Axe Throwing Sessions in Cheltenham

The minimum age for axe throwing is 10 years. We have found that young people are often very capable at picking up the basics of throwing with some initial instruction, which makes it a fun activity for children and teens alike.

Anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an adult throughout the session. This ensures both safety and support, helping younger participants feel confident while learning a new skill.

We do not operate a full bar on site. However, we do provide a well-stocked fridge with a selection of soft drinks and alcohol-free beers, so participants can enjoy refreshments before or after their session.

For those booking exclusive sessions, it may be possible to bring in your own alcohol with a small charge. We recommend this is kept to moderate drinking, ideally towards the end of the session, to maintain safety while participating.

Currently, our venue is located on the first floor, which requires climbing a flight of stairs. This unfortunately makes it challenging for wheelchair users and those with limited mobility to access the throwing area.

We are aware of this limitation and hope to improve accessibility in the future. In the meantime, we recommend considering alternative arrangements or checking with us directly for any possible support options.

Axe throwing is a skill that varies from person to person. Some participants pick it up quickly, while others take a little longer to find their rhythm and accuracy. Most people manage to throw confidently within an hour-long session, which is enough to have a very enjoyable experience.

Even if someone does not become a world-class thrower immediately, the session is designed to be fun and engaging. By the end, participants will have learned the basics and be able to hit targets consistently enough to enjoy the activity safely.

Throwing axes carries an inherent risk, but it is recognised as a worldwide sport with very few accidents. At our venue, we have implemented strict safety measures, including clear rules and supervised throwing lanes, to reduce the chance of harm.

It is essential that all participants follow instructions carefully. So far, we have had no injuries and expect to maintain this record, ensuring a secure environment for everyone taking part.

We advise against consuming alcohol in excess before or during axe throwing. Alcohol can impair coordination and judgement, making it unsafe to throw an axe. Participants deemed unsafe to throw may be asked to leave the session.

For private bookings, bringing in your own alcohol is possible with a small charge. In these cases, moderate drinking towards the end of the session is acceptable, but safety always remains the top priority.

Closed-toe shoes are strongly recommended to protect your feet in case an axe is dropped. High heels or unstable footwear are not suitable, as they can increase the risk of accidents during throwing.

Aside from footwear, there are no special clothing requirements. Some participants enjoy wearing lumberjack-style shirts for fun, but these are entirely optional. Comfortable, casual clothing is ideal for getting the most out of your session.

It is important to arrive promptly at the time indicated on your booking confirmation. Early arrivals cannot enter the venue if a previous session is still in progress, as we do not have a separate reception area.

Arriving on time ensures your session can start smoothly and gives the instructor time to brief your group properly. Late arrivals may disrupt the schedule, so planning your journey in advance is recommended.
