How Does it Work?
The game is based around two teams competing against each other. Each player is armed with a gun that fires paintballs (a similar size to a marble). The balls break open when they hit an object and leave a large splat of paint (brightly coloured and based around non-toxic, washable food dye). If a player is marked by a paintball they are eliminated from that game and watch from the side lines. Games last between 5 and 15 minutes and you only get one life per game! A typical half-day involves five games, a full-day will involve approximately ten games.
Safety is very important in Paintball, after all you are shooting at people with powerful gas operated guns! Everyone wears protective goggles and safety marshals ensure safe and fair play.
Costs
Paintball starts with a very basic Bronze Package at £9.50 per person. Players will however need to buy additional paintballs on the session (£7 per 100 Paintballs).
A more efficient option is to pre-book a: Silver, Gold or Platinum package as these include a greater number of Paintballs
. The average player will be spending £30 to £40 per person for a half-day and £40 - £50 for a full-day.
- Bronze Package costs £9.50 - a basic intro package (more paintballs will need to be purchased on the day)
- Silver Package costs £30 - a great half-day option.
- Gold Package costs £45 - Ideal for a full-day session
- Platinum Package costs £60 - Suitable for 'trigger happy' players.

- Full-days (9.30am - 4.00pm)

Paintball is a physically demanding game. You will be running around 50 acres of woodland, carrying a fairly substantial gun all day. A reasonable level of fitness is advisable.
