[edit] Artists Rifles Clubhouse

The Artists Rifles Clubhouse is situated at the National Rifle Association's (NRA) shooting centre at Bisley Camp in rural Surrey. Only 28 miles from central London, the Artists Rifles Clubhouse is an ideal location for shooting, social functions, corporate events or a pleasant weekend break.

The colonial-style clubhouse has much character and charm. It is an integral part of Bisley Camp and is in a prime position overlooking the 600-yard Century shooting range. As well as being the recognised centre of international target rifle shooting, Bisley Camp (3,000 acres of Surrey heathland) is also a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and has an abundance of wildlife, flora and fauna.

The clubhouse is open every day (except Mondays and Christmas Day) and offers members and guests a comfortable bar and dining room set in a welcoming colonial style environment. The clubhouse has facilities for outdoor barbecues and there are six bedrooms available to guests, with ample space for car parking.

The Clubhouse was built for the Artists Rifles Regiment in 1926. It has recently been purchased by an ex-member with the support of fellow members, keen to preserve the heritage of the Artists Rifles Regiment. The Artists Rifles Clubhouse has recently undergone extensive renovation and is now the home of a new shooting club, the Mars and Minerva Shooting club, open to everyone.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Artists Rifles Clubhouse.
