HOW IT WORKS
01
SAFETY BRIEFING
Yup, safety first, always. Before anyone throws anything, we run through our house rules: what you will be doing, what you must not do, and how we keep everyone safe. You can't skip this bit.
“
02
THE BASICS
The very beginning. Lots of people haven't tried axe throwing yet, so every session starts from scratch: how to hold and collect your axe, and what's actually going on when you throw.
03
ADVANCED THROWS
Fancy something a little more Thor? How about two at a time, or a flick up from your foot? Once you've nailed the basics, our instructors have all sorts of trick shots up their sleeves for you to try out.
04
THE BIG COMPETITION
Thought we'd let you off without a test? There's an axe crown with your name on it. No alliances, no besties, it's all versus all, and your instructor swaps coaching for keeping score.
05
PHOTO TIME
We take pictures of all our throwers. Not a stiff corporate portrait, though: all of you lined up next to your targets... with axes. Proof for when you're bragging about the crown.

Yes. We only throw with people over 16 years of age. As for an upper limit providing you’re happy, we are happy. Especially if you’re the 78 Year old grandma from Maine who taught us a throw or two.
-
Nope, but please make sure you wear sensible footwear. No open toes or high heels please, you’ll be moving around quite a bit as well as carrying axes. Also, it’s a good idea to wear something that’s easy to move freely in. We don’t want your fashion impeding your high score now do we?
-
Yes, you can. There are a couple of different ways you are able to do this:
Buy all of the tickets for a certain time slot so they are all yours and no one else can join
Get in touch with us directly to help with your requirements. This is the best option if you have a date in mind for the future. HIT. US. UP.

All of our sessions are 60 mins long and we try to fit as much in as we can. Sometimes, if the competition is a little too close, and there is a dead heat for the crown, we might call in a bit of extra time to see it through.
-
You need to arrive at your session in good time.
We recommend 15 minutes, 10 is ok, 5 is cutting it fine. 3 isn’t worth thinking about.
-
You need to arrive at your session in good time (did we say that?)
Seriously, it’s crucial you arrive on time, we have a lot to cover in our sessions, with the essential safety briefing right at the start. If you’re not there you’re holding up a group of people who have also paid for their time. We won’t have time to rewind and so reserve the right to forfeit your session if you are late.
-
We try to accommodate all abilities into our sessions. Each of our venues is fully wheelchair accessible from street to axe throwing lane. If you would like to ask any questions about accessibility or would like to know more about what’s involved please do get in touch.
-
We don’t allow spectators at any of our venue, aside from special events. That said if you need any help finding somewhere to go whilst a pal is throwing we would be more than happy to help.
-
We always recommend booking in advance so as to avoid disappointment at the door.
