Paintball is currently one of the fastest growing sports in Europe. Every month thousands of new players try out the most exciting pastime available. Most first time players attend a corporate event day, stag party, birthday party or just get together with a group of friends. Many are "bitten by the bug" and return on a regular basis. Some groups of friends arrange themselves into regular teams who play at big scenario days and tournaments. Big scenario day information is available on our walk-on/scenario page.

 

If you are wearing sensible clothing - a jacket, thick jumper or overalls, then the answer is no. But do expect a short, sharp shock. Safety is the key word. On arrival at our site you will be issued with a safety mask, specifically designed for paintball, coveralls to protect your clothes, and other safety items. A comprehensive safety talk will be given at the start of the day before any player is allowed to get hold of their marker or start playing.

 

The common presumption is that paintball caters for the Rambo's of society and those with a paramilitary bent. In fact, paintball is a well organised and exciting sport. It is a game and nothing more. If you go to a site and expect a crash course in subversive thuggery, you'll be disappointed.

 

Packages can be arranged to last from 3 hours to a full day and during the summer months paintball can be played into the evening. The games themselves can last from 5 to 10 minutes long.

 

A basic charge will include all safety equipment, coveralls, the hire of a marker and refreshments. See the Prices page for more details.

 

The first thing to do is read through the information provided. It is then down to phoning or emailing for help and advice and to find out what you get for your money. You will be asked to send a deposit and estimate the number of people you will be taking. Then it's just a case of turning up on the specified day to experience the ultimate adrenalin rush.

 

In practical terms you will need a change of clothing, in case you decide to crawl in the mud or if it rains, and sensible footwear. High heels are not conducive to charging around the woods. But the most important thing to bring with you is a sense of humour and a willingness to get stuck in and possibly make a fool of yourself.
