- Jennifer B6 contributionsHad the best night!!!!Bought as a Christmas present for my boyfriend and now wondering what took us so long to get booked in. Had one of the THE best nights ever!!! From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome by Carl & Kat. The safety briefing put us at ease and Carl looked after us the entire time we were there. Correcting throwing positions, stance etc. We quickly got the hang of if and got competitive with the games he set up for us. It was warm work but he even set up a fan for me! Haven’t laughed so much in ages! Had the best time! The whole atmosphere of the place is spot on, playlists were excellent too and bf appreciated the American beer. Took some fab photos, especially on the throne and even managed to win a medal coming away victorious 3 games to 2 yay!!!!!! Cannot recommend Valhalla enough! Excellent value for money and being taught by such passionate and skilled people made a huge difference. We can’t wait to go back!!Visited September 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 27 September 2023
- MPHDarlington, United Kingdom2 contributionsBury the hatchet… in the target!Apart from her heart, Last Christmas my wife gave me a voucher for axe throwing at Valhalla. Long story short (basically involving me losing the voucher for 11 months and then finding it earlier this week), we booked on a whim! The booking process was modern and clean, much like the venue - really smart, great music and very welcoming staff. Our instructor was superb - clear instructions, patient and a good laugh too. Health and safety came first and foremost, and was followed by all attendees present. Over winter, I’d recommend wearing a jumper or hoodie as it was fairly cool indoors tonight. I would not hesitate to recommend this activity for team away days, date night, stag dos, hen parties, birthday parties etc etc - fun, safe and thoroughly embracing our Vikingr roots!Visited December 2023Travelled with familyWritten 15 December 2023
- KarpyCounty Durham, United Kingdom16 contributionsGreat fun!This was our second time at Valhalla North, we had never done axe throwing before coming here but now we are definitely hooked. We had Jess as our instructor for the session and she was really friendly and helpful. She gave us tips to improve and by the end most of us were managing to land a hit on the board - even hitting a few bullseyes! Would definitely recommend a visit if you’ve never tried it!Visited February 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 10 February 2024
- Leanne R2 contributionsAmazing private hire eventRecently booked and attended a private hire event at Valhalla North Axe Throwing booked for 50 people. Kat made the booking process very easy. The event was attended by a wide range of ages and a brilliant evening was had by all. Amazing staff and an amazing experience. I wouldn’t hesitate in booking again, I look forward to my next visit.Visited March 2024Travelled on businessWritten 30 March 2024
- Barry M1 contributionGreat experienceThis was my first time axe throwing and I loved it. The tutor was very helpful and even made the experience better by introducing games to play while throwing the axes. My daughter that I went with also loved itVisited August 2024Travelled with familyWritten 26 August 2024

Having visited here previous times before and how great Carl, kat and the staff are we decided to hold our wedding reception here ,and we could not have made a better decision. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone was safe and had an amazing time and they really did .... would highly recommend if you just want something that little bit different 😀

avelled over to Valhalla North from Cumbria for a a date night out and was not disappointed!!
The venue is great and well layed out and was warm even on a cold evening and spacious in current times.
The owners Carl and Caz are beyond incredible. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome and they were super helpful and friendly all the way through.
Carl has so much insight and knowledge that everyone can learn something from experienced raiders through to novice fun seeks.
I seriously couldn't recommend Valhalla North highly enough and encourage everyone to give it a go!

What a great afternoon we had at Valhalla Axe Throwing. There were seven of us in the group and we started off with a briefing and then it was on to the axe throwing, getting the technique right (every one was different).
Then we went through a series of games to improve our targeting. The grand finale was a competition between all of us, in pairs.
This is fantastic thing to do, give it a go tomorrow, you will love it.
Thanks Valhalla team!

Excellent afternoon. First time so not quite sure what to expect. All explained clearly and simply. Dan was our assigned ‘expert’ who was excellent and dealt extremely well with the whole party which ranged upwards from a 13 year old and included a 19 year old. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and suspect we will be back.

My boyfriend and I came for a very early Christmas present and it was honestly amazing! Carl was so helpful and friendly and we were getting the hang of it really quickly. It was members night when we went and even the members were very friendly, chatty and helpful. Can’t wait to come back! 🤟🏻

This is the second time I’ve been to Valhalla and I’ll definitely be back again.
Staff are fantastically friendly and get you settled and safe in no time. There are drinks and snacks available on site and the toilets are in a good state (important part of any review!).
We had a 90mins booking, which was perfectly timed - you find you don’t want to stay any longer because your arms and shoulders are getting tired, but the pacing of it is relaxed and you can always take your time with the throws. The games are challenging for beginners but not so hard that they’re impossible - again, perfectly pitched.
Having compared other axe throwing places in the area, Valhalla is definitely your best value for money. Often other places will only give you an hour for the same price or more, and the experience itself is worth every penny.
Thoroughly enjoyed the whole session and will definitely be back!

Absolute top quality service from the team at Valhalla North, couldn't have asked for a better first time at axe throwing. Liam our coach was amazing, giving us sound advice when needed but also having a laugh the entire time - which was needed with my appalling performance, ha! The owner Carl was awesome, and we loved having a chat after our session. You can genuinely tell the team are passionate about the sport and community of it all, so thank you to you all. We would 100% recommend this place, and we will definitely be back!

We can not find fault in this place at all. I messaged Carl on the off chance he would have a cancellation as it was fully booked on the website and we had travelled from the Isle of Wight to visit my partners kids. He opened up earlier for us to come, he was super informative, helpful and we had the best time. The boys haven’t stopped talking about it and want to come again already! Thank you so much for slotting us in. Teaching us how to throw axes and knives. We have had the best time at Valhalla North Axe Throwing.
If you visit one place whilst you’re up Durham .. this is the place to go! Worth every penny!

Came here to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday. The place looks great following their lockdown refurbs. Carl is number 1 in the UK and he shares his expertise with you all night. There’s quite a chilled vibe - not too much pressure - but you can still enjoy some healthy competition. A great way to unwind. Will definitely be going again.

Such an amazing experience. Lovely lovely staff who really care that you have the best time. Dan was looking after us and was brilliant and taught us how to improve our technique. This was my first time axe throwing and was loads of fun, would definitely recommend to anyone who's not tried it. Am going back without a doubt!
