What's included.
Real paintball, made for younger players.
Junior Paintball isn't laser tag in disguise: it's real paint on real game zones, with kit designed for children.
One-third the Speed
Valken Gotcha markers fire at about a third of adult paintball velocity. Children feel the hit, but it doesn't hurt.
Pump Action
Each shot is deliberate, so children aim rather than spray.
Unlimited Respawns
Hit? Back to your start point and straight back in. Nobody sits out.
Three Missions
Speedball, the Frontline and the Village, each about 20 minutes with a 10-minute break between.
Level 3 Marshals
Every marshal completes UKPSF-based training and reaches Level 3 before leading a group. We're a current UKPSF member site.
Full Protection
Full-face masks and camouflage coveralls for every player.
Perfect for.
Practical information.
Everything to know before the day.
When does it run?
Sundays at 10am, 12pm and 2pm. Private midweek sessions can be arranged by phone. Children's activities don't run on Saturdays.
When should we arrive?
30 minutes before your start time, for registration, teams and the safety briefing.
Who can play?
Children in School Year 5 and above. Eligibility goes by school year, so younger siblings can't join. Call if you're unsure.
What should children wear?
Comfortable old clothes, long trousers and trainers or boots with good grip. Layers in the cold, a change of clothes if it's wet. No sandals or sliders, and tie long hair back.
What if it rains?
Junior Paintball normally goes ahead in ordinary rain. If we postpone for safety, you'll be offered another date or booking credit.
Participant Forms and Supervision
After booking, open your booking portal and share the participant form. A parent or guardian e-signs for each child before the party, and a responsible adult must stay on site throughout.
Booking and Payment
Online bookings are paid in full. Phone bookings can be secured with a £100 deposit, with the balance due the week before.
Changing or Cancelling
Cancel more than two weeks before your date for a full refund. Cancellations within two weeks aren't refunded. We'll always try to move your date if you ask, subject to availability.
Party Food and Rooms
Add party food for £5 per child (an XL hot dog, juice and crisps) in a private zombie-themed party room. Or hire a room for £30 and bring your own food. Birthday cakes welcome.
Can parents watch?
Parents can watch the Village mission from the viewing area. The other zones aren't visible from a safe spot, so spectators wait in the safe area.
Accessibility
We've welcomed wheelchair users at junior paintball before, but the zones have uneven ground and buildings. Call before booking so we can plan what's practical.
Don't just take our word for it.

Me and my boyfriend had a paintballing session booked here a few weeks ago... it was FAB!! We were teamed up with great players and had a laugh the whole way through, especially winning a Prat of the day award! Paintballing was so much fun and we can't wait to come back soon. Thank you again Clarky and Angie for making the experience so fun, you were great to us!
Group of us came for a stag and had an excellent time with the paintball, well run site and equipment. Charlie who lead our group was brilliant, clearly knows his stuff and ran things in a very welcoming and efficient way - would happily recommend our experience to others.
Very friendly staff We had a fantastic paintball game Great experience We'll surely go again 👍🏾👍🏾
