description: This exciting 1-hour activity is perfect for parties and group events, offering a chance to learn the thrilling art of axe throwing. Inspired by ancient warriors—from medieval knights and Vikings to Native American tribes skilled in tomahawk throwing—this experience brings history to life in a fun and engaging way.
The session kicks off with an introduction to the fundamentals of safely and accurately throwing lightweight axes at wooden roundel targets from a distance of 3 meters. Everyone will get a feel for the technique before moving on to larger, more challenging axes, which offer a deeply satisfying throw.
To wrap up, the group will compete in a friendly, scored competition using tournament target boards.

You just need to be dressed to spend the hour outdoors (there is a roof over the throwing area).
