According to The Daily Echo, the new attraction will be located at Southampton's Marlands Shopping Centre.

Instructors are available to help visitors master their throw at the venue, which should be opening in April. From here, contenders for the upcoming UK championships will also be scouted.

Black Axe Southampton is the company's fifth venue, with four others stationed throughout the UK, in Edinburgh, Margate, Belfast and Lancaster.

Head of venues at Black Axe, Jake Bland, said: "It’s amazing to finally be bringing this to the city. It is our third axe throwing venue launch in just over a year. I know that Southampton is going to love it!"
