FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Axe throwing entrepreneur expands with new swansea venue - The Untold Story

An axe throwing leisure venue entrepreneur has opened his second site in South Wales in Swansea with plans for a stress busting plate smashing room.

Matthew Griffin, 24, opened his first Lumberjack Axe Throwing venue in Cardiff in 2019. Now, supported by a £35,000 micro loan from the Development Bank of Wales, he has invested in a Lumberjack site on Dilwyn Street in the centre of Swansea.

As well as providing axe throwing – an increasingly popular indoor sport - his latest venue will also see the addition of Wales’ first permanent ‘rage room’, which will giv e customers the chance to work out their stresses by smashing up crockery and other item. Mr Griffin plans to open the rage room later this year. The young entrepreneur spotted the gap in the market for an axe throwing venue in Cardiff and took the opportunity to open his first site, while continuing to work as a self-employed carpenter and working towards his university degree.
