Each lane consists of 2 targets, an instructor and up to 10 players.

During the session, you’ll receive a safety brief, learn how to throw an axe, take part in a tournament and learn some trick shots. Ever fancied throwing two axes at once? An instructor will be on lane throughout to ensure you’re having a blast.

Is axe throwing safe?

Our sessions take place under highly controlled (but still fun) conditions. Axes are only ever thrown down empty, enclosed lanes under the watchful eye of an experienced instructor. As a result of rigorous testing, our axes and flooring have both been designed to reduce any unwanted bounces. Safety is our highest priority and we are continually reviewing and updating our practices to prevent any dangerous situations before they occur.

If you would like to read more about our commitment to safety go here.

Can we drink alcohol beforehand?

We strongly advise against drinking alcohol beforehand. Should our instructors believe you’re behaving in an unsafe manner you’ll be relegated to a spectator role for the remainder of the session.

Is this for 18’s and over only?

We don’t allow entry to any of our venues to those under the age of 18. We operate a challenge 25 policy so please bring ID.

Can I play if I’m pregnant?

Axe throwing is a relatively low-intensity activity so there is no reason why you can not play. If you have any concerns please consult a doctor. If you are in the third trimester of your pregnancy, or up to 6-months post-partum, we strongly suggest speaking with your midwife or doctor before booking.

Also, congratulations!
