So you have found your everlasting love…… and you are looking for somewhere really original to take them for Valentine’s Day… well we have the answer right here.

Between 14 and 18 February you can take them axe-throwing at The Biscuit Factory.

Black Axe Throwing Co. is bringing the sport to Edinburgh for the first time this February.

Axe throwing is apparently growing in popularity across the country so this pop-up event is billed as the ideal alternative to romantic restaurants for Valentine’s Day this year.

The urban sport works in a similar format to tenpin bowling or archery, with wooden targets at the end of lanes which and small hatchet style axes thrown at them. It is a test of skill, not strength, which means everybody and anybody can master it and there also be instructors on hand with advice and throwing tips for everyone.

The event will team up with Edinburgh Festival and The Pitt Market favourites Pizza Geeks to provide a selection of specially prepared pizzas for guests and there will also be a range of cocktails available, making for a great night for couples and singletons alike.

Tiered ticket packages for the public will include an axe throwing session, specially prepared pizza and a range of delicious cocktails. Prices start at £20 per person.

Tickets are available here.
