A few weeks back

A few weeks back, we entrusted this amazing company to organize a friend’s hen party. We opted for their mobile axe throwing experience, which turned out to be an absolute blast. I wholeheartedly suggest this company for any occasion you’re planning! The team is both wonderful and highly professional. Communication during the booking stage was excellent. If you’re seeking something unique and entertaining for your event, don’t hesitate to book with them!

Northern Realms came to our wedding

Northern Realms came to our wedding, we had an absolute blast, our guests loved this event, the team were great, they even helped my blind dad to have a go and he hit the target! Amazing, thanks for helping to make our day so special. Would definitely use Northern realms again, great value and service.

May the Gods smile upon you for this mighty review fair Shield-maiden. You’re forever welcome in the Realms. Odin himself only had one eye, but even he would struggle to throw an axe with the skill and precision of your Dad!

Wedding Hire

We hired northern realms for some axe throwing at our wedding, and they were fantastic! Everything that was needed was provided and then in full Viking getup all our guests managed to have a go at the axe throwing! It was a fantastic addition and everyone can’t stop talking about how unique it was! We loved every minute of it and would recommend to anyone looking for something different at their wedding!

Highly recommended!

I can't recommend Olde Era Events enough! We booked the archery and axe throwing for our wedding and it was fantastic. Everyone was so friendly and professional, it was a great talking point at the wedding, and all the guests loved it.

Thanks so much for making our day even more special!

The best wedding fun!

We had Olde Era Events doing axe and sear throwing for our wedding and it was absolutely fantastic! Everyone enjoyed themselves immensely and it wasn't just the sharp weapons, but also the energy and enthusiasm these guys brought to it all (including wearing full costume on what was a somewhat ridiculously hot day). All of the wonderful touches, from advice to rewards for those who did well (or not so well)! Would highly recommend them!

Wedding + axes = amazing!

We hired Olde Era for our wedding and I can’t thank them enough for adding something special to our day! Our guests have all mentioned how much fun they had, and everything went smoothly, very professionally ran, but above all else - it was ran with fun, and great energy!

Thanks to you both for an amazing experience

Axe Throwing Frenzy

We used Odle Era Events for our Work Christmas ball which was an apres ski themed party with some axe throwing in for fun! It was an excellent night with the scene set by arriving and throwing an axe before entering the party!
The team were very brilliant at managing both the male and female testosterone flying around and it definitely got the party going.
Great fun team whilst highly professional - thanks

The Tavern is a joy to behold!

The Tavern is a joy to behold!
Attended a wedding where The Tavern was the main event (aside from the gorgeous couple obviously!). It is pretty easy to see how adaptable it would be to suit the needs of anybody fortunate enough to use it, and the fact it can be moved elsewhere for usage is so handy (as are the additional tents in-keeping with the theme).
The staff were also so accommodating and attentive, really made guests feel nothing was too much. Drinks and food were top quality too! All round great company!

Very professional and enthusiastic people - they were perfect for our party.

Phoenix and Chris hosted an axe throwing event for us at our work christmas party last week and they were brilliant. Very easy to communicate with in advance, very professional set up, excellent at encouraging people to let their hair down and have a go and thoroughly nice guys. They have a passion for what they do and it really comes across. We really enjoyed having them with us (so much so, we invited them to stay for dinner). Would 100% use again and would recommend to anybody. You won't be disappointed.

Unique and charismatic

I have used olde era a number of times from the tavern to axe throwing. The staff are fantastic and charismatic and their equipment and setup are unique to them.

I can't recommend them enough.

Out Of This World!

Olde Era Events have a spectacular team working a unique environment.
I’ve now attended a couple of events in the tavern that they have built & the atmosphere has been spectacular.
The old world feel of the tavern is welcoming and the huge table through the middle means it’s a truly communal experience, groups of people sat side by side who may never have met before can end up becoming friends (or at the very least, singing together at the end of the night).
Add to this the wonderful team, led by the most gracious of hosts Donna & Phoenix, all whom are dressed in period appropriate attire, go out of their way to make your experience all the more memorable and also serve drinks from both the era appropriate setting (mead will forever be my downfall) and your more modern beverages (a beer or pop for a hot day / a coffee or hot chocolate, to which a shot could be added to warm you up).
Then they go and add in archery and ace throwing (which it turns out I’m terrible at) just adds even more to your time with them.
If you have an event of any kind that you want to make a little different, special and memorable, give these guys a shout. You will NOT be disappointed.
Also, if it snows, the tavern looks even more incredible.

I loved working with olde era events on…

I loved working with olde era events on a recent wedding. As a celebrant I encounter different events teams often and I think what stood out to me was that they were the complete package , different members of the team were working on different parts of the day but they were all communicating well and interested in the day as a whole not just their individual part. Start to finish nothing was too much trouble. The guest experience was second to none and there was a lot of positive feedback

A medieval era we all want to experience but never got to has now come again

An absolutely excellent time we all had at Olde Era Events, you dive into a different world and you can axe throw, archery and have an ale at their Tavern, the hosts Donna, Phoenix and Chris are so lovely and make the day a wonderful unique experience. If you want something a little out if this world, just book them in, you will not regret it 💪 thanks guys xx

An amazing wedding venue

Attended a wedding where they had used the tavern at their venue. It was magical. Like the something off the set of The Witcher. I almost want to get married so I can use it! Almost... 🤣 Definitely thinking of events that I could use it for and would highly recommend! Just a magical day and evening!
