WILMINGTON, NC (THECOUNT) — Have you ever wanted to throw a few down and then throw an axe? You’re in luck..
Wilmington, NC, Axes & Allies, the first venue of its kind, officially opens to the public Friday. And don’t laugh. Throwing and axe while consuming alcohol as a form of entertainment goes way back to the middle ages.
Here’s how it works: an “axpert” explains the rules and oversees participants to ensure safety.
Each lane can accommodate up to eight people at a time.
Axes & Allies said the throwing axe, originally established in the middle ages, has long been used as a weapon.
The venue said recreational axe-throwing has been featured for decades in lumberjack competitions, fairs, festivals and more.
“The most fun thing about Axes & Allies is doing something that your mom always told you you shouldn’t do,” Axes & Allies owner Mia Troy said. source
Axe-throwing sessions are $25 per person, per hour.
You’ll need to wear closed-toed shoes and sign a waiver.
Axes & Allies is located at 1122 South 3rd Street, Wilmington, NC, at the spot of the former Red Barn Studio.
