Excellent birthday paintballing! Back again soon! Marshal was a top top lad ★★★★★
We were very impressed how organised paintballing was. I myself didn’t take part in the paintballing but watching how each of the groups were organised, kitted out, briefed and generally looked after, no matter what their age group, it was very professional. My family who did take part, enjoyed paintballing immensely and came away quite pumped up each telling their own stories of what happened beyond the green huts. Definitely an adventure park I will recommend to friends and family ★★★★★
over the years i have played here and i have played at other paintball events but here they have the best staff who are allways there to help you .By far the best arenas to play in and if you want a real blast play Diamond Wars here the end of every month. all in all a great experience. ★★★★★
Slick operation. I used to play there 30 years ago and now its my son's turn. Staff are friendly and professional, kit and play area are well maintained. Recommended! ★★★★★
As always, the staff at Bassetts Pole were professional and friendly working with a group of 60 15/16 year olds. The food provided for students and staff was excellent and we always return with students having had a good days activity, which is safe and fun. Highly recommend a visit for school parties and family birthday parties. ★★★★★
Best paintball centre in the UK the vibe the staff the other activities options they do there. Amazing and will blow your mind ★★★★★
Just completed a day of paintballing for my brother's stag do, what an experience. The site is so well set up, 17 arenas, 240odd acres, great staff and a superb experience. Definitely would recommend to anyone. ★★★★★
I booked my daughters' party before Christmas - unfortunately a personal trauma struck our family and her party had to be postponed; Chris was fantastic and was empathetic and supported and did everything needed to facilitate our circumstances. We finally made the event and well worth every penny - we thoroughly enjoyed the day. Anthony our guide was lovely and patient and kept us to task. Fantastic fun for family, friends and work colleagues. For first timers, try the low impact paintballing. If you can, wear contacts if you wear specs. Always have another clean change of footwear. Try and take your gloves; there are no closed indoor areas if you are not participating - make sure you have appropriate outdoor wear. Don't forget to take a bag for muddy footwear. Thanks to Rick and staff in giving us such a great day. We are now planning our next event at NPF. ★★★★★
Booked low impact paint balling for my sons 8th birthday party. What an amazing time they all had, great organization and booking experience too. A big thank you to Liz who really looked after us making sure they were all fed and watered the food was great. ★★★★★
Visited for a Stag Do with 8 People ★★★★★
Great party for the kids, really well organized, safety first, they all came back wanting more, as good as fortnite!!! ★★★★★
Brilliant place for stag do, staff are really friendly and professional. The maps and game types show alot of hard work has gone into them. Would recommend 100%. Definitely going back again! ★★★★★
Had the Best experience here over a friend’s Stag do! Certainly gonna remember this day for a long time to come. ★★★★★
Excellent Day! Visited for a Stag Do with 8 People. All the staff were very friendly and made the day! Highly Recommend this company!!!! ★★★★★
over the years i have played here and i have played at other paintball events but here they have the best staff who are allways there to help you .By far the best arenas to play in and if you want a real blast play Diamond Wars here the end of every month. all in all a great experience. ★★★★★
I cant say enough about the friendly staff, my 11 year old had a fantastic time paintballing, well worth the money, good set up, very clean and the food was great. We will be visiting again ★★★★★
We booked the SWAT team as part of a stag do and had an excellent time. At £50 per head for hours of adrenaline induced fun, all ammo included, professional chilled out and friendly instructors and a stronghold to play havoc around, I would totally recommend this to anyone who is considering doing this for a stag. There's also the option to buy paint grenades, smoke and light flares if you so wish, but make sure to stock up before you're driven out to the stronghold.
With eleven of us, for the games we were split into two groups of four and one group of three. When two teams were pitched against one another, the team of three borrowed a member from the team sitting out. It was great fun either defending the embassy, staging an offensive or collecting items that have been placed in the maze like arena. It's good as well because the instructors referee the games on the walkway above the stronghold, so when you've been shot they can automatically clock whether you're "dead" or alternatively need to leave the arena, dust yourself off and return, depending on which game you're playing.
You'll need to make sure you've got taxis booked to get there, and there's also a pub if you head out to the main road, if you're after a post game pint or food or just to kill some time. ★★★★★
Great group fun for an afternoon. James was a great host for our stag do. ★★★★★
What a brilliant day. My first time paintballing and can't wait to go again. All the staff were amazing and the maps were fantastic. I can see why they are voted top centre in Europe. I would definitely recommend this to anyone and everyone. Cheers for the great day :) ★★★★★
Best paintball venue I've ever been to. ★★★★★
Best paintball site in the UK if not the world amazing staff looks expensive at first but works out cheaper than other sites at the end of the day. I would highly recommend the dimond wars scenario that takes place last Sunday of the month for a true paintball experience the gun upgrades are also worth it for the first time not just for the extra distance and speed but the masks that fog up less improving your experience I drive 6 hours from South Wales and back on a Sunday to attend this site and its definitely worth worth it! ★★★★★
Had a great day down at the site, the staff there are friendly and will help with any problems you have, getting set up was quick and painless and the games throughout the day were amazing. Definitely the best place for paintball and has clearly earned the title of best site in Europe. Would recommend this to anyone looking for an action packed day out. ★★★★★
Came for my stag do and had a great day out consisting of a few paintball games, sumo wrestling, inflatable assault course and finally the quad bikes. The site itself is superb and all the events were very well organised with excellent facilities.
