Awesome fun, if you enjoy racing around the woods shooting at your friends. And why not?!…read more If you've paintballed before, you'll know the score. If you havenm't - basically you rock up to the site, are given a space-age helmet and cammo coveralls to wear, and a gun that's filled with biodegradeable 'paintballs'. You're divided into two teams, and you tromp off into the woods after the instructors brief you on safety - and the rules of the game. Then all hell breaks loose as each team tries to 'shoot' the other team member whilst staying un-shot themselves. If you find yourself splatted then you're out of the game. But all games run only about 15-20 minutes, so you won't be down and out for long! Paintball Warminster was where I took Junior and his friends for his birthday last year (perfect for teenage boys!) and I got an immense number of 'Cool Mum' brownie points! The folks there are very helpful and professional, and really went the extra mile to make the birthday great. There's a lovely covered waiting area, where you can sit and read or just veg out in the sunny woodland atmosphere (no danger of flying paintballs as the 'civilian area' is protected by a huge fence/netting.) There's rea and coffee and cold drinks and nibbles available throughout, at the kiosk - and flushing toilets just around the corner. The meals are hearty and filling - inclusive in the price of some deals, and just the thing to tuck into after racing around for several hours. Thee time passes very quickly indeed, and it's glorious fun! Be sure to take anough money to purchase extra paintballs though, because no matter how many you think you'll need, you always need more! Totally reccomend this place, for friends having a wacky day out, or a birthday with a difference. The site also does go-karting (which we've also tried!) and has lazer-quest soon to be added to it's list of attractions. I can keep junior happy on birthday outings forever here!!

I bought the Groupon vouchers - my son has been desperate to go paintballing and now he is 12 he is…read moreold enough. I rang and spoke to Tracey - she was clear, helpful and not at all dismissive as I thought she might be as we were getting it 'on the cheap'! We arrived early, having been given clear directions, and saw a busy little army of orange tops getting the place ready. The place opened on time, the staff were very efficient and friendly. The equipment and clothes were in good condition and the overalls particularly were worn but immaculately laundered and pressed - clearly getting dressed in the gear is a major part of the fun ... The marshals were clear and set the right tone/balance between safety and fun. The group for the day was made up of 3 parties I believe: ourselves, a small group of boys, and a large mixed group that I assume were sixth formers. For me these people made all the difference - they were a thoroughly good bunch - for what anyone says they were a great deal better behaved and well-adjusted than we would have been as teenagers! The lunch was freshly made, and appropriate for the day that was in it. I can see that skirmish is a business and that a large part of the money is made on the sale of paintballs - frankly that is fair enough, and I can see that taking a party of kids can rack up the cost (as I am sure I will find out), but there is nothing underhand in this, and I am sure that with good planning and preaching to 'preserve your ammo' will keep the cost down, but people go to run around and splat paint, and that is worth paying a few pounds for - much better than Call of Duty. I don't normally write reviews but I can see how hard these people are trying to run a good operation and think it only fair to let them know that it is working - we had a great day out, and I am sure we will be back although probably mob-handed next time if my son has any say in it...

My sons and I recently went paintballing at the Delta Force paintball site in Southampton. I booked…read morein four of us but a couple of days before the event, my sons wanted to bring a few of their friends so after a quick phone call I was a able to add five extra players to our booking. Come the day, the site was quite hard to find so we arrived ten or fifteen minutes late. We quickly had to fill out some registration forms, grab our equipment (a helmet, black overalls, ammo holder and a paintball hopper), buy our paintballs and get put into a team with some other guys and girls. The manager of the site then gave a safety brief which didn't really leave any stone unturned and then we were taken out into the games. The day followed this pattern Play two ten-minute halves of each 'game zone', swapping sides for each half before being taken back to the basecamp for a quick break to top up on paintballs, use the toilet and grab a drink. We would then repeat this process until half way through the day when we had lunch, which consisted of pizzas. I couldn't eat much of mine (as I'm currently on a diet) but they were good and the boys enjoyed them especially! After lunch we were taken out into the games again. Throughout the day we played a capture the huts game on a village field, a raise the flag on the fort game, a high adrenaline total annihilation game called 'speedball' and a couple of others. The whole day seemed like it went by far too quickly but we all had a lot of fun! So much so that we are all going back again next month with a group of thirty of us! Thanks again Delta Force.
