A little know-how before you go.

Wear old, comfortable clothes and closed-toe footwear with good grip. Boots with ankle support are recommended for uneven woodland; wellington boots generally provide less ankle support. Bring spare clothes and a towel for the journey home, plus water and any refreshments you need. Optional gloves and extras depend on the venue and your package.

Personal equipment is subject to the Centre Manager’s approval. Goggles must be designed for paintball, unmodified and in suitable condition. A personal marker may only be considered for an arranged private game, must be compatible with the venue’s supplied gas equipment and must pass the required checks. Do not bring your own gas cylinders or external paintballs.

Only paintballs issued by the selected centre for your event may be used. Do not bring external paintballs or return with paintballs taken away from a previous visit. Ask the venue team about any arrangements for unused paintballs.

Paintball use varies with playing style and the number of games. There is no compulsory consumption target. Check how many paintballs your selected package includes, budget for any extras you want and buy additional paintballs from the venue during breaks. See Britannia Paintball prices and packages for this campaign’s rates.

Extra paintballs, snacks, drinks and optional equipment may be available at the venue shop. Pyrotechnics are restricted to adults aged 18 and over and depend on venue rules. Check Britannia Paintball prices and packages for this campaign’s published extras. Bring a suitable payment method; cash, cards and contactless facilities vary by venue. Cheques are not accepted.

Choose an age-appropriate activity and confirm the venue’s minimum age before booking. Tell the team about any requirements that could affect equipment fit or participation. Parents and guardians can ask about supervision, consent forms and a pre-arranged site visit. Avoid assuming that every activity is suitable for every child.

Standard national paintball sessions are generally for ages 10 and over. Lower-impact miniball may be available for younger children at participating venues. Confirm the youngest player’s age and the selected activity’s minimum age before paying. Local centres can have different limits. Safety rules, equipment fit and any parental-consent requirements apply to every player; suitability is not guaranteed for every age.

Bring a packed lunch and enough water for your session. Snacks and cold drinks may be available to buy at the venue shop, and you can eat in the designated base-camp areas. Do not assume hot food, catering or free drinks will be provided; ask the booking team about your selected venue before travelling.

Alcohol is not permitted at the centre. Players must arrive sober and follow the venue’s safety rules. Anyone impaired by alcohol or drugs may be refused entry or excluded from play.

Dates depend on venue availability, staffing and holiday arrangements. Weekends and school holidays are popular; midweek sessions may require a larger group or minimum spend. Ask the booking team to check your preferred date rather than relying on a year-round opening guarantee.

Complete the registration instructions before arrival. At the venue, the team will check you in, fit your equipment, organise the groups and deliver a compulsory safety briefing. You will then play a series of marshal-led games with breaks. The number of games and finish time depend on the booked session and venue.

Complete the registration forms supplied with your booking before arrival wherever online registration is available. A parent or guardian must provide the required consent for players under 16. Share the instructions with the whole group; if you have not received them, contact the booking team. Any different local-venue process will be confirmed with your booking.

Small groups are welcome and may be joined with other players to form teams. Availability, staffing and minimum-spend requirements can vary, particularly for midweek events. Send your preferred date, location and group size through our booking enquiry. If you want exclusive play, ask the team about private-game arrangements.

Marshals aim to balance teams by age, group size and experience. Standard sessions may include parents, older siblings and other mixed-age groups. Miniball is a separate activity for younger children with age-appropriate equipment and supervision. Confirm the arrangements for your selected session with the booking team.

Book for the players you can confirm and ask the team about adding people later. Additional places and any package changes are subject to availability and the booking terms. Do not assume a date is reserved until you receive the required booking confirmation.

Use the venue address and entrance instructions in your booking confirmation, rather than the company’s office address. Share them with every driver. If a what3words address or map link is supplied, use it alongside the venue directions. If you are lost, call Or talk to the team: 0203 869 9285 so the team can help you reach the correct entrance.

Sessions normally continue in rain, so bring suitable outdoor clothing, grippy footwear and a spare change of clothes. Staff may postpone or stop play if conditions are unsafe. If the operator changes your event, contact the booking team for the arrangements that apply to your booking; do not assume a particular refund or credit without checking the terms.

Paintball is booked as a separate morning or afternoon event, normally lasting around three hours. Summer sessions commonly run 10am–1pm or 2pm–5pm; winter sessions commonly run 9am–12:15pm or 12:30pm–3:45pm. A booking covers one session, not both. Complete registration before arrival and use the exact times in your booking confirmation; local venues and Miniball can vary.

View the seasonal session itinerary.

Contact the booking team as soon as you know your numbers have changed. A missing player’s paintball allocation cannot automatically be shared with the rest of the group. Refund, date-change and future-credit arrangements depend on the terms and payment channel used for your booking. Payments made at a centre and telephone bookings can have different credit arrangements. Check your confirmation and the applicable booking terms before assuming a credit is available.

A no-show player’s prepayment and allocated paintballs cannot automatically be transferred to other players on the day. Ask the booking team whether your payment arrangement permits a future credit; any credit remains subject to its conditions and availability.

Send a booking enquiry or call Or talk to the team: 0203 869 9285 with your preferred date, venue, group size and player ages. The team will confirm availability, package details, charges and the next steps. An enquiry is not a confirmed booking. If you want to visit a venue before booking, arrange an appointment first.

Private games must be arranged in advance and are subject to availability. At national venues, groups of 50 or more may qualify for a private game; smaller groups may be able to arrange one for an additional charge. call Or talk to the team: 0203 869 9285 to confirm the threshold, staffing and any charge for your chosen venue.
