Why archery and axe throwing works So Well for team building
What happens on the day
The Archery and Axe Throwing experience typically lasts around 2 1/2 hours and offers great value for teams. It can be hosted at a Peak District venue or delivered as a mobile experience at a location that suits you.

This includes:
- A warm welcome and overview of the experience
- Group organisation to keep the session flowing smoothly

Once everyone is ready, your team will rotate through the activities, with plenty of time to practise, improve and enjoy the experience.
Archery and Axe Throwing
Archery and axe throwing are instructor-led outdoor activities designed to be accessible, engaging and a lot of fun for groups of all abilities.
Your team will take part in both activities as part of a structured session, with expert guidance throughout.
Archery
Step into the world of traditional archery and learn how to handle a bow with confidence. With guidance from experienced instructors, your team will quickly pick up the basics and enjoy the challenge of hitting the target.
Axe Throwing
One of the fastest-growing outdoor activities, axe throwing is all about technique, precision and a bit of trial and error. With expert tips and encouragement, it doesn’t take long before your team starts landing some impressive shots.
The experience lasts around 2½ hours, making it a great half-day option. For larger groups, we’ll split you into teams to keep things moving and engaging, with plenty of guidance along the way. If you’d like, we can also build in some friendly competition to bring out the team spirit.
At a venue or as a mobile activity
One of the biggest advantages of this experience is its flexibility.

We’ll work with you to find the right setup, ensuring everything is safe, well-organised and tailored to your space.
