- Sophia T1 contributionFull day of funI went on a work trip and as a group done Axes, crossbows, rifles, pistols and the hover force. It was a full day of fun. Our instructor's name was Rob; he was great, he knew the whole group's names by the end.Visited October 2023Travelled on businessWritten 21 October 2023
- Priya P6 contributionsBest day ever!What an amazing day! It’s the ideal place to have fun and participate in a multi activity day! Live rifles shooting, axes, arches. Crossbows, pistols, and the hover force. The fun is endless and for both girls and guys! Rob and the team are amazing and also make the experience! Thank you guysVisited October 2023Travelled on businessWritten 21 October 2023
- Paul W23 contributionsGreat fun, some minor issuesWe booked axe throwing and archery for my stag do, and it was an excellent couple of hours. Tom was a great host and made sure that things were done safely. We all enjoyed ourselves, with our varying abilities. A couple of minor drawbacks were some of the equipment was a bit tired and we were also a bit short of axes with the other group there as well. It looks as though there are plans to roof the areas we were in, and this would definitely improve the experience. Luckily the rain kept away for us. All in all, a good experience and would have another go there, possibly with shooting etc.Visited October 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 24 October 2023
- DorisChester, United Kingdom18 contributionsBrilliant day out for a laugh!A group of 6 of us went on the karts…. All 40+ We had such a good laugh, it was rainy and muddy which I think was better! The three lads that looked after us were great, I can only remember Bailey but the other two were just as good! Highly recommend to blow the cob webs away and have a laugh.Visited November 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 4 November 2023
- Eff32 contributionsGreat fun activityWe all really enjoyed the hovercraft experience - we being a 56 year old woman and 2 twenty something year old lads. We had enough time to practice on the course, skilfully instructed by Luca, and then did a timed lap. Great fun.Visited September 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 9 November 2023
- R D4 contributionsHen and Stag doWhat a fabulous afternoon having a go at crossbow shooting. Jake was a great instructor making sure we all knew what to do. Loads of laughing and a really enjoyable afternoon. I would definitely recommend this experience.Visited November 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 10 November 2023
- Chris4 contributionsRebel rally!!Thoroughly enjoyed our visit today to do the rebel rally!! Bailey was our instructor for the session, he was very friendly and chatty while maintaining good professionalism making the nervous one of us feel very comfortable. Definitely recommend having a go and optioning for double up!!Visited November 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 11 November 2023
- Jordii16Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom31 contributionsExcellent fun at Axe ThrowingExcellent time doing axe throwing in October. Our instructor Tom was incredible and very helpful. He gave clear instructions and we all had so much fun. Easy to book, great activity and time flew by, highly recommend - thank you.Visited October 2023Travelled with familyWritten 17 November 2023
- Charles D1 contributionAmazing time dirt karting!!!Had a amazziinng time dirt karting on our first visit to Hover Force, which will certainly not be our last! We arrived in good time and were met by Andy, who was friendly and informative. We spoke about how the venue can cater to small groups such as ours, as well as large corporate events. We got a coffee whilst we waited and my mate’s, who stupidly hadn’t thought to bring spare clothes to a DIRT karting experience, were able to buy a disposable overall. We also had time for a guided tour of what Hover Force has to offer: karting/buggies/hover crafts/archery/axe throwing/shooting. There may be more that I have forgotten, but this place is siiiiick!! When it was our turn Andy escorted us to the track and introduced us to Jake, who was equally welcoming. Jake was very knowledgeable and clear in his instruction and in no time we were safely on our way around the drenched dirt track! It was SO much fun and I cannot recommend this enough. Top stuff! Once we were done I was able to change and shower off the muck that I was covered in. Will definitely be going back 👏🏼Visited November 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 19 November 2023
- Tour443317223551 contributionStagA group of 12 of us stags visited Hover Force this past weekend. We were looked after from start to finish and enjoyed the activities the venue had to offer. Special mention to Bailey who looked after the buggy activity. He pulled one of the stag party out of a deep puddle.

Me and my partner visited Hover force today to do the firing range activity. What a brilliant experience we were not disappointed. We have played a lot of call of duty and always wanted to fire actual guns but where we live there's only really clay pigeon shooting with shotguns.
It's a little tricky to get to but it's fairly well signposted. Luckily we were the only two there so had a really good amount of time with the instructor, I'm not sure if that's standard or not. He went through all the safety aspects, how to safely load and unload the gun etc. Then the competition between me and my partner begun! We had four rounds of different objectives and got to take home the cards which we were aiming at which I've attached the pictures of mine. We also recieved feedback as we were firing and the instructor was there for assistance to help us correct our aim if required.
Overall a really good experience, we will definitely be back to try the other options. Just wish there was one of these in our area!

