Paint-balling in Manchester

All bookings include paintball gloves, guns, paint carrier, body armour and full protective face mask, so you will have everything you need to play the game safely. The venue is open for bookings 7 days per week and games do need to be booked in advance. If you are a lone player or just in a small group, then you won’t be excluded – the arena has no minimum group size at the weekends, so you don’t have to be part of a massive team to participate. However – if you do want to bring a big group, that’s fine too – the venue offers private games for teams of 20 or more at no extra cost!

As Paintballing can be a little ‘scary’ and the equipment can be quite heavy – the site has a minimum age policy of 11 years old. With this in mind, the venue encourages bookings for 12th birthday parties and the safety equipment and high levels of supervision are all in place for a brilliant and safe time. For players aged 10 – 12 years, the venue has also introduced ‘Junior Mini Paintball’ which uses smaller and lighter paintballs, therefore resulting in less pain and less mess! The smaller guns are also child friendly, allowing kids to move around easily and make the most of the experience.

Often, Paintballing can be frustrating as you pay lots of money for a game and then it’s over in seconds because you have been shot! The Paintball Arena has overcome this by making 50% of their games ‘Respawn Games’. This means that for the whole period of the game, no one is eliminated – when you are shot, you simply return to your start point, are wiped down by a marshal, and then you return to the game! This means you have maximum ‘play’ time and in turn, better value for money.

While the venue offers hot and cold drinks, crisps and chocolate, there are no café facilities – however there is a local pub and a McDonalds & Subway close by, so you won’t go hungry!
