UKAO @ AVON VALLEY 

Great experience at Avon Outdoor Activities Axe Throwing!

This was a fun and memorable activity.  From the moment we walked in, the instructor was welcoming and clearly passionate about what he does. He explained everything step by step, made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe, and had us sticking axes in the target way faster than expected.

The atmosphere was  and fun without feeling overwhelming—perfect for beginners and competitive friends. The instructor was encouraging. and great at giving tips that actually worked.

If you’re looking for something unique, exciting, and surprisingly stress-relieving, axe throwing here is recommended

Some of the crew from UK Active Outdoors were providing axe throwing and archery at Thornbury Castle where we were staying on boxing day. They were super friendly and lots of fun. We had a wonderful time! Thank you so much!

Great place for outdoor activities like archery, axe throwing, canoeing, bow paintball and sword fighting (padded) - there is more but I could not remember it all. The site is ran by two very passionate lads -  Simon and Tristan. They cater and adapt the site offering - from kid friendly caving, archery and scavenger hunts (with plenty to show and teach the kids about local flora and fauna), through special needs offering for range of disabilities like wheelchair archery, or more energetic activities for stag and hen parties (to burn some energy or find inner wild child before the evening debouchery 😉). And frankly for anyone in between. It may look rough around the edges, but it is the exact raw and dirty fun you and/or your kids need. It was a breath of fresh air (literally) after hours spent with my kiddo at indoor soft play venues in the past. But at the same time it felt safe, it felt well though through and it felt personable. Suffice to say, my kid was knackered at the end with more than a few grass and mud stains I had to explain to my wife, but on the way back she said she had an amazing time and wants to go back, after which she fell asleep, which in itself is worth every penny 😁
