Our family had a great session at Maniax today. Ivy, our axe throwing coach gave great advice so we could land our axes. It was a fun afternoon trying something new. Would recommend.

Amazing place for some fun. I’ve always wanted to try out axe throwing and finally found a friend to go with me. Although o made the bookings for a wrong day, they are so wonderful to accomodate us when we turned up. Great fun, good experts showing us how to throw and axe and keeping us entertained. Definitely coming back again.

Oh my gosh this was fantabulous!!! So much fun, I can’t wait to go again!! We had an hour of throwing time which included some delicious pizza, drinks and Bret (one of the staff) helping us / harshly judging our throws… 😂 he was absolutely hilarious and so great at his job!! After being shown how to throw, he left us to our own devices to throw to our heart’s content! There was an optional scoring sheet too so you can get competitive although we found it amusing enough just trying to get the axe to stick in the board (which did happen sometimes!) 😂 I highly recommend trying it out !! Absolutely axe-tastic!!! Thanks so much for the wonderful night!! 🥳🔥🪓

A fun family Christmas activity where everyone was a little nervous to start. We’d highly recommend this experience. Jamie was the most amazing host and coach. He really helped to make our experience an awesome one. Plenty of fun banter and a touch of healthy family competition, as Jamie set up the games and handled all the scoring. So well organised and safe. Anyone can do this!

What a fun experience! We went during the day, so it wasn't busy, and we were given a safety briefing and personal training in the best ways to throw different axes. They have a wristband system for the participants that were partaking in alcohol (3 drink limit for sharp implements 😆). Recommend sneakers or boots, otherwise you are made to wear seriously NON-SEXY gumboots. Recommend!
