Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to book?

Yes! It is the only way in which we can ensure you get to play.

How far in advance should I book?

As far in advance as possible please! Whilst we will always try to help at 'short notice' - the more time you can give us, the greater the chance of getting that perfect paintball party exactly when and where you want it!

How many players do I need?

For a weekend, any amount is normally fine. You will be mixed in with other groups that are also booked at the site so there will be plenty of people to shoot at! Midweek days are also fine but the sites will usually require a minimum group size of 10 to 20 players to maximise the action!

Can I play just with my own group?

You would need to have enough players to fill your own game zone, normally about 30 or more.

How can I book?

Either by booking online or by calling 0800 078 9500. You will need to pay a non-refundable deposit per person to secure your places so it is a good idea to collect this money from your group in advance.

How can I pay my deposit?

Either via our secure online booking service or over the telephone (0800 078 9500). We accept credit or debit card. We do accept cheques but you would need to call us on 0800 078 9500 to arrange this.

What times do the sessions run from?

This does vary from site to site. The actual times will be printed on your booking confirmation forms. It is advised that you arrive around twenty minutes prior to this start time.

What happens if I arrive late?
