A licensing application has been submitted for a new axe throwing venue set to open at Nottingham Cornerhouse.
Axed Global, the company behind Axed Nottingham, has submitted an application to Nottingham City Council to open between 8am and 2.30am Monday to Sunday.
The application has also requested films, indoor sporting events, recorded music and sale by retail of alcohol, including late night refreshment.
People or authorities can make representations in writing to the Licensing Authority until April 6.
Axed Nottingham will be the second venue for the company, which is hoping to expand across the UK, and will have the country's only interactive smart lanes with touchscreen technology powering a projected target system.
The venue will be on the second floor of the Cornerhouse in Burton Street, will have a VIP tiered seating area and a bar, serving both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.
But when the venue was announced in January 2022, owners reassured: "Although you strictly cannot drink before you throw, you are able to relax with a drink post-chuck in their casual seating area with a relaxed vibe."
Axed Global opened its first axe throwing attraction in Lincoln in October 2019.
Speaking in January, co-owner Ben Whitehand said: "Axe throwing as an industry is rapidly growing in the UK, becoming a notable player on the competitive socialising scenes in cities all over the country.
"Our venues provide an experience that’s different to others; the way we run our sessions makes the most of your throwing time, meaning you throw more axes with us than at other venues.
"Add in our exclusive interactive smart lanes and you have an experience unlike any other."
Axed Nottingham is set to open in April.
Fellow co-owner Tom Owen said: "We are excited to bring Axed Nottingham to the Cornerhouse. It’s such a prime location in the city.
"Nottingham is such a diverse and active city, it deserves to have a venue like Axed Nottingham, so people have a chance to experience how awesome axe throwing is and join a community of enthusiastic throwers."
Axed is one of three new attractions coming to the Cornerhouse, with the Mixologist bar and chicken wing supremo Wingstop are also set to open at the leisure complex.
Frankie Labbate, of Box Property, said: "This letting takes the Cornerhouse to full occupancy, Axed is an exciting use and strong operator who both complement the already eclectic tenant mix in the Cornerhouse but add something new and exciting to this part of the city which I am sure will be well received."
The city's first axe throwing experience, Hatchet Harry's, opened last November in Lister Gate.
