A typical day is divided into two sessions:

• • Morning Session: Approx. 10:00 am – 1:00 pm (Winter: 9:00 am – 12:00 pm)

  • Afternoon Session: Approx. 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm (Winter: 12:30 pm – 3:30 pm) Expect to play 4–6 varied game zones during your session, with refreshment breaks in between.

Yes, you are more than welcome to eat at our centres. To ensure your group stays energised for the day’s missions, we provide the following facilities:

• Picnics & Packed Lunches: We encourage players to bring their own packed lunches and plenty of fluids. Staying hydrated is key to a great day on the field!

• Lunch Timing: To maximize your time on the game zones, we recommend that players leave their main lunch meals for after their paintball session. There are short refreshment breaks between games for quick snacks and water.

• Sheltered Base Camp: Every centre features a large, sheltered base camp with picnic seating. This is your “safe zone” where your group can relax and enjoy their food after game sessions.

• On-Site Snacks: Our on-site shops stock a selection of cold drinks, chocolates, and light snacks should you need a quick energy boost.

• Catering Note: Please note that we do not offer on-site catering (such as hot meals) or food delivery services.

• Celebrating a Birthday? You are more than welcome to bring a birthday cake to the base camp to celebrate with your group.

While spectators are not permitted on the active field for safety reasons, our base camp features sheltered seating where parents and friends can relax and meet players during breaks.

For the best safety and comfort on the day, we recommend the following:

• Footwear: We strongly recommend boots with ankle support and deep tread. Woodland terrain can be slippery, and proper grip is essential for active play. While wellington boots are waterproof, they typically lack the necessary ankle support for running. Old trainers are acceptable, but sandals, flip-flops, and open-toed shoes are strictly prohibited.

• Clothing: Wear old, comfortable clothing (such as tracksuits or leggings) underneath the full-body combat suit we provide. We highly recommend bringing a complete change of clothes and a towel for the end of the day.

• Professional Safety Gear (Included): Your admission includes our industry-leading protection: full-head goggles, bespoke body armour, and a combat suit with an integrated padded neck collar.

• Armoured Gloves: While we protect your head and body, your hands remain a sensitive area. Armoured gloves are available for purchase at our on-site shop to provide maximum protection during gameplay.

• Payment: Please bring cash or a card (PIN-verified) for the shop. You will need this for snacks, refreshments, or purchasing extra paintballs and equipment upgrades.

No. Delta Force Paintball West London operates a strict zero-alcohol policy at all our national centres to ensure the safety of all participants.

• Safety & Insurance: Due to the physical nature of paintball and our commitment to a 5-star safety record, alcohol is strictly prohibited in both the base camp and the game zones. Our insurance policies require all players to be fully alert and unimpaired.

• Entry Requirements: Any player who is found to be under the influence of alcohol, or who attempts to bring alcohol onto the premises, will be excluded from the event and asked to leave the centre immediately without a refund.

• Post-Game Celebrations: While we want you to enjoy your day, we ask that you save any alcoholic celebrations for after you have left our venue.

Yes, sessions at Delta Force Paintball Manchester proceed in almost all weather conditions. Paintball is a premier all-weather outdoor activity, and our Manchester centre is fully equipped to ensure your group has a world-class experience, rain or shine.

Our All-Weather Manchester Facilities

• Sheltered Base Camp: Our Manchester centre features a large, undercover seating area in the base camp to keep your group dry and comfortable between missions.

• Secure Lockers: We provide on-site lockers at our Manchester location to ensure your valuables and dry clothes remain protected while you are out on the field.

Weather & Cancellation Policy

In the unlikely event that a session cannot proceed due to extreme weather, safety concerns, or “Force Majeure Events” (circumstances beyond reasonable human control), Delta Force Paintball reserves the right to issue a full-value credit for the booking instead of a refund.

• Credit Flexibility: This credit is valid for a future booking date at any of our available UK locations.

• Fully Transferable: The credit may be used by the original customer or transferred to another person.

• Safety Standards: Decisions to postpone are only made if a Centre Manager deems conditions unsafe for players or staff.

Pro-Tip for Manchester Players:

The Manchester woodland can get muddy! We highly recommend bringing a towel and a spare change of clothes to leave in your vehicle. This ensures a warm and comfortable journey home after your day of action.
