Paintball

If you are booked in for the full day (09:30-16:30) or the morning session (09:30-12:30) you must arrive at 09:00 sharp. All group members must sign-in, have their kit issued and receive a safety brief before 09:30 when our first games start therefore it is imperative that your whole group arrive at 09:00.

If you are booked for the afternoon session only (13:30-16:30) we ask that you arrive at 13:00 sharp as above.

We strongly recommend that you play in comfortable footwear, ideally either trainers or boots with good ankle support. You will be provided with coveralls do keep the worst of the mud off of your clothes but a change of clothes may also be a good idea if it’s particularly wet. Armoured paintball gloves are available on site but your also more than welcome to bring your own.

It’s only on a very rare occasion that we have to cancel our events due to extreme weather therefore unless we are flooded or the roads to the site are too dangerous for us to ask our customers to travel .We will be open if rain, snow or shine. In the unlikely event we are forced to cancel a day due to weather conditions we will make every effort to re-schedule your booking.

The short answer is yes – it can sting if you are shot at very close range although every safety precaution has been made, including providing all of our players with top quality safety equipment, to make sure you have an enjoyable and safe day. At worst you’ll come away with a few bruises to show off!

We require a minimum of 6 players to open the site for any session although if you have a small group size we will more than likely be able to join your group in with other small groups on the day to meet the 6 player requirement. To have a private paintball game playing against members of you own group, you will need to bring a minimum of 40 players or request own marshal (charges will apply). 

We have a great tuck shop on site stocked with a wide variety of crisps, chocolate bars and juice.

You can pre-order hot dogs (we need at least 3 days notice).

For Paintball walk on- please order your food in the morning at the check-in. 

Visit our Wooden Cabin where you can purchase hot drinks to keep warm and energized.
For your convenience and safety, we accept contactless payments only at the Wooden Cabin.

Anyone who is physically fit and over the age of 12 years of age can play paintball with us. Players who are under the age of 16 on the game date will need a parent or guardian to sign them in upon arrival. 

You are more than welcome to bring your own equipment along on the day. All we ask is that your air tank is in test, your marker is chronographed within our safety limits and that any other equipment (masks etc.) are up to our standards. 

Due to health and safety reasons regarding the safe storage of paintballs we only allow paintballs purchased on site to be used.

This depends on whether your with us for a full or half day and whether you fancy yourself as a bit of a Rambo too! On average players use between 400-500 for a half day and 600-1000 for a full day.

We have a unisex changing room which you are more than welcome to make use of. We provide full body coveralls which are worn over the top of your own clothes therefore you should really only need to change your shoes (if it's particulalry muddy) as opposed to changing your clothes. We do suggest a change of clothes if it's very wet as the coveralls keep the mud and paint off but are not water proof.

We are located just 14 miles from Aberdeen City Centre off of the B9125 5 miles from Westhill and 4 miles before Banchory.

Players aged 16 and above can sign themselves in.

Parents are welcome to join the games, enjoy a cuppa in our Wooden Cabin, or explore nearby shopping and entertainment options. It's all about flexibility and ensuring everyone enjoys the day in their own way.
