What exactly is paintball?

Paintball is a game played with two teams firing non-staining, biodegradable paint balls, which burst on impact. When you’re hit, you’re eliminated from that game.

Throughout the whole day our trained marshalls will ensure you play safely at all times and keep track of the team scores.

Benefits of playing paintball?

Paintball has proved to be an extremely popular activity for corporate events, stag days out, teenage parties, as well as other types of group days out, because paintball is excellent for team building as it engages a team in an activity which demands various skills and techniques and is good fun and good exercise.
