Corporate Competition 2026
Win FREE advertising and the chance to bag a FREE party too!
Until the end of November 2026 we're offering the chance for any company to win a free advertising and the chance to win a party in January 2027.
Terms and Conditions
To participate in the competition, a company must book one (1) or more person onto a throwing lane for an hour of throwing. During that hour booking any person from the party can nominate themselves to be scored for an additional fee of £10.00. They will then be supervised by a member of the Axes to Ashes team and their score recorded. The company details, website and a blurb about the company (including website) and the highest score recorded will then be publicly displayed next to our bar in full view of every customer who comes in for the remainder of the year.
Furthermore, whoever holds the top-spot will win a free axe throwing party in January 2027 (this is to allow companies who are busy in the run-up to Christmas to take advantage of the competition). Please note, that food and drinks are not included in the prize and are charged separately.
The leader board will consist of 10 places. If a company drops to 11th place, their details will be removed from the leader board.
