Hull Archery Hub
A permanent, net zero sanctuary for archery, social connection and community wellbeing.
Hull Archery Club has served the city for decades as an affordable, inclusive and welcoming place to learn archery. Many people attend not only to shoot, but to find calm, company and a safe space to decompress.
The new Hull Archery Hub will move us from rented school halls to a dedicated, purpose built facility that operates every day of the week. It will be a home for archers, families, community groups and anyone who needs a warm, safe and friendly environment.
Who We Serve
- Beginners and experienced archers
- Young people and families
- People managing anxiety or stress
- Disabled and para archers
- Community and support groups

Roof mounted solar panels feeding a battery system to power lighting, heating and services.
Underfloor Heating
Air source heat pump driving a wet underfloor heating system for efficient winter warmth.
Passive Cooling
Raised structure and controlled airflow through the stilt void help keep the building cool in summer.
Rainwater Harvesting
Rainwater collected from the roof supplies toilets and irrigation, reducing mains water demand.
Efficient Lighting
Daylight focused design and efficient LED lighting reduce energy use and improve comfort.
Low Running Costs
Combined systems aim to keep energy and water bills close to zero, so funding supports people, not overheads.

We welcome support from grant providers, corporate partners, philanthropists and individual donors. The Hull Archery Hub combines community impact, environmental responsibility and long term operational resilience.
