A Thumb Draw Festival will be held at Archery GB's headquarters next month, giving archers a chance to try the traditional sport and take part in a competition.
Gayle Pink, Archery GB's Head of Participation, said: "After a fantastic pilot event last year, we're pleased to be returning to Lilleshall again to support this culturally significant bow type and help grow awareness of thumb draw archery."
The event will be held on Sunday 20 September.

Archers

An archer has been recognised for his “inspirational” fundraising efforts to support disability archery, with a visit from his local MP.
Simon Lightwood, MP for Wakefield and Rothwell, visited archery centre King in The North, to commend Simon Kitchener for his outstanding contribution to the Marchers for Archers campaign.
Simon was the campaign's second highest fundraiser, raising £1,541.25 through his “1000 Arrows” challenge which he completed in seven hours.
