TheTraveller852 - My son had a mini paintball party. Very busy on arrival but was directed to very quickly to our co-ordinator for the afternoon, they had all my details and were very professional. The children were whisked through to the briefing area, where they got changed into overalls and were given face masks. Then a safety briefing was held so everyone knew what to expect from them. Then they went into the field and they came back 2 hours later very hot, very excited and wanting to do more. The best thing was that this package has lots of paintballs included, might do the same for next year as well. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Tibbyhatton - Booked for a 9 year old's mini-paintballing birthday party. Had a few tears as the shots can hurt when hit at close range, but this didn't stop the fun.. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Kevin Burford - Great party for the kids, really well organized, safety first, they all came back wanting more, as good as fortnite!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Peter - Kids party. 10 8 year olds with guns. What could possibly go wrong??? Brilliantly looked after. Great fun. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Harvey Parkes - Amzing place, and amzing staff I had such an amzing time here I can't wait to come back.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
