The Site
Safe Area

On entering the main part of the site, we have a large area devoted for parking along with a purpose built indoor safe zone.

Our safe zone has everything you will need for your day, a briefing area, tables and seating, catering facilities, vending machines, toilets and even a site shop!

We will sign you in for your day and issue you with your kit and have the safety briefing.  All markers are kept in a special area outside of the safe zone.

Outside Area

On exiting the main safe zone, you are directed into another area where no player is allowed past without their goggles on before they are able to exit further.

After this players are led into the marker zone and markers are issued and players get to try them out on our firing range before being led out onto the paintball fields for the games to begin.

Game Fields

There is a selection of fields for play at the site.  These have been designed to be exciting and challenging to play.

Games include Criss Cross (capture the flag), Duel (buzzer game), Sabotage where you have to plant a device by the V1 rocket, Band of Brothers/Kill Confirmed (where you collect armbands), Supply drop, CQB (Close Quarter Combat – field in development) and Convoy.
