Frequently asked questions

What is Northern Realms?

Northern Realms is a mobile Norse-themed experience offering traditional archery and axe throwing. We bring the adventure to you whether it’s a private garden, festival, wedding, or corporate field day. You supply the space, we bring the saga.

​

Do you have a venue?

Nope - we’re fully mobile. That means we travel to your location and set up everything needed for axe throwing or archery. We’ve pitched up in fields, castles, car parks, and festival grounds — anywhere we can safely set the stage for a proper Viking showdown.

​

What space do I need?

To keep everything safe and glorious, we need:

Archery: 3m x 12m

Axe Throwing: 3m x 5m

​

We prefer flat grass, but some hardstanding is possible. However, all pitches must:

not back onto buildings or parked vehicles

Be positioned where no one can walk behind the targets

Not sure if your space works? Send us a message or photo,  we’ll help you work it out.

​

Is it suitable for kids?

Absolutely! We offer children’s archery and axe throwing alongside the adult setup, so it’s fun for all the family. Whether you’ve got tiny shieldmaidens or mini berserkers, we’ll tailor the experience to suit all ages and abilities.

​

Do I need any experience?

None at all. Our instructors guide you through the basics and have you loosing arrows and hurling axes like a proper Norse raider in no time.

​

Is it safe?

Yes. All our instructors are fully trained.. We use professional equipment, maintain strict range control, and conduct on-site risk assessments.

We’re also fully insured, and risk assessments are available on request,  just let us know if your venue or organisation needs a copy.

​

How long do sessions last?

Our standard sessions run for 2–4 hours, giving you plenty of time to enter berserker mode and master the skills of axe and bow.

We also offer bespoke packages for larger or longer events.

​

How much does it cost?

Prices vary depending on your location, event type, and how long you want us for.
Drop us a message with your details, and we’ll give you a tailored quote faster than Thor can swing Mjölnir.

​

What kind of events do you do?

Pretty much anything, including:

Weddings

Stag & hen parties

Birthdays

Corporate events & team-building

Festivals & fairs

Family fun days

Viking-themed gatherings

And just about anything else where sharp things and good vibes are welcome

​​

What happens if it rains?

Rain? Wind? The occasional angry god? We press on unless it’s genuinely unsafe (e.g. high winds or lightning). We’ll discuss weather plans when you book. Dress like you’re heading out on a northern raid - not a spa weekend.

​

Do you sell merch?

We do! Check out our shop for Viking-inspired T-shirts, drinking horns, and gear worthy of Valhalla. shop here
