Axe Throwing

Axe Throwing (sometimes called Axe Toss) is the inflatable lane where guests have a go at hitting a velcro bullseye with velcro-headed axes; no real blade goes near anybody. The walls are printed to look like log-cabin timber, the targets are velcro-faced concentric rings, and the front is open with side curtains to catch any stray throws. One of our staff runs the lane for the duration of the hire, so no one is left to work out the safe throwing distance for themselves.

The axes grip on first contact, so you can see at a glance whether you've stuck on the red, the yellow or the white. It works for both kids and adults.

The matching archery range

You'll see an inflatable archery range alongside the axe throwing in most of the photos. If you'd like both at your event, mention it when you enquire and we'll sort the pairing.

How we hire it out

We own all of our kit, so the person setting up on the day is one of our staff, not a sub-contractor we've passed the job to. Everyone on the road has passed the RPII operator and supervisor exams, is first-aid trained, and is enhanced-DBS registered, which matters if you're booking around children, schools, a faith community or vulnerable adults. The inflatable is PIPA-tagged and inspected annually by our in-house RPII inspector. If you're outdoors we set up the anemometer and run the standard 24mph wind-speed cutoff, the same as we do with any inflatable.

We've run Monster Event Hire from our unit in Havant since 2002, covering Hampshire, Surrey, Sussex and into London. The policy carries £10 million public liability with additional licensed-premises cover for pubs, clubs and bars, and the certificate is on request.
