Spend three hours on a former Cold War military base near Chester, playing mission-based paintball across bunkers, towers, and custom-built arenas. Entry and full protective kit are included, and marshals keep the games moving from the safety briefing through to the final round.
After check-in at The Gun Site, you collect overalls, face protection, and a marker, then join a safety briefing covering distances, game rules, and how each mission works. Marshals then lead your group through a series of games across the base, from assaulting bunkers to holding objectives in open ground, with objectives that change from round to round.
The three hours are structured around gameplay rather than waiting around. Short breaks between missions let you reload, grab water, and reset before the next game, while marshals stay with your group to explain each objective and keep play safe. Mixed-ability groups are normal, so first-timers and regular players can share the same session without feeling left behind.
The venue is a genuine Cold War military installation on the Cheshire border, close to Chester and Wrexham. Real concrete bunkers, towers, ammunition storage, and gun emplacements sit alongside purpose-built game zones, giving plenty of cover and changing terrain from match to match.
Lower Kinnerton is easy to reach from Chester, Wrexham, and the wider North West. On-site parking is available at The Gun Site on Moor Lane once you arrive at the activity base.
Players must be 11 or over and comfortable taking part in outdoor physical activity on uneven ground. You need to follow marshal instructions throughout, including safe movement around the playing areas and correct use of the protective kit provided.
No previous paintball experience is required. Wear old clothes and sturdy closed-toe footwear under the overalls. Younger players aged eight to eleven should join the separate low-impact session, which uses lighter equipment designed for children.
The military-base setting gives a different feel from a standard woodland paintball site, with historic structures woven into the game zones rather than added as props. Entry and kit are part of every session, so you arrive, get briefed, and get straight into the action.
Experienced marshals run the games from start to finish, keeping objectives clear and the pace varied across the full three hours. It suits birthdays, stag and hen groups, and corporate teams looking for an active outdoor session near Chester without travelling far into rural Wales.
The meeting point is The Gun Site, Moor Lane, Lower Kinnerton, CH4 9AQ. The site sits on the Cheshire border near Chester and Wrexham, with parking at the activity base once you follow on-site signs.
Use postcode navigation for the final approach. Rural lanes can be narrow, so allow a few extra minutes if you are arriving in a larger minibus or coach.
No previous paintball experience is needed. Marshals run a full safety briefing before any games start, covering marker use, safe distances, and how to move around the playing zones.
Games are designed for mixed groups, so first-timers and regular players can share the same session. Your marshal stays on the field throughout to keep play fair, organised, and enjoyable for everyone.
Your session includes site entry, a paintball marker, protective overalls, face protection, and paintballs for the games. Marshals check all kit before you head onto the maps.
Safety equipment is maintained on site and fitted before the briefing. Everything you need to take part in the games is supplied once you arrive.
Wear old clothes you do not mind getting dusty or marked, plus trainers or boots with good grip. Overalls go on top, but the ground can be muddy or uneven after rain.
Bring a warm or waterproof layer for cooler days and a water bottle. Gloves are optional but can help with grip on the marker during longer games.
Players must be 11 or over for standard paintball. Younger children from age eight can take part in the separate low-impact session, which uses lighter markers and smaller ammo.
All players need to follow marshal instructions and stay within the safety rules for the full three-hour session.
Games rotate through themed zones across a former Cold War military base, with real bunkers, towers, and gun emplacements alongside custom-built arenas. Objectives change from game to game so the session stays varied.
Marshals explain each mission before play starts. Short breaks between games give you time to reload, drink water, and reset before the next round.
Sessions usually run in light rain. Wear a layer under the overalls and bring spare socks. Play only stops if conditions are unsafe for markers or movement on the maps.
There is no indoor arena, so plan to be outside for the full three hours. Marshals build in water breaks on warmer days.
The meeting point is The Gun Site, Moor Lane, Lower Kinnerton, CH4 9AQ, on the Cheshire border near Chester and Wrexham. Parking is available on site once you follow signs to the activity base.
Postcode navigation is usually reliable. If you are travelling from North Wales or the Wirral, allow a few extra minutes for rural lanes on the approach.
Paintball sessions run seven days a week at the Lower Kinnerton site. Morning, afternoon, and full-day windows are available depending on the date and how busy the site is.
The military-base setting means games can run in most weather, with marshals adjusting the pace if conditions change during the day.
You should be comfortable walking, crouching, and moving across uneven outdoor ground for several hours. The pace is active but marshals allow breaks between games so you can catch your breath.
No specialist fitness is required, and mixed-ability groups are common for birthdays, stag and hen parties, and corporate team days.
No outside paint or markers are permitted. All kit is supplied and checked on site so every player uses the same safe equipment and paint.
Spectators should stay in the base area rather than walking onto live game zones. Marshals need a clear view of the field to keep games running safely.
