How it works

Each one-hour session starts with a full safety briefing from one of Top Targets' experienced instructors. Before long, you'll be kitted out with eye protection and all the knowledge you need to shoot safely.

Then you'll take the stand. Here, your instructor will give you a hands-on lesson on using our state-of-the-art air rifles and air pistols.

Line up, steady your aim and take a shot. Our rifles have telescopic sights, so you can zoom in and really test your reflexes.

And remember: beginners are welcome. We have a range of targets to suit all abilities – and we'll be on hand to keep you safe and comfortable throughout.

  Loved it here!

So much to do for the kids. Football golf was a huge success with my footie crazy boys. The animal park was great, we especially loved feeding the wallabies.

  A great day out for kids of all ages

We only spent the afternoon here and with only one 5 year old that was fine. But with more kids or older ones I think you could easily spend the whole day here.

  An amazing time had by all

Christmas 2025 Tapnell farm was a magical experience. They really exceeded expectations this year. Great value for money. Great activities,  my granddaughter age 8, really believed she was in the Northpole, and when the snow came down it brought such joy to my granddaughter. Santa and Mrs clauses were the best. The elfs were fun and helpful.

Well done Tapnell farm

  Absolutely impeccable stay!

I stayed in the module log cabin and everything was perfect — exactly as described on the booking website. The place was also very dog friendly, which made the trip even better. I just have to make a special mention of how impressive the fridge was in the accommodation — it really exceeded expectations. Highly recommend!

  Fantastic day out for kids/family

Loads to do both indoors and out! A lovely coffee/cake selection including GF options!!

Sandwiches and meals available as well although we took a packed lunch which we could eat either outside or in the huge barn area (which includes a play area/go kart track!)
