FAQs
Do you offer school/Scout group discounts?
Yes — school groups get 20% off standard rates and Scout groups get 25% off. Book with us direct to apply them, and please bring proper adult-supervisor ratios.
Do you cater for children with SEND / additional needs?
Yes — please flag on booking. Our Splatmaster format (lower-velocity paintball) suits many children who couldn’t manage standard paintball. Our staff can adjust game pacing and zones to fit your group. No additional charge.
Are you open on Sundays?
Yes — Sundays 09:00-17:00. Sunday is our busiest day so book 2-3 weeks ahead for peak season (April-September).
Can we bring alcohol on site?
No alcohol during paintball (safety rules). Non-alcoholic drinks fine. Adult groups often plan a pub visit in Sandbach town after the session — we can recommend venues.
