion. Precision and agility are the keys to success as you aim to outwit and outmanoeuvre your adversary!

Clout Archery

This traditional form of archery involves shooting arrows at a distant target on the ground, rather than a conventional bullseye-style target.

The target, known as a “clout,” is placed horizontally while archers aim to land their arrows as close to the clout as possible. It requires precision, distance judgement, and skillful trajectory calculation.

Fun Axe Throwing

Experience the thrill of traditional axe throwing with lightweight, rubber axes designed for all ages and abilities.

With targets creating friendly competition, this activity is a great way to improve hand-eye coordination and for many, will be something new to try for very the first time!

And there’s more…

The fun won’t end at Five Lakes this summer, with even more additions to our bustling programme and list of activities.

If you struggle on the doubles, why not try your hand on our Inflatable Dart Board instead? And, for the navigator in you, why not give our Treasure Hunt a go?

We’ve also finished work on our Crazy Golf course at Five Lakes, you can take on our Soar & Score challenge for good causes, and don’t miss your opportunity to Beat the Entertainer in a hilarious new activity with our larger-than-life team.

It’s all happening here at our Adults’ playground this summer, so what are you waiting for?
