PAINTBALLING
What is Turn Up & Play Paintball?
Every weekend you can literally do just as it says – no need to book, no deposit necessary, no minimum numbers – just turn up!
When is it open?
We are open every weekend and every Wednesday during School Holidays.
What are your opening times?
We open at 10am and close when the last person has run out of paintballs! We suggest not getting here later than 3pm. Due to Health and Safety we have to close when it gets dark although we are looking at flood lighting the area.
What if it’s raining?
We are OPEN IN ALL WEATHERS!!
What do I get for £5?
For this you will get all you need to play – overalls, goggles, gun and a 100 Paintballs.
Does it hurt?
You know when you’ve been hit! But out of over 14,000 people who played last year only 5 stopped playing because of it hurting!
Do you have any protection?
You can hire ‘Body Armour’, Gloves, and Head Covers for £2 an item or £5 for all three (a small deposit will be needed).
How much is extra Paintballs?
Extra Paintballs are £7.50 for 200 Paintballs.
How old do you have to be to play?
We cater from 8 years and up. We do our best to run the juniors separate from adults although this cannot be guaranteed. If you have a party of 8 children or more for a party we can guarantee it as this is enough to run a game.
What happens when I turn up?
Once you turn up you will be asked to fill out a disclaimer (NB anyone under 16 will need an adult to sign their
disclaimer) and then ask how much Paint you would like. Once you have paid, you will be issued with our Army overalls and usually within 10 minutes will be given a safety talk. After the safety talk you should be playing within 10-15 minutes.
What if there are only two of us/ Can I turn up on my own?
Just turn up and we will join you in with the rest!
Can we play by ourselves if there is a big group of us?
We will always try and cater for our customers needs but we can never promise – we have so far always managed to run big groups (15 or more) separately and we will endeavour to do so!
How long does it take?
100 Paintballs last approximately half an hour (£5)
300 paintballs approx an hour and a half (£12.50)
500 Paintballs approx two and a half hours (£20)
1000 Paintballs approx four hours (£35)
1500 Paintballs All Day!! (£50) We recommend a minimum of 300 Paintballs to fully appreciate our Paintball experience!!
What do I need to bring?
Just yourself, footwear that could get muddy, and some money!
Can I buy food there?
There are catering facilities at the site which sells all types of Burgers, Hotdogs, and Bacon Rolls etc or if you fancy something a bit more you can always visit Sands Café/Bar in the main building.
PAINTBALLING - JUNIOR PARTY BOOKINGS
Party Bookings are available but timings are approximate, and there may be a slight wait if we are busy! Again we will endeavour to have you playing as close as possible to your booking time as we run a first come first served policy!
Party food (Platters of Burgers, Hotdogs, and Chips) can be supplied with unlimited drinks for an extra £5 a person at Sands Café/Bar in the
main complex. Please note the unlimited drinks are at Sands Café and NOT at the paintball arena, but there are facilities there to purchase drinks.
You are welcome to bring your own Birthday cake to either venue. For Junior Paintball (10 or more players) the games are run differently to the adults whom the Marshalls will discuss with the parents.
Games are played so the juniors cannot get to close to each other so the shooting will be from a distance.
The Head Marshall will have final say to Junior Paintballers to whether they play or not. This will depend on behaviour of the juniors. Safety is obviously our main concern and the Marshalls will allow the juniors to have fun but will be very strict with any junior’s missbehaving.

with your original booking date and name and the new date you would like to book for.
Is there disabled access?
We do have disabled toilets.
Which ride is faster and more extreme?
Both experiences are very different although the harness is more extreme as you are going head over heels.
How big are the balls?
The balls stand 3 metres high.
What is the difference between Harness and Hydro Zorbing?
Harness Zorbing – Two people harnessed in safely facing each other then go head over heels down our run with a few bounces!
Hydro Zorbing - Can be done on your own, in pairs or with three people at a time. You dive inside with the equivalent to 2 buckets of water (warm water on cold days). Sat on the bottom, when launched, you slip and slide as the ball rotates around you! The best fun ever!!!!
Are there any height weight or age restrictions for Zorbing?
Harness Zorbing - Must be 4ft 5 high and maximum joint weight must not exceed 28 stone (180kg) Hydro Zorbing - Age 6 and over, maximum weight for multiple riders must not exceed 40 stone (250kg) Parents or a guardian over 18 must accompany anyone under 18 on the day of the experience and countersign a waiver form.
Can I come Zorbing without a gift voucher?
Yes you can, there is a facility to buy and book your date straight away.
When can I make my booking for my Zorbing Experience?
Purchases for rides and gift vouchers can be made all year round. Just call 01233 645858
I already have a voucher and want to book my Zorbing experience?
Just call 01233 645858 to book now
When do you have to cancel the Zorbing experience?
Zorbing is most affected by wind speed and direction, and therefore due to Health & Safety, Great Chart Golf and Leisure will: Cancel all Zorbing operations if wind speeds are deemed to be too high.
Why do you sometimes cancel the Harness Zorbing and not the Hydro?
For Harness Zorbing two people are harnessed facing each other with the weight distribution centred in the middle and any down wind makes it go far to fast. For Hydro Zorbing the weight distribution is totally different you are based in the bottom with the extra weight of the water.
Do you have changing facilities?
Yes we have male and female Toilets.
Can we bring spectators?
You certainly can!
Can I bring my dog?
All dogs welcome as long as they are kept on a lead.
Can I take pictures?
Yes you can, within the viewing areas for personal use only, not commercial.
How long will I be on site?
For individual bookings please allow 1/2 hour.
When are you open?
We are operating from 27th March until 31st October 2010 and our site is open to the public between 10am and 5pm.
