Axe throwing is one of the newest additions at Yorkshire Outdoor Activity Park and has quickly become one of our most popular activities. Located between York, Selby, and Leeds, the park offers a purpose built axe throwing experience designed to be safe, structured, and genuinely enjoyable for beginners and experienced throwers alike.
Every activity we run is tested by our own team first. We play the events, refine the setup, and only open them for booking once we are confident they deliver a high quality experience from start to finish.
What to Expect from an Axe Throwing Session
Every axe throwing session begins with a full safety briefing delivered by a qualified instructor. You will be shown exactly how to stand, how to grip the axe, and how to throw correctly and safely.
Once everyone is comfortable:
- You will move into guided practice throws
- Technique is refined and adjusted for each participant
- The session finishes with a structured competition
The competition element is where things really come alive, with accuracy and consistency deciding the winner rather than strength.
Expert Instruction You Can Trust
All instructors have been trained by the UK’s world champion knife thrower. This means instruction goes beyond basic safety and covers technique, control, and improvement.
Whether it’s your first throw or you want to tighten your grouping, you will be coached properly throughout the session.
A Purpose Built Axe Throwing Range
The axe throwing range is designed to feel like a woodland setting while remaining fully covered, so weather never spoils the experience.
Each throwing bay:
- Is individually separated
- Uses steel mesh for safety
- Allows clear focus without distraction
This setup creates a relaxed but controlled environment where everyone can enjoy the activity confidently.
Who Axe Throwing Is Perfect For
Axe throwing is ideal for:
- Friends and social groups
- Team building events
- Stag and hen parties
- Anyone wanting a focused but fun activity
It works particularly well as a standalone session or as part of a multi activity day.
Combine Axe Throwing with Other Activities
Many groups choose to combine axe throwing with another activity. A popular option is starting with something high energy like airsoft, then finishing with axe throwing for a more relaxed competitive challenge.
If you want to mix activities, the team can help plan the day to suit your group.

Axe throwing at Yorkshire Outdoor Activity Park is designed to be safe, engaging, and genuinely memorable. With expert instruction, a well designed range, and a clear session structure, it offers an experience that works just as well for first timers as it does for confident throwers.
