    No experience needed! We'll teach you the basics, and with 14 game modes mixing skill, strategy and luck, anyone could come out on top.

  • Add a little chaos

    Why stop at throwing axes? Add a Breakr smash room session with 30 breakables each, party lighting and your own music. All safety gear included!

  • Bring the goodies

    BYO food, snacks or cake are all welcome. Just give us a heads-up beforehand. We're alcohol-free, so save the drinks for afterwards.

How it works

The Hens Game Plan

  1. Book your party

    Choose your date, time and group size, then book online. Bringing a bigger crew or need something special? Get in touch and we'll help you out.

  2. Arrive & learn

    Arrive a little early to sign your waivers and get everyone ready. We'll run through the safety briefing, demonstrate how to throw and give everyone some practice.

  3. Let the games begin

    Challenge the bride, run a tournament or take on our interactive minigames. Mix things up however you like — the bride gets first pick, obviously!

  4. Keep the party going

    Add a Breakr smash room session for some extra fun, grab a group photo and head off for the rest of the celebrations.

Reviews

Heard It From the Crowd

  • Really enjoyed Axxe! We were all so nervous to begin with but Maddy was funny and enthusiastic and really helped us all improve our skills. Great day out with a group. Gets you out of your comfort zone and it’s fun!

  • Went with the girlfriends for a birthday party. The staff were great, showed how to do it safely and got some tips on hitting the bullseye.

FAQs

Questions, Answered

How long is a session?

A standard axe-throwing session runs for 60 minutes, with extra time included for larger groups. Sessions run for 80 minutes with 7–9 players and 100 minutes with 10–12 players. We also offer two hour packages for larger groups.

Your session includes a safety briefing, introductory coaching and unlimited throws during your booked time.

Do I need any experience?

Not at all! Most of our visitors are first-time throwers. Every session begins with a safety briefing, throwing demonstration and guided practice to help you get started. Axe throwing is more about technique than strength, and our interactive games give everyone a chance to compete.

Do we get our own lane?

Absolutely! Every booking includes a private lane, so you'll only be throwing with your own group. Each lane has two targets, allowing two people to throw at the same time.

Lanes accommodate up to 12 people, and larger groups can book multiple lanes side by side.

Do you have a smash room?

Yes! Our sister brand Breakr has 2 smash rooms located inside Axxe in Fyshwick. Suit up and smash 30 breakables each using bats, hammers and crowbars.

You can book a standalone smash room session or combine it with axe throwing in our Axxe + Smash Combo.

How many people can you accommodate?

Axxe can host groups of up to 72 people across 6 private lanes, with up to 12 throwers per lane. Our lanes are side by side, so larger groups can still mingle, chat and cheer each other on throughout their session.

What if we're not sure of final numbers?

No problem! Small changes are usually fine, but if your numbers change significantly, please contact us as soon as possible.

For multi-lane bookings, a minimum of six people per lane generally applies. Our large-group packages have fixed prices, so the amount payable doesn't automatically decrease if fewer people attend.

If you need to add or remove lanes, we'll do our best to adjust your booking, subject to availability and booking conditions. Additional fees may apply.

Can people come just to watch?

Of course! A small number of spectators is welcome, so friends and family can watch, cheer everyone on and enjoy the atmosphere.

Anyone who decides to throw will need to be added to the booking. Spectators aren't permitted inside the Breakr smash rooms.
