While we provide industry-leading equipment, you are welcome to bring certain items of your own gear.
Please note that all personal equipment is subject to the final approval of the Centre Manager on the day to ensure it meets our strict safety standards.
- Goggles: You may use your own goggles provided they are specifically designed for paintball, feature a full-face mask, and have not been modified. They must be in excellent condition to pass our safety inspection.
- Paintball Markers (Guns): You may bring your own marker to our national centres only if you have booked a Private Game. The marker must be compatible with our gas bottles and will be subject to a mandatory chronograph test.
- Gas Cylinders (Strict Policy): We do not allow customers to bring their own gas cylinders to any of our centres under any circumstances. This is a vital safety protocol to ensure the integrity of the equipment on-site.
- Paintballs: For safety and insurance reasons, we operate a “Site-Only” paint policy. Only paintballs purchased at the centre may be used in our game zones.
- Armoured Gloves: Many players prefer to bring their own armoured gloves for extra protection, though professional pairs are also available for purchase at our on-site shop.
Contact & Verification
If you have questions about specific gear, please contact our booking office on 0203 989 5996 to verify your equipment before you arrive.
No. For health, safety, and environmental reasons, only paintballs issued by the paintball centre on the day of your event may be used.
-
Quality & Safety: We ensure our paintballs are fresh and stored correctly so they break on impact. Paintballs taken off-site cannot be brought back and used at a later date, as we cannot verify their storage conditions or safety once they leave our care.
-
Environmental Protection: We use only fully biodegradable paintballs to protect the local woodland ecosystems.
-
Banking Unused Paint: If you have paintballs left over at the end of your session, you don’t have to lose them! You can leave them with the Centre Manager, who will credit the remaining amount to your booking profile for use on your next visit.
At Epic Paintball Events, your comfort and safety are our highest priorities.
While you may feel a slight “sting” similar to a quick flick of a rubber band, our industry-leading safety gear is specifically designed to minimise impact. To ensure a comfortable experience, we provide all players with:
- Bespoke Body Armour: Our custom-designed plates protect the torso, significantly reducing the feel of any impact.
- Full-Body Combat Suits: These thick suits feature integrated padded neck collars for extra protection in sensitive areas.
- Full-Head Goggle Systems: Our goggles wrap entirely around the head, protecting the ears, temples, and face.
- Professional Marshalling: Our marshals enforce a strict distance rule, ensuring no one is shot from close range.
- Armoured Tactical Gloves: Highly recommended to protect your hands and knuckles, these are available for purchase at our on-site shop on the day of your event.
Pro-Tip for Comfort
For maximum comfort, we recommend wearing loose, layered clothing (like gym wear) underneath your combat suit. This adds a natural buffer while allowing you to move freely through game zones.
At Epic Paintball Events, we believe the adventure should be accessible to as many people as possible.
There are no strict height or weight restrictions, though we do recommend the following for your comfort and safety:
- Bespoke Equipment: We provide custom-designed body armour and combat suits in a wide range of sizes. Our equipment is adjustable and designed to accommodate various body types comfortably.
- Mobility & Terrain: Our game zones are located in natural woodland. Players should be able to navigate uneven bushland terrain, slopes, and forest floors reasonably comfortably.
- Safety First: For your safety, we must be able to ensure that our protective goggles and body armour fit correctly and securely.
- Ask our Team: If you have specific concerns about sizing or mobility, please call our booking office on 0203 989 5996. Our team is experienced in assisting groups of all sizes and can provide further details on our equipment specifications.
