A three-hour low-impact paintball session designed for younger players aged eight to eleven, with entry, kit, and unlimited ammo included. Parents can join in, making it a strong choice for birthdays and family groups who want children to experience paintball in a softer, supervised setting near Chester.
After check-in, children collect a paintball-grade mask, overalls, and a Gotcha low-impact marker. Marshals explain how the lighter equipment works, including the lower firing speed and smaller washable paintballs, before anyone walks onto the field for the first game.
Games run across the same military-base maps used for adult paintball, but objectives and pace suit younger players. Unlimited ammo means the focus stays on teamwork and fun rather than counting paintballs, and breaks between rounds give everyone time to rest, reload, and drink water before the next mission starts.
Sessions take place on a former Cold War military base on the Cheshire border, with bunkers, towers, and custom zones that give plenty of cover without needing long sprints across open ground.
Lower Kinnerton is within easy reach of Chester, Wrexham, and the wider North West, with on-site parking at Moor Lane once you arrive at The Gun Site.
Recommended for ages eight to eleven. Players should be comfortable following marshal instructions and moving around outdoor terrain for several hours. No previous paintball experience is needed.
Parents can take part in the same session. Standard paintball for ages 11 and over is a separate activity if older siblings or adults in the group want a faster game with full-power markers.
Gotcha markers deliver the feel of paintball at roughly 80 percent less impact, with non-toxic ammo that washes away with water. Unlimited paint is included in the session, so children can keep playing without stopping to top up mid-game.
Marshals supervise the full three hours from briefing to final round, and the historic military-base setting gives children a memorable backdrop that feels more adventurous than a basic woodland site.
The meeting point is The Gun Site, Moor Lane, Lower Kinnerton, CH4 9AQ. Parking is at the activity base on the Cheshire border near Chester and Wrexham.
Use postcode navigation for the final approach. Rural lanes can be narrow for larger vehicles.
Low-impact paintball uses spring-powered Gotcha markers that shoot at around 110 to 130 fps, with ammo about 27 percent smaller than standard paintballs. The impact is roughly 80 percent lower, which makes it easier for younger players to enjoy the game.
Marshals still run a full safety briefing and supervise every game. The format is designed as a gentle introduction to paintball rather than an intense adult session.
The session is recommended for ages eight to eleven, though parents and adults in the group can join in on the same session. Players must follow marshal instructions throughout.
Anyone aged 11 or over who wants a faster-paced game should look at the standard paintball session instead.
Your session includes site entry, a paintball-grade mask, overalls, a Gotcha marker, and unlimited paintballs for the three hours. All kit is checked before games start.
Marshals stay with the group for the full session, from the safety briefing through to the final game.
Wear old clothes and trainers or boots with grip. Overalls go on top, but the playing areas can be muddy after rain.
Bring a warm layer and a water bottle. Gloves are optional but can help smaller hands hold the marker comfortably.
Games use the same military-base setting as the adult sessions, but missions are paced for younger players. Marshals explain each objective clearly before play starts and keep the tone fun rather than competitive.
Breaks between games let everyone reload, drink water, and rest before the next round. The two hours include briefing, play, and kit return.
Sessions usually run in light rain. Wear a layer under the overalls and bring spare socks. Play stops only if conditions are unsafe.
There is no indoor arena, so plan to be outside for the full three hours.
The meeting point is The Gun Site, Moor Lane, Lower Kinnerton, CH4 9AQ, near Chester and Wrexham. Parking is on site once you follow signs to the activity base.
Allow a few extra minutes on rural lanes if you are arriving in a minibus or coach.
Low-impact sessions run seven days a week at the Lower Kinnerton site. The format suits birthday parties, family groups, and school holiday outings where parents want children to try paintball in a softer setting.
Marshals adjust the pace and objectives so younger players stay engaged across the full two hours.
Yes. Parents are welcome to join the same session and play alongside their children. Everyone wears the supplied protective kit and follows the marshal's safety rules on the field.
Adults in the group who want a faster standard game can also look at the separate paintball session for players aged 11 and over.
Children should be comfortable following instructions and moving around outdoor terrain for a few hours. The games involve walking, crouching, and short bursts of movement rather than long runs.
No previous paintball experience is needed, and marshals explain each game before it starts so nobody feels lost on the field.
