We’re Whistle Punks and we’re all about people, well people and axes...

Do our 5-star reviews rave about the quality of our wood or how lovely our axes are? Nope. It’s all about our team, our people, our Punks. They make the experience. They create the magic. Wanna join them?

We brought urban axe throwing to the UK back in 2016 and, ever since, we have been at the top of our game in the hugely popular competitive socialising scene.

We now have venues in Bristol, Leeds, London and Manchester with plans for more in the future. We’ve grown from 5 to a team of over a 100

Our mission is to provide an unforgettable experience to anyone setting foot in our venues. Our success is a direct result of the fantastic team already in place and we now need more awesome humans to add to the mix.
