I have little experience of what to look for at a Paintball site apart from Health and Safety and whether the punters were enjoying themselves. On arrival I was greeted by two staff with a friendly wave and taken to meet the owners. Fortunately, there were several schools arriving as well as groups of adults. It appears Campaign has been owned by the same guys for over 20 yearsthe site is vast and what I saw totally reassured me. Interestingly, the first school to be briefed was a school that I knew really well having worked there many years ago so I was able to speak to the pupils and teachers as the morning went on. They liked the equipment, the variety of themed areas and the banter of the marshals. Some games were extremely tactical and serious stuff. It was obvious the adrenalin was flowing and every pupil I spoke to was fully engaged and loving it. Lunch was also provided in the price. Most groups I spoke to had been before, and this backed up what the owners said about repeat business and making the experience bespoke for 'their customers'. In conclusion a well run operation, clear instructions, heavy focus on safety (I was given a briefing and had to wear the goggles, protective gear on the range even at lunchtime) and what seems like new equipment. I intend to take a large group of dads (and daughters) to Campaign very soon.

Excellent place for a day out…read more I have been to Campaign three times now. I had such a blast on my 21st birthday many moons ago that I arranged an outing for work. Last saturday I dutifully arranged my best mate Jon's stag party. Really pleased to say we weren't let down by Campaign.. These guys certainly take a lot of care in what they do and I can't praise them highly enough. Thanks again.

Brilliant day of paintballing ! We have been regular paintballers for the last 15 years and have…read moretried most of the venues in the South of England - this location is by far the best. Great maps and the staff are professional. Be sure to loadout with grenades to give you the edge over the enemy... Big shout out to the head marshall Joe - thanks for looking after us !

My sons and I recently went paintballing at the Delta Force paintball site in Southampton. I booked…read morein four of us but a couple of days before the event, my sons wanted to bring a few of their friends so after a quick phone call I was a able to add five extra players to our booking. Come the day, the site was quite hard to find so we arrived ten or fifteen minutes late. We quickly had to fill out some registration forms, grab our equipment (a helmet, black overalls, ammo holder and a paintball hopper), buy our paintballs and get put into a team with some other guys and girls. The manager of the site then gave a safety brief which didn't really leave any stone unturned and then we were taken out into the games. The day followed this pattern Play two ten-minute halves of each 'game zone', swapping sides for each half before being taken back to the basecamp for a quick break to top up on paintballs, use the toilet and grab a drink. We would then repeat this process until half way through the day when we had lunch, which consisted of pizzas. I couldn't eat much of mine (as I'm currently on a diet) but they were good and the boys enjoyed them especially! After lunch we were taken out into the games again. Throughout the day we played a capture the huts game on a village field, a raise the flag on the fort game, a high adrenaline total annihilation game called 'speedball' and a couple of others. The whole day seemed like it went by far too quickly but we all had a lot of fun! So much so that we are all going back again next month with a group of thirty of us! Thanks again Delta Force.

Is a bit off hand, but easy to reach by public transport. We went to North Greenwich and then took…read morea bus (8 stops) The place is in an industrial area and is literally next to the Thames Barriers, worthy to see if you have never seen them before. We booked an hour of laser tag with 3 games. It was really fun, more than expected. You dont need to run but you will get sweat a lot. Bring appropriate shoes and clothes as your shoes will get dirty and have fun. Great for a group experience. Then you can go for drinks to the O2 in Greenwich.

This place is pretty tucked away, it's right next to the Thames barrier pretty much. The venue itself in first sight is tiny, but when you get into the play arena's, WOW! the size of these arenas are immense and amazing. They are fun to run around in, and they are a great looking and great playing feel. I would gladly go back. Just a shame this one time I went, they offered a turn up and play deal. Normally you'd need to book, they need to do the turn up and play more often.

Would you voluntarily get shot by a rapid fire machine gun at close range? The answer that any…read moresound-minded person would give to such a question would be Absolutely not, unless of course you like paintball. Paintball (and I'm sure the't' is silent) is surely the juncture at which BDSM and sport meet; not that I'd wear PVC on the field; too conspicuous. Not enough padding. Mayhem is astonishingly easy to get to; unlike some of these fields tucked away in Kent, miles away from any form of public transport, this venue is on the central line. Just get off at Theydon Bois (it's in East London, in case you wondered) and the shuttle which comes once every 10 minutes, literally dumping you at their doorstep. Their attitude to safety is suitably militant; you won't get away with any rapid fire shots when no-one is expecting it or off you go. The ranges are very diverse; loads of woodlands, some trenches to get muddy in, a wild west saloon with not much coverage, which pretty much guarantees a good bruising. Fantastic. The food however is abysmal. Coke? Burgers? Fizzy rubbish? No fruit? Come on. At least spare me a banana I went with a women's extreme sports group called Adventure Dykes; what I was later to learn was that three of our team were in the army and the rest were regulars, which may go some way in explaining why we kicked our opponents' butts. And that's ultimately what's so good about it. It's all about the 'I win, you die' mentality. In the nicest possible way of course

I was leary of Mayhem - I'd heard some mixed things, but only later realised that not all of the…read morepaintballing places named Mayhem are actually run by the same guys. What a relief! This place is actually legit. Having never been paintballing before, I don't have much to compare it to, but overall there was little to be unhappy about. Whilst organisation occasionally felt shambolic at the beginning, that was more a reflection of how hard it is to herd stag do attendees and the like, rather than the marshals' lack of organisation. Marshals were friendly, clear and safety-conscious. They were extremely clear about not taking off helmets at any time, and were reassuringly hard-line about this. They were accommodating and helpful throughout. The variety of scenarios was good - we didn't even get to try all of them, even thoguh we were there the entire day. Facilities besides the arenas aren't the best, but then expectations are very low - it's a paintballing outfit on a farm, so toilets of questionable quality was always going to be a risk. On the plus side, whilst I dreaded how bad the food would be, the burgers were actually edible and nobody got food poisoning, so I consider that a fairly high bar set. Really easy to get to as you just take the Central line to Theydon Bois and then they send down a shuttle coach frequently. Couldn't ask for it to be easier. It also seemed to attract a good crowd; the regulars, at least, were all really nice/helpful and didn't do the kind of eye-rolling and snorting at the rookies that you might expect. All in all, it felt like what a good paintballing place should, at least to this first-timer. I'm certainly intending to return.
