10 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Cirencester That You Shouldn't Miss
Cirencester (/ˈsaɪrənsɛstər/ ( listen), occasionally /ˈsɪstər/ ( listen); see below for more variations) is a market town in east Gloucestershire, England, 93 miles (150 km) west northwest of London. Cirencester lies on the River Churn, a tributary of the River Thames, and is the largest town in the Cotswold District. It is the home of the Royal Agricultural University, the oldest agricultural college in the English-speaking world, founded in 1840. The town's Corinium Museum is well known for its extensive Roman collection. The Roman name for the town was Corinium, which is thought to have been associated with the ancient British tribe of the Dobunni, having the same root word as the River Churn. The earliest known reference to the town was by Ptolemy in AD 150.

My fiancé and I had a brilliant time shooting clays. I’d never shot before but that didn’t matter at all - by the end of the session I’d been made to feel confident and really enjoyed it. Great fun, teaching and guidance on point, very safe and overall just a bloody good experience.

Visited as part of a varied group attending before a wedding that day. The event was professionally organised with good humour. Excellent pre-drive briefing with no information overload. Demonstration driving and tuition were both fantastic with enthusiasm. It’s a great and unusual experience so thoroughly recommended. I quite fancy the rally car experience too.

Unlike many ranges we have sheltered shooting huts which allows us to continue even in bad weather. All lessons are done with beginners in mind however if you have done these activities before we are sure you haven't done it our way. With a huge selection of games available and Hall of Fames to be conquered, let the fun competitions begin! Our reviews speak volumes!
