Haywood Oaks Activity Centre

Haywood Oaks Activity Centre - The Home of Clay Pigeon Shooting


Haywood Oaks Activity Centre and Nottingham Go Karts are part of Nottingham & District Gun Club, the home of clay pigeon shooting. The Nottingham based activity centre specialises in hen parties, stag activities, birthday celebrations, fun days out and team building. It was founded in the early 1960s and is a family run business that prides itself on outstanding customer service.

Set in the heart of North Nottinghamshire on the edge of Sherwood Forest (Robin Hood Country) and surrounded by gentle rolling hills, farmland and forest; you really couldn’t find a more idyllic setting for your event. Whether it is a corporate treat, networking, a birthday activity, a stag/hen party or just a good fun day out, we can cater for all your needs. You will find us on the A614, 9 miles to the north of Nottingham City Centre. We are within easy reach of both the M1 and A1.

We are situated very close to many other local attractions including Center Parcs, Sherwood Forest, Rufford Abbey, Clumber Park and the picturesque towns of Southwell, Newark and Edwinstowe.

We offer a relaxed yet professional environment with helpful, courteous and friendly staff. We have many facilities including a corporate meeting room, a friendly and well equipped clubhouse and an extensive menu offering great value hot and cold food all day, every day.

We never mix groups together so if you make a booking with us it will be an exclusive event. If you would like to bring spectators along with you, even if they are not participating in the event, they will be more than welcome.

We offer Clay Pigeon Shooting, Tank Driving, Sphering (also known as Zorbing), Go Karting, Buggy Driving and our Ultimate Race Experience. These activities are all detailed on the website. All of our prices are inclusive of VAT so there are no hidden extras and no nasty surprises. We just ask for a deposit of £10 per person payable at the time of booking to ensure that your booking is secured.

If you need any assistance with directions, hotels, taxis or any other local arrangements our booking team will be delighted (and able) to help.

All we ask in return is that you enjoy your visit!

Ultimate Race Experience

Our Ultimate Race Experience is a must for competitive stag, hen, team building or birthday groups. It relies on you working together in teams of 2 or more to race the course, tackle all the equipment and get the best time.  You begin by being launched down our 175 metre purpose built zorb track, then the race is on as you unstrap from the zorb and rush to the water's edge.  Now you have to coordinate your body to paddle the kayak quickly across the lake making sure your team mate does it quickly too (and without losing your balance and falling in!!)

Then it's time to smash some clays - armed with a shotgun you will get a number of targets to hit, as soon as you have both hit one each you can move on.

You then both dash to the buggy track where you are strapped into our double buggy. If you can't work as a team here, you will fail, as one of you controls the engine and steering to go left and the other controls the right turns. Communication and co-ordination will be tested to the limit as you race round the buggy course to get the best time.

The team that has the fastest overall time will be victorious (and they wont brag about it - honestly!!)

Included in the price of the event is tea/coffee, hire of all equipment, insurance, photo opportunities and a good laugh!

So don't delay, get your practice in for this event by racing to the phone to call us now on (01623) 883798 to book your ultimate day out.

Booking - All we ask for is £10 per person deposit to book an event. It doesn't matter how many activities you book for it is still just £10.

Dress Code - Dress for the weather, wear trousers or shorts and sensible, comfy footwear that you are happy to get muddy. Don’t forget a change of clothes and a towel.

Availability - We are open from Wednesday to Sunday throughout the year. The only days we close are Christmas Day & New Years Day. You do have to book the event rather than just turn up so we can make sure the Ultimate Race team and equipment are ready for you.

Transfer Time - We are 15 minutes from Nottingham City Centre and 10 minutes from Mansfield. Transfers not included in price but can be sourced if required. Only 5 minutes from Centre Parcs and Sherwood Forest.

Multi-activity - If you would prefer to stay on one site you can combine any of our activities together to make a day of it (Go Karting, Clay Shooting, Tank Driving, Zorbing, and Ultimate Race)

However there are any other activities you would like to participate in; we can arrange the following which are just a short drive away:- Quad biking, Dirt Buggy Safari &  Paintball.

Add ons - Lunch or breakfast is available with prior notice from our extensive menu.

Restrictions - A minimum group size of 6 is required, age 16 and over only. Pregnant ladies are not able to take part in this activity. Need to be physically active to get from one area to another.
