Get ready to Toss the Caber, Hurl the Haggis, Welly Wang, dash in the Farmer’s Race, flip some tyres, and more!

Great banter, lovely staff who were all good craic. Bit of a trek out of the city (30 mins by taxi from the hostel). The games took a little over 2 hours and there were activities to suit all levels of skill and fitness. Definitely wear clothes you’re OK with getting dirty.
