Axe throwing
Channel your inner lumberjack. Originally used as a tool to hunt and build shelter, the art of throwing axes has now evolved into a popular and growing sport. Forged Axe Throwing on Yates Street offers an energetic team-building experience with expert coaching. Ideal for groups of up to 75, events range from one-hour sessions, 90-minute private sessions or a full three-hour venue buyout, complete with tournament-style competitions and personalized instruction at every lane. The venue is licensed to serve beer, cider and coolers, and it offers pizza from Prima Strada pizzeria with the option to bring in outside food.
Dart Nouveau
A revival of this classic pub sport is driven by a combination of factors, including accessibility, its social nature and the opportunities for team and community building. Darts provides a great opportunity for social interaction and camaraderie, plus it has a lengthy list of hilarious terminology. For instance, “bag of nails” refers to hitting the 1s with all three of your darts. Pubs and other venues are contributing to the revival by incorporating dedicated dart areas and traditional dartboards into their spaces. Drop in to a local sports-, English- or Irish-style pub nearby or join a league for more competitive play.
