      Definitely coming again 10/10
      Such a fun experience for a first time shooter and an experienced shooter, catering for different difficulties. Would definitely go again, the staff were really helpful and friendly. Special thanks for Pete and Ollie! It was great to go during the weekday, less busy and enjoyable day out.

      Great day with unexpected bonus of discovering we could do it and were good.
      We went to celebrate my husbands 80th birthday and had a fantastic time. All staff were professional, the tutors helping you to achieve the best that you could. Loved the rifle shooting and knocking down the little ducks in a row, wide variety of types of shot to be taken here. The shotgun was a bit more tricky, however managed to hit the clays and always 'just missed' that rabbit. The axe and knife throwing took skill but was well worth the effort. The free tea and coffee helped the day go well and all the tutors (Ollie and Ethan or was that Nathan?) were amazing.

      Perfect introduction to clay shooting
      We attended as complete beginners having never fired a gun before so I wasn’t sure what to expect. We were greeted by friendly and approachable staff who created a welcoming environment for novices, patiently showing us how to safely operate the weaponry and get the best out of the session. The site is well run and organised and we had plenty of time at each station to get a feel for the various techniques we were being introduced to. There were some much more experienced members there too who were very friendly and happy to offer tips and advice to us. I highly recommend Polowood to anyone curious about clay shooting. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and will certainly be visiting again!

      Great experience for beginners!
      The whole experience was a very positive one. We had initially booked a couple of weeks ago but my hubby was poorly and had to go into hospital and very kindly we were allowed to re-schedule- so thanks very much for that. The instructors were all really good, I was actually quite scared but they were so calm and re-assuring. The instructions were clear and informative and because of this I was able to hit quite a few clays - I had not really anticipated hitting any at all - so that was a huge bonus. The addition of a welcome coffee/tea was lovely and set us up for our morning beautifully. We were lucky with the weather, grey but not windy or wet, and relatively mild for the time of year. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this activity - give it a go - you will enjoy it!

      So much fun
      The staff at Polowood were fantastic. Very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. We tried all four activities for an hour each. The day was very well organised and well run. I felt safe even when using live rounds in the shotguns which were always loaded by the staff members. I would highly recommend

      If you're contemplating it - Good fun great experience - Excellent value for money
      10 of us took part in the taster session, all ran smoothly, would have liked more time for sure. Great fun had by all, no injuries. Some instructors definitely more experienced than others. They need more instructors so call them if you're up for it , I would if I lived closer! Definitely look forward to going back when the next opportunity arises! Set in lovely surroundings, there may be a little noise from the shotguns so thanks to the neighbours for putting up with it, its a small price to pay. If you haven't been you should have a go I'm sure they'll give you a neighbours discount, they are a nice bunch!

      Excellent 2 hour archery experience with Dave the instructor. We wanted to try something different and booked this up. It was excellent and friendly from the moment we arrived and were greeted in the car park, the mini bus ride up to the shooting ground and the welcome on site. Dave was a fantastic instructor, patient and helpful and with his guidance we definitely improved. Highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to try something a bit different and fun. Just to add Polowood was good value and a better price compared to many we researched.

      A really special place in a stunning countryside setting. I have been twice with my two sons for air rifle shooting and archery. I was really impressed at the professional, yet relaxed, atmosphere. Staff were so friendly and welcoming and great with my autistic boys. My sons can't wait to return and I am very happy to support this business. Highly recommend.

      First timers and highly recommend!
      The crew were very accommodating for our group (15) and took us through the necessary training/instructions for us to have a great time! Quite a few of us were first timers and came away thinking "we should definitely come back" and that "we'll be better next time". A great laugh and a lot of fun!

      'The Archers'
      My friend and I had never experienced archery before, but after Gary's training, we felt confident that we would eventually hit the bullseye 🎯. ....and we did! From the booking to the event itself, all went like clockwork - we were given such a friendly welcome plus a free cup of tea (or coffee) 😁. If you've never tried archery before - this is a great venue to learn. Lots of other activities are available too e.g. axe throwing, clay pigeon, shooting range etc.

      It was a great decision to try a tasting session. I had a fantastic time! They picked us up with a van from the designated location. We were greeted with warm drinks :). The staff is extremely kind, and the instructors are amazing. Four hours of fun. Would I go again? Absolutely yes. It's quite therapeutic and helps with focus.I recommend it.

      Cannot recommend this place enough. We did the 50 clay pigeon shooting and Pip was absolutely amazing; so patient, knowledgable and friendly! I’m a complete beginner and I started the lesson completely missing the clays to ending the session with beating my boyfriend! We will definitely be returning!

    Absolutely fantastic! Such a friendly team running a fun and rewarding experience! We were picked up from the car park by mini bus and taken on a bumpy and shaky ride to the centre which was possibly the highlight of my 14 year old's trip! We were offered tea and coffee to start and given a safety talk. The children, aged 10, 13, 14, 16 & 17 were given ample opportunity to throw their axes safely with supervision while the grown ups threw their axes and knives separately. I had a great time and felt happy and satisfied by the end of our hour. Definitely going again to throw axes but would also love to try shooting and archery too! Thank you very much, highlight of our half term break!

