At Iron Pit Woods Adventure, just off Geddington Road in Corby, England, The Big 5 condenses a full outdoor festival into one four-hour ticket. This action-packed itinerary runs through five distinct stations: a quirky 18-hole adventure golf course, a wooded disc-golf loop, a spacious foot-golf green, a two-lap high-ropes aerial assault with a zip-wire, and a supervised axe-throwing session. The site occupies mature mixed woodland on the edge of Corby, where stands of oak and birch frame fairways and ropes courses, giving each activity an intimate, sheltered feel.
The sequence of challenges keeps momentum tight: warm up with a round of adventure golf, swap clubs for a football on the foot-golf course, then thread plastic discs along a tree-lined disc-golf fairway. The aerial assault course demands balance and resolve — expect suspended beams, cargo nets and a zip-wire finish — with a minimum height of 1.2 m and a guardian-supervised safety system. The experience closes with an instructor-led axe-throwing session that focuses on stance, release and safety before letting you aim for the bullseye.
What makes The Big 5 special is the variety packed into a single booking. Instead of choosing between a ropes course or a rounds-based game, groups move across formats, which makes it ideal for mixed-ability parties, corporate teams and family celebrations. The woodland setting is a practical advantage: tree cover reduces wind on the disc-golf lines and creates natural barriers on the foot- and adventure-golf holes, while sightlines on the aerial elements feel wild without being remote. Operators limit groups to 10 people, so each station stays engaging rather than overcrowded.
Practical notes: arrive 15 minutes early, pre-booking is required, and participants under 18 must be supervised. There’s a 115 kg maximum weight for aerial elements and a minimum age of 8 for axe throwing. Bring sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate layers; the course is active in most conditions but may close stormy days. The Big 5 is run in English by Iron Pit Woods Adventure and suits parties that want variety over specialization — part playground, part skills clinic, and all designed to get a group moving, laughing and learning together.
Whether you’re hunting a weekend group activity in Northamptonshire or staging a memorable birthday, this compact, movement-forward format delivers high-energy fun without the logistics of multiple bookings. It’s a straightforward, efficient way to pack five outdoor sports into one afternoon just outside Corby.
Groups can expect staff-led briefings at each station, safety equipment provided, and progress paces set to accommodate mixed ages. Photography is easy from course edges; leave drones at home unless authorised. Bookings are non-refundable but transferable; check availability and bring ID if required. Arrive prepared to move between activities with purpose daily.
Minimum age is 8 years for axe throwing; some aerial elements recommend a minimum height of 1.2 m.

The venue hosts axe throwing sessions (30- and 60-minute options) that begin with a quick safety briefing, ensuring participants understand technique and safe conduct before throwing. The site also features disc golf and foot golf courses routed through scenic woodland trails, and an 18 Hole Adventure Golf course described as Northamptonshire’s only outdoor adventure golf course, designed to be playable year-round in varying weather.

The business emphasizes outdoor, woodland-based recreation and offers options appropriate for all ages and abilities in many activities. Sessions are presented as structured experiences (timed axe-throwing sessions, 9- or 18-hole disc golf) and include on-site safety briefings where specified.
