Pledge to get outside more with your family in 2020
We all know that the outdoors is good for us. All of us, kids and adults.
If you’re looking for Christmas gift inspiration or you’re already planning those New Year’s resolutions, here’s one idea for you.
Axe-citing news – launch of 2020 axe throwing events
We’re excited today to launch our 2020 axe throwing events on Eventbrite. And to introduce a new format for you as well.
You can now choose from:
- A 90 minute experience – great fun to come and have a go at this fun & popular sport
- An improver’s experience – three 90 minute events with a small group to help you to improve your throwing
These events are ideal if you’re looking to book places for a smaller group of friends or family. We also have lots of people who come along on their own. Everyone welcome – and we’re a friendly team! 🙂
So, book for yourself, come with your mates, or buy tickets for a unique Christmas gift. Come and join us for an Axe Throwing Adventure!
Dungeons and Dragons meets Bushcraft Adventures for a stag do to remember!
On Saturday we welcomed Gandalf, Jack Sparrow and various characters from Dungeons and Dragons for a stag do to remember. It was pretty memorable for us too! 👍
The day started with lots of laughter and me giggling as the group wandered in to our woodland. I knew from the start they were going to be a fun group.
Celebrating at the Bridgend Business Forum Awards
We were thrilled to be shortlisted for a Bridgend Business Forum award, for tourism business of the year. And on Friday evening we enjoyed meeting and celebrating with other local businesses in Bridgend. We also enjoyed the opportunity to get dressed-up, which was a bit of a change to our usual workwear!
Can I wear fancy dress?
We’ve been asked a couple of times recently if groups can come to their Bushcraft Adventure in fancy dress.
And our response? Your group sounds like fun… of course, wear what you want!
It’s a serious business toasting marshmallows…