    Wow what a great place to enjoy the outdoor activities we booked (axe throwing & archery). We were picked up in a mini van to take us to the activity area (to save on our car suspension as the roads were bumpy). Had a great warm welcome by all the instructors when we got out of the van. We were then ushered into the warm to have tea & coffee with sweet treats, all in the house. Then our instructor took us over to our first activity (axe throwing) we had Gab and he was brilliant. He was so attentive and wanted to help us get the best experience possible. He gave us each one on one training till we all managed to hit our targets. Great range of axes, knives and ninja like stars things. Gab was very engaging and funny, he joined in with all our bantz. Then we had archery next with Nathan who was so much fun. He allowed us to enjoy the experience fully by giving us great tips and tricks . This enabled us to get closer to hitting the bullseye, in fact many did in my group by the end of the session. We were very grateful he let us shoot and have fun rather than getting caught up on technic but if you was interested he took the time to explain and show you. All round great experience even down to booking the event with Paula, who was so sweet.
    I don’t live locally but I’ll visit again when next in the area and I’ll bring more friends and family. Also wanted to add that the facilities are all nice and clean! Thank you to everyone who help make my visit a great one( I’m sure there were people in the back ground too I didn’t see) Definitely 5 star service on everything, keep up the great work.

    We came for a hen party weekend, and we had the best time! Nathan was fantastic, such a good instructor. We did axe throwing which also included knife throwing and shooting. The setting was gorgeous too, such beautiful countryside right outside Brighton. Staff are super friendly and accomodating. 100% recommend.

    Myself and 5 friends went axe throwing over the weekend as part of a hen weekend in Brighton, and we had such a lovely time. We waited in the car park to be picked up to go to the site, and they arrived in a mini bus bang on time. Upon arrival to the site everyone was so friendly and welcoming and more than happy to chat to us.

    The axe throwing was so much fun, we were given a briefing and then told to have a go ourselves, with the instructor coming round and giving tips and help as felt it was needed. With his help we all managed to pick it up quickly, and get the axes in the board. We did axe, knife and double headed axe throwing and felt so safe the whole time we were there.

    It is an easy taxi ride from the sea front to Polowood.

    Will definitely visit it again when in Brighton again.

    My girlfriend surprised me with axe throwing and air rifle shooting for a date day, had an amazing time especially with axes. The staff were great with us, encouraging and great at teaching us. I would encourage people to come by car if possible as its hard to get taxis out there to pick you up. I struggle with panic attacks when I feel trapped and upon realising it could be a struggle to get out I began to feel one coming on but the staff instantly came to reassure me and offered a lift into the village after where I could get a bus home from. Olly was great with the shooting, Nathan and his son showed me a lot with the axe throwing, and Nathan is the one who gave me a lift back out and checked I'm with me every now and again to make sure I was OK with getting out that way along with a bald gentleman whose name I didn't get who checked on me and reassured me too. All in all 11/10 experience and will be back.

    This was such a fun activity to do and we had a great time. The staff are very friendly and make you feel very welcomed. Our instructor was so easy going and very knowledgeable. He explained how to do it really well whilst also giving us the freedom to just try it out. I will definitely be going back to try out more of the activities and would highly recommend to others to try out. Thanks for a great day out.

    Had an hour of axe throwing today. Great day, Nathan was keen to teach us the safety of each range first, but then just let us get on with it. As well as the hatchets, he showed us how to throw knives, tomahawks and a great big battle axe, then went round helping the group improve our techniques. They also do shooting and archery, and we could have happily stayed longer if they hadn't been fully booked. At the end of our session, Nathan was a total legend and gave us a lift to the local pub in the minibus. Would heartily recommend this activity centre to those who want to blow off a little steam and have some good laughs.

    We did the axe-throwing session and loved it! Jack was a great instructor, really friendly and helped us improve in a short amount of time. It's so satisfying when you get the axe in the wood, it feels like you're in an episode of Game of Thrones. You get straight to it so there's lots of time to actually do it, and you to try lots of different weapons in just an hour.
    The grounds are really well kitted out and very neat. We were offered tea and coffee before we started and there's a toilet.
    Would really recommend - and we would definitely do it again, maybe with the shooting as well next time!

    We had a brilliant time axe throwing at Polowood. Our instructor Nathan was excellent, a really good teacher who made us feel completely safe. The setting is beautiful, and the activities are well organised; we got to throw axes, knives, and even a double headed axe.

    There's a lot of space so even though there were other groups it felt Covid-safe. Toilets were decent and clean, tea and coffee are provided and you can also buy snacks.

    Thanks to all the staff for making this the highlight of our friends' hen weekend. Wish we'd booked archery and shooting too!

    We were first timers to axe throwing and it won’t be our last! Excellent staff, friendly and engaging. A range of sharp things to throw from hatchets, knives and medieval axes to larger axes that take two hands to throw. We would recommend for a couple of larger group.
