Harrogate Paintball

Business ReviewsLocal News

It’s a scene from Black Hawk Down. Your mission is to rescue pilots from the crashed helicopter. The enemy are laying down heavy fire. Your squad breaks out from cover, firing as they go and throwing smoke grenades to cover their advance.

You get both pilots out but as you run for cover, one is hit. He goes down – leave him. Around you other comrades are falling, taking rounds from the enemy, adrenalin is coursing through your veins as you dash to get the surviving pilot back to safety. You throw yourselves behind cover and… the whistle goes. Up you get, join the other players, guns down and take off your masks and tell your stories of who shot who, when and how!

Another paintball game at Harrogate Paintball Centre is over – but no worries, there are plenty more to come: attacking the river bridges, storming the bunker complex or the missile launch pad, clearing the village of enemy, assaulting the beach-head and many more.

Harrogate Paintball Centre is Yorkshire’s premier woodland paintball site with a dozen game fields spread over 50 acres of woods. It couldn’t be easier to get to – just 400 metres from Junction 47 of the A1(M) where the motorway is crossed by the A59 York to Harrogate road.

Players from 9 years old can enjoy a thrilling game of paintball – low impact 50 calibre paintball for the youngest players and regular 68 calibre paintball for anyone over 11 years old.

Prices start at £20 per person for low impact paintball (we call it ‘Tball because it’s paintball without the pain). Tball sessions last about two hours and include all the kit needed to play and 300 paintballs, issued at the rate of 50 paintballs a game to make sure the youngsters get six games during their session (and that parents don’t face an unwelcome bill for extra paint!).

Regular paintball packages start at £25 per person, again including all the kit needed and 300 paintballs – suitable for a half-day session for those short on time. Full day packages are £35 per person including 500 paintballs or, for the more trigger happy, £45 including 700 paintballs. Under-16s on a full day package have a hot snack included.

Harrogate Paintball Centre is a UK Paintball Sports Federation accredited facility, all players are covered by player and public liability insurance and looked after by some of the most professional paintball staff in the business. First aid trained staff are always on site.

With ample car-parking, plumbed in washrooms, undercover seating areas and on-site catering, everything’s in place to help you get the best out of a fun-packed day.

And if you don’t fancy paintballing – or want to do something else as well – Harrogate Paintball Centre offers:

  • one-man motorised tanks that you can jump into and hunt down enemy tanks (firing paintballs, of course, not real shells) on our dedicated tank battleground;
  • archery and crossbow target shooting;
  • a sniper and pistol range;
  • a challenging low ropes assault course;
  • Bushcraft courses – your introduction to survival in the wild.

Bob Schofield of Harrogate Paintball Centre said: “Paintball is a high adrenalin sport and everyone has bags of fun: just check out our reviews on Trip Advisor or the feedback from hundreds of clients on our website to see what a great time our customers enjoy.

But having fun does not compromise safety. “Fun and safety go hand-in-hand. We entertain many birthday party groups of youngsters and we know parents organising these parties feel responsible their children and their friends. So we have a strong focus on safety, making sure players have a great time whilst ensuring they play is a safe way. And that applies equally to adult players, as to youngsters,” said Bob.

He added: “Whether it’s a birthday party, stag or hen do, corporate event or just a group of friends or workmates, you can be sure of a great day out.
