About MANIAX Newstead
MANIAX Newstead runs coached axe throwing from a warehouse-style venue on Doggett Street. Each visit starts with a safety briefing and a lesson from a coach, then the group moves on to scoring games and a mini tournament. Packages run for one or two hours, and staff stay with every lane to help with technique. With 5 group lanes plus 4 single lanes, the venue has room for up to 90 throwers. It sells hens and bucks packages, birthday group sessions, weekday team building challenges and work Christmas parties, and bigger groups can hire the whole space. Group packages are priced for at least 7 people, though a smaller crew can book one by paying for 7, and groups of 13 or more on the hens and bucks package get a dedicated host. After the throwing, the kitchen serves pizzas, giant beef ribs and fried chicken, and the bar pours local beers, ciders, cocktails and MANIAX mead. Drinks, pizza and feast packages can be added to a group booking, and a birthday cake can be brought in. Throwers must be 11 or older, closed-toe shoes are a must, and the venue is wheelchair accessible.

Who can throw, and what should we wear?
