What Can I Expect

Try axe throwing in Tunbridge Wells! Have a go at chucking axes into wood targets on a one-hour taster session. No experience needed and no need to have the physique of a lumberjack, anyone can learn to axe throw!

If you're in the Kent, South London, East Sussex areas, this centre near Tunbridge Wells is easy to get to. It's between Pembury and Lamberhurst, just off the A21. A few minutes of country lane driving and you'll arrive at basecamp.

Your activity hosts will greet you and tell you all you need to know about handling axes, the safety aspects and what to expect from your initiation session. Guests tell us they love the fact that everything is well-organised - and how friendly everyone at this Tunbridge Wells venue is too.

As you move over to the axe throwing area, you'll notice there are several lanes. That means multiple people can throw at the same time, so you won't be waiting long for your turn.

When you're up, remember what your host told you about your stance. Think about how you pick up the axe. Arm back and lift that gleaming axe to the right spot. A calming deep breath and then bring your arm forward and release…

With any luck, you'll be jumping for joy, having heard that satisfying ‘thud' when the blade wedges into that wood. Or maybe it'll be the ‘thump' of the axe falling unceremoniously on the floor? Hit or miss, you'll realise that, from your first throw, it's a totally cool thing to do!

Overall, your axe throwing experience near Tunbridge Wells lasts an hour. In that time you'll have thrown both Tomahawk and Traditional axes, with a mix of challenges and competitions. Buy your vouchers online now!
