Frequently Asked Questions
Bookings

- A As far in advance as possible please! Whilst we will always try to help at 'short notice' - the more time you can give us, the greater the chance of getting that perfect paintball party exactly when and where you want it!
- Q How many Players do I need?
- A For a weekend, any amount is normally fine. You will be mixed in with other groups that are also booked at the site so there will be plenty of people to shoot at! Midweek days are also fine but the sites will usually require a minimum group size of 10 to 20 players to maximise the action!

- A Our quotes are interactive – so you can invite your group members through the quote and then they can book and pay separately as and when they are ready.
