About

Valhalla North is a family run business founded in 2019 by partners Carl & Kat. 

We have a passion for axe throwing and all things historical so naturally, a badass axe throwing centre with a Viking theme was born! The entire operation is built on passion and we pride ourselves on being as knowledgeable as possible, putting our best into everything we do and we will not be beaten on customer service or experience! 

We are very passionate about our local community and giving back to those who need a helping hand from time to time, we host regular charity events and each month we donate to local food banks.

We work with as many small local companies as possible, you can check them out on our affiliates page here!

It's the best place in the country to throw some axes, loose some arrows and sip down a cold beer (or a horn of mead).

COME GET YOUR VIKING ON!

Looking for something extra for your next event?

What's more badass than Axe Throwing?

Trick question... Nothing!

Book the Valkyrie (Mobile Axe Throwing Trailer) for your next party, corporate day, birthday, wedding, festival, fayre, open day, rally... you name it and we will bring Valhalla North to you!

Don't have room for a 20ft trailer? WE GOT YOU COVERED!

We also have an Inflatable axe throwing range and free standing targets which can be used for axe throwing AND archery! So we can cover any event or party no matter what space you have available! 

 

Your safety is our number one priority! We are the only axe throwing centre in the north of the country who are 'Visit England' affiliated which means our health, safety & hygiene standards are held to the highest level!

We are also a proud member of the IATF, (International axe throwing federation) Which means Valhalla North is the place to be for competitive axe throwing in the UK. The IATF has extremely stringent rules on safety which we are proud to meet and maintain on a daily basis! 

Valhalla North is fully accessible and meets all requirements for the disability equality act 2010.

We take great pride in everything we do and are more than happy to have a chat if you have any questions or concerns. Please don't hesitate to drop us an email; contact@valhallanorth.co.uk
