Same woods. Same family.
Andy founded the park in 1988, when paintball was still new to the UK. The first game zones were Speedball and Frontline, and both are still played today.
More than three decades later, he's still actively involved. The experience behind the park wasn't bought as a franchise. It was built through thousands of sessions and generations of visitors.
From 1988 to today.
- 1988The first gameOur first ever paintball game ran on 18 August 1988, on the original Speedball and Frontline zones.
- Today100 acres. 7 zones. 12 activities.Seven permanent game zones, from a 300 ft bridge to a 20-room bunker, twelve activities and three event days. Birthdays, stag and hen dos, team days, schools, clubs and families come from all over Yorkshire and beyond.
The zones.
Permanent buildings, bridges, towers, trenches, bunkers, aircraft, forts, woodland and rivers. Most have cover, so games run rain or shine.
Push straight across, hold your side or move underneath. A completely different game from woodland play.
Around 20 connected rooms and a two-storey communications tower. The most intense close-range zone on site.
Houses and cover everywhere, with so many routes that no team can defend just one.
A four-seat aircraft, two permanent forts, trenches and a fuel dump. Defend it or take it.
One of the 1988 originals: natural terrain, a river and around 20 large concrete cylinders to fight between.
One of the original zones: buildings, trenches and colour-changing windmills to capture.
Raised lookouts, cover and routes built for younger players' team games.
Safety comes first.
Big games only work when everyone feels safe. That's why every session follows the same standards.
