A rich history spanning various cultures and time periods. At The Vanguard Centre, we offer a dedicated archery programme that allows individuals to explore this ancient sport in a modern setting.
Located in a converted railway arch near Glasgow city centre, The Vanguard Centre provides a unique and immersive environment for archery enthusiasts of all levels. Our venue is conveniently situated just south of the Clyde, within a 10-minute walk from Central Station, making it easily accessible for both local residents and visitors to Glasgow.
Our instructors at The Vanguard Centre are highly experienced and widely recognised in their respective fields, with expertise extending across the UK, Europe, and beyond. They are passionate about sharing their knowledge and love for archery, ensuring that each student receives the highest quality instruction tailored to their individual needs and goals.
One of the key features of our facility is our indoor archery range, fully equipped with everything you need to get started. Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced archer, we offer weekly drop-in sessions where you can learn, practise, and refine your archery skills. However, due to the popularity of these sessions, we strongly recommend booking in advance to secure your spot and avoid any disappointment.
In addition to our regular classes, The Vanguard Centre also organises courses teaching historical crafts and other skills. With a focus on preserving and celebrating old, cool, and perhaps slightly dangerous activities, we aim to provide a diverse range of learning opportunities for our members.
Furthermore, The Vanguard Centre is proud to offer tailored archery experiences for special occasions such as stag, hen, and birthday parties. We also cater to group events and team-building activities for businesses, providing a fun and unique way to bring people together while learning archery or engaging in historical sword fighting.
As a part of the Academy of Historical Arts (AHA), The Vanguard Centre operates with the support and resources of this reputable organisation. All members of The Vanguard Centre automatically become members of AHA and gain access to the benefits associated with AHA membership.
