Paintballing

Not only is paintballing great fun, it can also be a great test to your endurance and alertness. Even better when enjoyed in large groups, it can be a fantastic idea for stag weekends! It’s time to put your commando skill's to the test, or act out your favourite scene from your preferred Sly Stallone or Arnie movie playing soldiers in the undergrowth! Paintballing can also be a great way to let off some steam and vent out your anger, just imagine how much fun it would going up against your boss at work, just try not to take it too far! There are various scenarios and locations to paintballing in the UK; you can even take it to the extreme with a tank paintballing experience!

There are plenty of paintballing options to choose from below, allowing you to participate on your own or with a friend against others, or group paintballing allowing you to test out your army skills against your own friends.

All activities include full protective clothing and hire of a semi-automatic paintball gun. Which you will be provided with following a short class safety brief, which will include discussing the type of games you will be involved in and the rules of each.

“ This was one hell of a great experience, and quite a painful one at that! The masks were a bit uncomfortable and kept steaming up which was a bit annoying and the facilities were a bit basic but for the price you can’t complain at all. Great fun and would definitely do again, although might wear more padded clothing next time! ”
