Please note that equipment varies from site to site

Most paintball sites are open 7 days a week but some sites only open on a weekday if a minimum number of players are booked to play - the standard minimum number is usually 40 players. Details including session times for each paintball site are listed on our locations pages .

No, for health and safety reasons you may only use the paintballs provided by the site on the day. We need to know that the paintballs are safe and it would literally take all day to check every single paintball!

There is no maximum age limit, however all sites have a minimum age limit. This does vary, so please check the minimum age for each location before completing your booking.

Yes, players under 18 need a parent or guardian to sign a consent form on their behalf.

You must bring your Ministry of Paintball booking confirmation with you, suitable clothing depending on the weather and sturdy but comfortable footwear. And most important...a sense of adventure!

Some paintball sites have storage facilities (lockers) but we recommend that you bring the least amount of valuables possible.

We recommend that you book at least 2 weeks in advance - although we will always try our best to accommodate you when possible.

Mostl sites require you to be there by 9am for the safety briefing plus issuing of your combat gear, paintball markers and paintballs. However this varies depending on your booked session times. Check the arrival time for location and session time on the locations pages here as well as your booking confirmation.

Yes, paintball is an all weather game - come rain or shine! Paintball in the rain is awesome fun so leave your umbrella at home and bring some good sturdy footwear.

If a player does not attend without notifying us inside of the given period they will lose their pre-payment and are no longer entitled to their prepaid paintballs.

Lunch is usually included for full day sessions at most locations, and does vary depending on the location. Some sites do not provide lunch but have canteens where snacks and refreshments can be purchased or can arrange for food such as pizza to be ordered in at a reasonable cost.

No, consumption of alcohol is strictly not allowed at any of our paintball sites. Anybody found to have had alcohol before or during the day will be sent home without exception.

You can play for as long or as little as you wish: but you won't want to leave early!

Most outdoor games are played with 16 on each side. Indoor games vary from 8 - 16 per side.

From our long experience, the average is 500, but it depends on how trigger happy you are! We recommend you communicate with your team and use agreed strategies and tactics. This gives players direction in the game, and more chance of defeating the opposing team plus you will be using less paintballs.

No. Your first 100 or 200 paintballs per player must be paid for in advance to secure your booking. This is to ensure that we have the right number of referees on the day to take care of you.

All sites vary: please check the locations section here for details.

No, it is the responsibility of the parent / guardian to be truthful about the age of a player. If they are under the minimum age required by a particular site, then insurance is null and void. Proof of age (photo ID) is recommended for adults or those over the minimum age.

It depends on the weather but we recommend you bring layers of warm and comfortable clothing. You will be provided with coveralls which you will wear over your clothing. Bring sturdy but comfortable footwear.

Outdoor paintball is usually a full day activity. Some of our sites offer morning, afternoon and/or evening sessions. Please see the locations section for details.

You must be on site at the time stipulated as it is important that you are there for the safety briefing and the issuing of your combat gear, paintball marker and paintballs. Unfortunately late arrivals will not be able to play as the games will already be in progress.

Some sites do have an area for spectators but health and safety issues make it difficult to provide an area where you can view the entire game without risk of stray paintballs. Please see the locations section for more information on facilities.

No, players who fail to attend on the day lose their 1st 100 or 200 paintballs, these paintballs are strictly non-transferable and non refundable.

Yes, most sites will allow you to use your own equipment (excluding paintballs!). The referees will inspect your equipment and decide whether it is suitable to use at their site. Their decision is final!

Due to the nature of where paintball sites are situated, many of the sites are not easily accessible via public transport. Where public transport is practical, we provide directions in the locations section and with your booking confirmation.

Most of our sites only offer a full day paintballing however you can always choose to leave early if you are tuckered out! Some sites do offer morning or afternoon sessions but please be aware that lunch is not provided with half day sessions. Please check the Locations section of our website for details of session times offered at each location.

No, bring as many people as you want! But please remember that all bookings are subject to availability. We will issue you with a booking confirmation once we have confirmed availability based on your selected location, session time and number of players.
