Paintballing in Edinburgh

A morning or afternoon session on purpose-built game zones at Winchburgh, around 20 minutes from Edinburgh city centre. Marshals issue your marker, camouflage overalls and full-face protection, lead a safety briefing, then run objective-based games through woodland and themed arenas. Book with 300 paintballs included, or choose 500 if you want more ammo for a busier session without topping up on the day.

📋 Key Details

• Location: Craigton Farm, Winchburgh, near Edinburgh
• Minimum age: 11 years
• Start times: 9:30am or 1:00pm

🎯 What to Expect

Marshals greet you at Craigton Farm, collect camouflage overalls, a marker and full-face protection, then join a safety briefing covering distances, game rules and how each scenario works. Your marshal explains the first objective before you head onto the maps.

Games rotate through different zones so you are not repeating the same recapture all session. You might hold a position, escort teammates, or work as a team to take control of a themed arena. Short breaks between rounds give you time to reload, grab a drink and reset. Extra paint is available on the day if you want more ammo.

📍 Location

The site sits at Craigton Farm, Craigton House, Winchburgh, EH52 6PY, close to the M9 and around 20 minutes from Edinburgh. Players also travel from Kirkliston, Livingston, Fife and Ingliston.

For the entrance, use what3words ///coconuts.stated.tuned. On-site parking is available once you follow signs from the farm approach.

✅ Prerequisites

Players must be 11 or over and comfortable taking part in outdoor activity on uneven ground. You need to follow marshal instructions throughout, including safe marker use and staying in the designated playing areas.

No previous paintball experience is required. Wear old clothes and sturdy closed-toe footwear under the overalls. Bring a warm or waterproof layer in cooler weather.

🌲 Why Choose Us

Sessions run on purpose-built game zones with marshals who change the missions as the session goes on, rather than leaving you on one map. Hire includes the marker, camouflage overalls and full-face protection, plus biodegradable paintballs with your chosen package.
