9 of us ladies attended the axe throwing and archery for a hen do. All of us had an amazing time, and really enjoyed the experience. Instructors Ben, Joe & Ian made the activities even more enjoyable with their welcoming personalities, and big smiles! I felt that they enjoyed their jobs, and it really made a difference. All 9 of us ladies said how we would love to come again (and we are a very diverse group!)

Axe throwing was far more FUN than we thought it would be!! The owner took our group for an hour's session, teaching us how to throw over-arm, under-arm, Viking style over the head and simultaneous two-axe throws. Our instructor was very encouraging, funny and made us all feel at ease!

Chose to do the Quad biking, ax throwing and archery for my stag do. It only listed it with 30 minutes quad bikes and then the other 2 activities without time, so was expecting about an hour and a half or maybe 2 if breaks in between, instead it was a solid 3 hours of activities! The guys leading the activities were great, really easy to talk to and lots of banter!
Can't recommend this place enough!

Had an excellent time here for a stag party. We did clay shooting and off-road driving. Both activities were excellent fun. The instructor for the shooting was extremely knowledgeable and and great at explaining how to safely shoot the shotgun. Would highly recommend this to others thinking of visiting.
