20/3/2020 : URGENT UPDATE - VENUE CLOSURE! Following this evening's announcement from the UK Government regarding the latest briefing on the Coronavirus outbreak, we are deeply saddened to announce that the team here at Combat Zone Paintball has been left with no choice but to take the difficult decision to temporarily close our venue until further notice.

We will continue to closely monitor the situation over the next few days weeks and respond with speed to any changes that may occur or develop. This has not been an easy decision to make and we appreciate all the support and messages from customers, employees and suppliers who are also feeling the impact of this unprecedented worldwide situation. We believe that this decision is the correct thing to do in order to protect the health and well being of our customers, staff and the wider community. All customers with bookings in the immediate future will be contacted directly in the coming days. Our crew have already begun that process this evening. These are difficult times for everyone. We thank our crew and customers for their understanding and look forward to welcoming everyone back in the near future.

16/3/2020: 

It is hard to miss the on-going saga with the Coronavirus (covid 19) here in the UK. Each day the government introduces new measures and restrictions. Currently our business is still trading and will continue to do so within the governments advice. Recently we have reduced the maximum group sizes allowed on site and lowered our minimum number. This means small groups of people can get together and have their own private fields but also means we do not have large groups of people mixing.

Our company procedures & policies set out below are not in reaction to the current Coronavirus as this is something we have always done every session for the past 20 years!

1. All equipment is washed after every session in house (you will never be given dirty coveralls worn by somebody else). Gloves rented to players are also washed, and gloves which are purchased are brand new and sealed.

2. All goggles (full face masked) are stripped down to their component parts and cleaned/ sterilised after each session.

3. The paintball marker used for the day is only used by you. Other paintball sites share markers, but we like everyone to have their own dedicated marker.

4. All groups have their own separate dedicated seating bays.

5. We have proper toilets (not just plastic port-a-loos), with running water, sinks and antibacterial soap!

6. We use a force surrender rule, so you should never be closer than 6m from enemies on the field.

7. We also allow no physical contact on the fields (obviously!).

There are numerous articles and studies to show the benefits of trees and woodland, not only for the environment but also to people. Although at combat zone paintball the idea of having a leisurely stroll through the woods may not happen. More than likely, you will be chasing or being chased by somebody trying to shoot at you.

For players who are currently booked or are planning to visit us, please find a link to our booking terms and conditions. Any groups who are booked and are unable to make their sessions due to the coronovirus, they will be offered an alternative date in the future.