We had a great time at Hover Force on Saturday. My son and I had been given a voucher at Christmas for Hovercraft racing and had been looking forward to this for ages.
Our instructor (Alistair) was brilliant, explained how to use the hovercraft safely but with good humour and in a way both of us could follow (my son is 7).
We had a second instructor on the day who stayed in the craft with my son (Harry) - thanks to you too.
The only downside of the experience is that my son is better than me :-)
We will definitely return and would highly recommend this experience to others.

Visited today, and it was brilliant. Staff were particularly welcoming and knew about what they were doing. Thomas on the bikes ensured we were safe and tom on the hovercrafts used the use of microphones to communicate on a big track which was very useful. The value for money is brilliant and there is plenty of options with really good shooting facilities, hovercrafts and dirt bikes. Would highly recommended for a day out

Got a voucher for christmas off a family member. Booked in with my brother for hovercraft time trials, rebel rally 2 seater and axe throwing and it only cost me an extra fiver for all that. Honestly had the best time. Hovercrafts were funny and challenging, axe throwing was hilarious but the rebel rally buggy was the stand out star, it was absolutely thrilling. Tom (the instructor) looked after us for the buggy and axe throwing. His instructions were simple and straight forward and if you listen to him you will get the best out of each activity. He had little funny stories to tell you and was happy to take a picture or if you were well behaved and made his job easy he might even give you an extra lap or two in the rebel rally buggy. Cant reccomend this enough. Great experience.

For our sons birthday all five of us (two adults, 16yr, 8yr and 7yr) did the hovercraft and rally/buggy driving.
Such an amazing experience had by all, there were constant smiles and screams of joy from the children...and adults. The staff were so welcoming and friendly, we felt totally at ease doing something we’ve never done before.
Special thanks to Alistair, Jake and Harry for making the children feel so at ease.
Great day out come rain or shine...we had lots of rain and mud which made the experience even more fun.

We did hovercrafting for 3 kids. They enjoyed it and I'm sure it will stay in their memories, but £50pp for 4 laps of the course felt steep to me. Each lap about 2 mins so it went pretty quickly. I felt a little underwhelmed afterwards to be honest. It all felt a bit functional and lacking in the wow factor that I would have expected for £150.

Belated birthday gift. Did the Rebel karts, rifle shooting and archery. Each one was a great experience and the instructors were very polite, friendly and helpful. The karts were great and the only thing I'd change would be to make the track sightly longer, but otherwise was great fun. Rifle shooting was excellent and the instructors were superb and made you feel very safe and relaxed. Archery was probably my favourite activity from the day and definitely one I'd love to try again. All in all a really fun day and would certainly go back again.

Brilliant day here using the hover crafts, mud buggies and axe throwing. Even though it was wet and windy it was still really enjoyable. Jake was brilliant also, very polite and pleasant man who took the time to explain everything. We highly rate jake.
Just a few qualms however, upon calling we spoke to Andrew on the phone who said it would be 10 minutes, break, 10 minutes on the hovercraft but that wasn’t the case?
The portaloos are also appalling. Considering the money we spent here we would expect actual clean toilets. The smell was awful, enough not to use them.
Also, the road isn’t great. But considering there’s lorries up and down... can’t really blame hover force for this.
We hope to return soon

Jamie our instructor made the day- great demo and then sets us competitions which was excilorating and my grandson loved it

We tried the Hover Craft and the Axe throwing. Both activities were great fun, we were given plenty of time on them both and the staff were excellent. The young lad helping on the hover craft had a lot of patience and gave simple precise instructions. We went on a dry day and we didn’t get wet or dirty. The lady on the axe throwing was great fun, adapting the activity to keep us interested and making it competitive but fun. The only negative I would give is that the toilets are not pleasant but as they are along way from civilisation it would be hard to get better facilities to the site.

Any recommendations for where to stay nearby if booking for a stag do? Thank you!
Written 2 March 2024
Chester is only 25 to 30 minutes away by car/taxi. If its a stag do, why not combine the two and have a beer or six in Chester. Lots of accommodation available there.

Ages vary depending on the activity. Hovercraft is the best for all ages from 5 upwards. Most other activities are ages 10+ except for shredder and grass karts which are age 13 (or 150cm). Then the mud buggies are for 18+ unless you have a full licence.

Can you pay on the day or do you have to have vouchers?
How far in advance do you have to book?
Can I book for myself (17) to be a passenger and someone else (19) who has a drivers license to drive?
Written 21 February 2016
we do require that you book in advance so we know you are coming and can make sure we have staff and equipment ready for you. Aim to book a few weeks in advance but you may be able to ring up and book for that day it just depends how busy it is. On the buggies it matters not if you only go as passenger, so long as the driver can operate a gearbox competently.
