What’s the experience like?

I didn’t expect to laugh so much at myself trying to throw an axe in Llangollen. We met our instructor just outside the village — he had that dry Welsh humor that sneaks up on you. The bows looked heavier than I thought, but after a few tries (and some gentle teasing), I actually hit the target. You could smell the grass after last night’s rain, and there was this quiet between shots, like everyone was holding their breath for the next arrow.

Our guide showed us how to hold the axe — apparently my first attempt was “more like tossing a pancake” (his words). There were a couple of competitive types in our group, but honestly most of us just cheered each other on. The games got sillier as we went, especially when someone managed to stick two axes at once. I never thought I’d enjoy missing so many times — it’s weirdly satisfying when you finally get it right.

I still think about that moment when my arrow finally landed dead center and everyone clapped, even though we’d only just met. It’s not something I ever pictured doing on a day trip to Wales, but now it’s one of those memories that sticks around. If you’re looking for archery & axe throwing in Llangollen that feels relaxed and genuinely fun (with all the gear ready for you), this is it.
