Owner description:
Colchester Zoo is one of the finest Zoos in Europe with over 260 rare species in 60 acres. See "Playa Patagonia" with its 24 metre tunnel under the water to view sea lions swimming above your head and "Dragons of Komodo" for the infamous Komodo Dragons. At the "Spirit of Africa" you can see the breeding group of African elephants and at "Kingdom of the Wild" there's Zebras, Ostriches, White Rhinos, and Giraffes in a huge savannah style enclosure. Orangutan Forest opens 2009. Don't miss the chance to feed the elephants and giraffes yourself plus lots of other daily displays.

900 metres long... ten challenging corners... three full blast straights... two daunting hairpins... and the heart stopping Devil's Drop.. it all adds up to one of the fastest, most demanding kart circuits in the country. In a twin-engined Prokart, you'll be sitting an inch off the ground and hitting speeds of 60-70mph - definitely one of the most sensational experiences on four wheels

Owner description:
Colchester's distinctive heritage is nowhere more apparent than in Castle Park. A site of national importance, this Victorian Park contains evidence of 2000 years of history and is a landscape moulded by the people of Colchester over many eras.Castle Park not only encompasses much of Colchester's rich heritage within its boundaries but is much loved and used as a part of present day life. It boasts over 1 million visitors a year. Providing a green oasis in the town centre, you can sit, walk, enjoy music, play games, or picnic amongst wonderful flowers and trees. Its horticulture is award-winning and the park has long been a superb venue for the town's big events.The park itself is designated Grade II on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England.

Skirmish, one of the first companies to bring paintball games to the UK from America was established in 1984 and since then we have been successfully catering for all types of groups, individuals and corporate team building events for both adults and juniors (10yrs+)Our format makes booking in and participating easy. We can accommodate up to 180 players on an event day, but if your particular group is only a few in number you will be able to combine with other parties to make up the numbers. We know from experience that this is the best way to run a superb event, with everybody having a great day of fun. Birthday parties are very popular here!Paintball is a game to be played and enjoyed by people from all walks of life. You do not have to be young and fit, all you need is the ability to have fun and a sense of humour!Our well trained friendly staff are here to make sure your day runs smoothly and safely. All our marshals are over 25 yrs old with many years of paintball events management between them.
