Address: 95 Union St
Operating Hours:
- Tuesday to Friday – 4:30 PM to 9:30 PM
- Saturday – 10 AM to 7:15 PM
- Sunday – 11 AM to 4 PM
At Hatchet Harrys, I tried the 90-minute session, which was great for beginners, and it cost from £23.50 per person. The instructors walked us through two basic throws, and then we had a fun competition, finishing off with trick shots, like throwing two axes at once.
It’s a family-friendly spot with a minimum age of 8, though under-18s need an adult. Whether you’re with a small group or a larger crowd, they can accommodate between 2 and 32 people, making it easy to book for any event.
The activity is accessible to most, and the team is open to discussing any specific needs. If you can lift your arm overhead, you’ll likely be good to go, and they’re happy to chat about options on social media or via their support page.
Pro Tips:
- Bookings close 6 hours before the session starts to ensure there’s enough staff available. If you’re trying to book last minute, check social media for any last-minute availability.
- Since they don’t take deposits, make sure to pay the full amount when booking. This ensures your spot is confirmed, as they can’t reserve spaces for you otherwise.
