A new activity since 2018 is Axe Throwing. Bring out the Lumberjack in you by learning to throw axes. In our specially built axe throwing range with our experienced instructors we will show you how to hit the target every time.
We can even do it at night time with our special lighting!
This activity is best for older age groups 11+, due to the weight of the axes.
The risk assessments for all of our activities are in the resources section of the website https://www.carltonlodge.org.uk/resources
