Whether you are organising a birthday celebration, a stag or hen party, a corporate team day or simply looking for a weekend thrill, planning a paintball experience comes with lots of questions. How long does the day run? What should you bring? How many people do you need?

**Breaks during the day**

Wearing the right clothing makes your day more comfortable. Choose clothes you do not mind getting muddy and sturdy footwear with good grip, as most games are outdoors and underfoot can be uneven. Dressing in layers is a smart idea for variable weather.
