Axe Throwing
Discover the thrill of Axe Throwing. Our instructed sessions are available for School Trips, Residential Trips, and Youth Trips, offering a fun and engaging experience for all participants.
Activity information
Axe Throwing is exactly as satisfying as it sounds. There's a proper thunk when the blade hits the target, a bit of technique to master, and plenty of friendly competition between teammates trying to out-throw each other. It's accessible straight away — no experience needed — but there's enough skill involved to keep everyone hooked.
Our qualified instructors run the session from start to finish, covering safety, technique, and the all-important scoring. It's a brilliant activity for groups looking for something a bit different, and the kind of thing that tends to get talked about long after the session's over.
