Skirmish Warminster

Disappointing. Took four children quadbiking as a treat, booked well in advance. When we arrived nothing was ready, two surly teenaga girls who clearly didn’t want to be there were trying to lay out the track with tyres (incompetently). We were left waiting for almost an hour. Finally they got the rather dilapidated quad bikes out and one wouldn’t start, and one wouldn’t stop! Eventually they called their Uncle who came and did get the bikes working and took the kids out on the track and then through the woods (because the track was so bad and my daughter fell off). He was nice enough, but the place is falling to bits, there are paintballs everywhere, facilities are very basic and it is not well run or cared for. For what we got it was expensive. Would not recommend. Unprofessional and shabby which is a shame because it could be really good in a lovely location.

I visited Skirmish Paintball with College right at the beginning of the year and had a great day out. Everyone says paint balls hurt but they really do not hurt lol. I believe it is quite cheap however for me it was free when I went. I got lots of time and lots of paint balls.

Awesome fun, if you enjoy racing around the woods shooting at your friends. And why not?!
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!
