LIFE AT CLAYS
Welcome to Clays, the ultimate indoor clay shooting experience and cocktail bar! We bring the thrill of a British clay target shooting weekend to the heart of the city. Our unique twist on Olympic clay shooting makes the sport safe, fun, and accessible for everyone. As we expand locally and globally, we're excited to share our love for British charm and competitive gaming with the world. Whether you're after a thrilling day with friends or a lively evening with colleagues, Clays is the perfect spot for adrenaline-pumping, fun-filled experiences.
We’re proud to be certified as a Great Place to Work, and recognised as a UK Best Workplace 2025, which reflects our commitment to creating an amazing work environment. But don’t just take our word for it—here's what our colleagues have to say about us:
“You can be yourself here. The company values character and willingness to learn over prior knowledge. They provide all the training you need, and your progress is entirely up to you.”
“From day one, the collaborative and supportive culture at Clays has been clear. The onboarding process and continuous training show a real commitment to employee development.”


CLAYS VALUES
At Clays, our venues are for everyone, and so is our workplace. We believe that to serve our diverse audience, we must first celebrate and nurture diversity within our team. That’s why we’re dedicated to creating an inclusive culture. And of course, we’re looking for someone who embodies our Clays values. That’s why we’ve framed them as key questions that guide everything we do:


SAFE - Is it safe? Safety first. It’s our responsibility to protect our people, our guests, and our business. We make decisions that create an environment where everyone feels safe, respected, and supported.
AMAZING EXPERIENCE - Will it deliver an amazing experience? We deliver an amazing experience by going above and beyond what's expected, obsessing over the detail, making thoughtfulness a priority, and ensuring every guest and colleague feels seen, valued, and truly celebrated.
LASTING - Will it leave a last impression? Lasting means creating impact that goes beyond the moment. At Clays, the choices we make must meaningfully contribute to a lasting impression, for our guests, our people, our planet, and our brand.
