Axe Throwing at The No Work Club in Lincoln

Last summer we met our friends Laura and Martin in Lincoln and booked in to do some Axe Throwing for the first time. That was at The No Work Club. The venue also has an indoor Crazy Golf course.

You can often find minigolf and axe throwing at the same location. As competitive socialising venues have boomed in popularity new places are opening and offering a range of games and activities.

Bullseye!

There's axe throwing and an outdoor adventure golf course at the Go Wild centre in Haverhill, Suffolk. I swung by there last year too.

I've also had a go at an Axe Throwing arcade game!

It's an axe!

We did a bit of shopping in Asda this evening and I had a look at the Halloween section. There's some good stuff in stock, but I'm not sure about this item.

'Swashbuckling Pirate Sword' - or as it's more commonly known, an axe

Urban Axe Throwing at Whistle Punks in Manchester

The sport of urban axe throwing has hit Manchester.

We're always looking for new and interesting sports and games to play and on Friday we popped into Whistle Punks Urban Axe Throwing Arena at the Great Northern Warehouse while we were in Manchester for the Great City Games.

The lanes set up for some axe throwing

Chatting to the man there it sounds great fun and good value too, with an hour and a half of axe throwing for £20 per player off-peak. Check out the booking and FAQ pages on the Whistle Punks website for more info.

I do enjoy target sports. Over the years I've played darts and archery (and archery tag) and competed in bun throwing, Christmas tree throwing and egg throwing. I've played some variations of skittles and bowling too.

As well as the Manchester site you can throw some axes for fun at the London venue. There's also a brand new Birmingham location that opened this month.

It looks like a fun sport and would be brilliant for a 'do'.