Would recommend without hesitation. Looking forward to my next visit!!!!!!! ★★★★★
We went paintballing for my nephews 16th birthday. We choose to do the low impact option as we had some younger children. It was just as fun as the 'grown up' one. Good facilities, excellent staff and great service all at a fair price. ★★★★★
Great experience! Our group had tons of fun. Played low impact paintball and battle archery. Paintballing was great and the maps really nice. All the equipment was in good condition. The staff were professional and friendly. Just bare in mind that you might have to tweak the rules of battle archery to make it loads more fun. ★★★★★
Loved my time at NPF Bassetts Pole, the atmosphere was brilliant, the prices for the guns or ammo are fair, and the amount of time you can spend in and the size of the arena is brilliant. ★★★★★
Thank you so much for a wonderful day out - we had a great day to celebrate our friend's hen weekend and were so well looked after Thank you all ★★★★★
I just love this place. The best paintball place we have in the UK. The staff are like family and work so so hard! ★★★★★
One of the best paintball venues in the UK. Would recommend them every time. Large venue with on site food. (Not many places do food) decent toilets. Not plastic loo's. Friendly helpful staff. Iv played here 3 times now and I'm never disappointed. ★★★★★
Great place for activities, brilliant paintball zones, very attentive staff ★★★★★
Thank you to Morgan and Jack who delivered a great paintball experience for a joint birthday party today. The 9 and 10 year olds loved it. Well done. ★★★★★
Went here for a birthday party of 4 children on one of their junior days. A brilliant venue with friendly, caring staff. They had fun activities for the children and made sure that each child was well looked after throughout the day. Great to see that the kids were able to play with people their own age too. The price for the day was great value for money and the kids enjoyed every second of it! Thank you! ★★★★★
I cannot fault this place at all the staff are so friendly and helpful and it's really well organised. My son has joined recently with a Gold membership and he goes every other weekend to play. The staff are great with them and the other players are too. They are often in the adult games and love this just as much as the juniors. Overall great set up and a lovely hobby for them to have rather than hanging round doing nothing or playing their xbox. ★★★★★
Great site , everthing i had hoped for from a paintball site. ★★★★★
Going as part of a trip for our school secondary school in West Bromwich (first time offered as an end of year trip) we could not have asked for anything better.
Staff - amazing down to the last detail very helpful professional and considerate of the students, always willing to help and go the extra mile.
Zones/game modes - again an amazing locations with some of the best zones i and many of the students who have been to others had seen and played, clean and well presented.
Price - to be expected from a top event location that offers so much with expert staff and equipment so well balanced.
Overall we had an adrenaline fuelled day full of fun, laughter and great competition thank you for hosting this and we are ready to take on the challenge again next year. ★★★★★
I was part of a group of 20/21 and we attended on Saturday 17th. We were in hut Alpha and we had 2 Marshalls, 1 of which was 18 and had been there for about 2/3 years. I didn't get his name but amazing and phenomenal service from him. He definitely knows his target audience and deserves a raise. The other person who shined and was so friendly and lovely and just amazing was Emily Glenn. She helped me out in anything and everything and always done it with a smile on
her face and was so bubbly.. she also deserves a raise. These 2 members are assets to the team and if you could please deliver my thanks to them. ★★★★★
Firstly brilliant staff, felt at home, they made the day super special... Thank you.
Secondly, it's the place to go.. simple. ★★★★★
It was an excellent day, and we really enjoyed the event, as it was the best paintball experience any of us had ever been on! The guns were kept in good condition, and the upgrades all looked and performed impressively. The environments were varied, large, and good for all out action or a more stealthy approach. The biggest positive for NPF is the amount of kit, and the high standard of the kit that they include within the price. The only downside was that some of the participants were being shot and wouldn't exit the game, but that's not NPF's fault. ★★★★★
Was a great game day staff and Marshall’s were brilliant would recommend to anyone thinking of going ★★★★★
Played at this fantastic paintball site again last week. Whenever I play there its always a brilliant experience. Great site, great service and excellent staff!!! ★★★★★
Great staff that are welcoming and friendly, amazing arena’s and facilities which gives a fantastic day overall. My son loved it that much, it’s going to become a month day out for us. ★★★★★
Great place for our team Christmas celebration. Have returned for the last three years, and intend to return for a fourth. The Dragons loved their paintball experience. Great for team building and fun for kids and parents alike. Great, friendly staff too. Fantastic afternoon had by all! ★★★★★
What a fabulous day!! We came for a works day out and we were not disappointed. The gentleman who led the games was amazing ! He was so funny. He really did make the day for us! The briefing and all the equipment was to a high standard. The games were all different and so much fun. The interaction from all of the staff and the service was second to none !! ★★★★★
