All centres are vetted for safety and quality. Your adventure is in good hands with adventuro.
A morning or afternoon session in 35 acres of woodland less than five minutes outside Thatcham, near Newbury. Marshals issue your marker, camouflage overalls and full-face protection, lead a safety briefing, then run games through varied game zones. The base camp safe zone has food, drink and toilet facilities on site. Book with 300 paintballs included, or choose 500 if you want more ammo for a busier session without topping up on the day.
Your group meets at Burdens Heath, collect camouflage overalls, a marker and full-face protection, then join a safety briefing covering distances, game rules and how the maps work. Your marshal explains the first objective before you head into the trees.
Games rotate through woodland zones across the 35-acre site. Short breaks between rounds give you time to reload, grab a drink and reset at the base camp safe zone. Extra paint is available on the day if you want more ammo.
The site sits at Burdens Heath, RG7 6SX, near Thatcham and Newbury in Berkshire woodland.
Allow a few extra minutes at weekends if you are coming from Reading, Hungerford or along the M4.
Players must be 11 or over and comfortable taking part in outdoor activity on uneven woodland 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.
