    Awesome!
    My mother and I went here on our last day in Edinburgh. We were welcomed by Hannah and Emi, who were wonderful hosts. Axe throwing was the activity my mother was looking the least forward to, but ended up being one of her favourite experiences from the whole trip! We had a great time! Thank you so much Hannah and Emi for the fun and laughter!

    Thrilling
    Super friendly and really fun experience. Tom showed demonstrated all the different throws and trick shots briefly then there was plenty time to get the hang of it. Also loved the idea of the non alcoholic bar with lots of interesting options. Would definitely go back.

    Fantastic Team Night Out
    A fantastic team building activity that was fun, different, enjoyable and really enabled us to let off steam. James was a fantastic host and very engaging in his teaching (as well as kind and patient with those of us that took a little longer to get to grips with it). So much fun working through techniques, practices and then concluding with a competition! Great music, great fun and a super bar with the largest and best non-alcoholic selection I have ever seen which was really refreshing. Would definitely recommend and will almost certainly return!

    Had a great time axe throwing, the Edinburgh team were amazing, Hannah had some great tips for improving our throws and the competition was lots of fun. Would recommend to anyone looking for a fun activity with some healthy competition thrown in!

    Very cool date
    Booked in for a date day with my partner. Morgan and August were fantastic instructors, really friendly and professional. The space is really cool, there was a great playlist. And even if you are a bit rubbish at throwing axes you feel like a bad ass every time you get one to bury itself into the target. So much fun, I really recommend it.

    Fabulous, give it a go!
    I didn’t have high expectations, thought it would be a nice experience for my granddaughter. However, we both absolutely loved it. The staff were very good at explaining/demonstrating each technique and provided lots of encouragement and support. Also, it’s a brilliant way to get any anger out of your system 😀

    Good but little disappointing
    Didn't appreciate being put into group of people we didn't come with for a wee competition. Otherwise fun and different wee activity, friendly staff and great tunes.

    Axecellent Time!
    I booked on for my birthday with my partner and we had an absolutely awesome time. Brendan made the experience super fun and gave useful tips on how to improve throws. Awesome tunes playing too which helped get in the axe throwing zone! If you’re visiting Edinburgh I highly recommend checking these guys out. Would definitely go again the next time we visit Edinburgh.

    Embraced my inner viking!
    I visited on new years eve with my partner and we had a great time. The space is a little tricky to find but once you are there the space has a cabin like feel. Our host Jay was really down to earth and worringly good at throwing axes. We shared the booking with a family of 6 but didnt feel like outsiders and Jay brought us all together. I really enjoyed it, felt safe and have never done anything quite like it before. It's a bit like big boy archery!

    Barry should be employee of the month!
    Axe throwing in Edinburgh was so much fun! Barry was our instructor and honestly he made the experience so much better. I feel like he made it fun, he taught us different techniques and had a laugh in the process. Would definitely do it again when we next visit. Thank you so much for creating such an awesome activity. If you are planning on visiting Edinburgh and are looking for things to do book yourself in, you will not regret it.

    Brilliant activity!
    We did this as a group of 6 friends on the afternoon of New Year's Eve. Our instructors Lizzie and Hayleigh were superb and showed us several different throwing methods before putting us into teams for a light hearted competition. Excellent fun. Good value for money. Would definitely recommend!

We came as a group of 12 and had a really fun time. Everyone got to throw plenty of axes, learning different throwing styles and then having a mini competition!

The staff were super friendly on emails when booking and amazing on the day. Really welcoming, helpful and up for a laugh.

No safety issues at all, as you would expect.

Definitely recommend, great way to kill an hour with something affordable and a bit different!

The venue was easy to find with friendly staff and a nice bar area to wait in before our session. The staff did really good demonstrations as well as feedback throughout the session and a fun contest at the end. Only negatives was that it was a bit hot and the loud music would sometimes make it difficult to hear guidance.

Thanks for the review, Andrew! We're glad you enjoyed the session! Yes, the heat definitely took us all by surprise. We're not used to that sort of thing here in the frigid north!

I took my partner axe throwing as a unique activity for his birthday. We enjoyed it much more than we thought. The trainer was super attentive and made sure we both felt comfortable. Especially me who was pretty terrible to start but I was soon trained up and was able to draw with my partner so that's a big win! I'd highly recommended.

This was one of the highlights from our trip as it was not something we had done before. The instructor was very friendly and professional. I would recommend to allow some time for this on your trip to Edinburgh. It's a little tricky to find as it is in what we thought was a private courtyard. We later discovered there is a main entrance to the courtyard through a building but we entered through a gate at the rear of the premises.

Went with the girls from work, had a great time. Lots of helpful tips from the lads there showing us how to hit the right wall and how not to cut our own toes off. Inner Vikings became evident pretty quickly and we enjoyed the competitive element at the end. Thoroughly stress reducing, great atmosphere and tunes, we will definitely go back.

We had the BEST time! It was the perfect way to end our holiday in Scotland. Full of fun, laughter and a completely new and exciting experience!! We would highly recommend and are excited to do more and more axe activities/sessions with this team. The instructor was super friendly and had great taste in music :P.
5*+++++, it is not one to give a miss!
We felt very safe the whole time and loved the thrill.

Thanks so much for the review! It was lots of fun having you, and I maintain that you can't beat axes and disco! So glad you enjoyed your trip and that we could round it off for you with a bang!

What great fun this is! We were met with a warm welcome, filled in the disclaimer then got started! Staff member was brilliant, very friendly and explained everything in detail but also gave us plenty time to throw some axes!! The venue as a whole is set up brilliantly with an area to sit and chill too. Would highly recommend Black Axe Throwing

Had a really fun couple of hours learning to throw axes! The instructors (Jeebs, Morgan and Hannah) were on hand to help us hone the craft, gave us loads of tips and didn’t judge my cack handed (that’s a technical term) attempts. We even learned some very impressive trick shots! I didn’t win the competition, but made sure I scored some points for my flair.

The bar has a crazy selection of reasonably priced, non alcoholic beers. The staff are super friendly, funny and provide tonnes of encouragement. Hopefully we’ll be back to try the escape room soon!

I had guests visiting and was so glad to have such a fun activity to do, it went down really well and everyone enjoyed themselves! My boyfriend now wants to give up everything to be a professional axe-thrower...I had a great time, but it takes me a little bit more time to practice than we were really able to squeeze in, so I felt my skills were a bit hit and miss. I'd love the chance to have say 10 throws one after another until I can get a real feel for it. Nevertheless as an activity for guests 100% this is great!

We had a great time throwing axes. Our host was helpful and made it entertaining. The competition section bought out competitive spirit and everyone was cheering eachother on.
Was a bit surprised at first we were with other groups. I thought we would be on our own. But that may be my misreading of the website

Thanks for the review! We're so glad you enjoyed it. Sorry if there was any confusion about there being others in the session. It very much depends on the size of the groups, but we do our best to make sure everyone has enough room and feels safe.
