I recently contacted Manchester Paintball Arena to request raffle prize donations to help fundraising for a local football team.
Their customer service was excellent, they got back to me straight away and were happy to help me by providing a prize.
I was very impressed with their prompt and friendly customer service and their willingness to help out a local community football team.
Thank so so much!

Organised a Stag Do here a few months ago. Sid was great. They took photos and shared them online. As Best Man, I even got roped into the Firing Squad. Despite the pain of those five seconds, I can still highly recommend this place!

Manchester Paintball Arena is an amazing site. Me & a couple of friends are regular paintball players that have our own kit & it's so nice that we are always welcome to join in the games here on a weekend when anybody can play. It is a very professional set up from the start to the end of the game. Safety is always paramount here & the marshals & staff do a great job. I highly recommend Manchester Paintball Arena to new & old players alike

I stumbled upon this by accident, I went for a drive and noticed a sign. It is just off the m60 motorway.
All i can say is it was the best paintball site i have been to, both just walked in and the staff were more than happy to let me join the groups for the rest of the afternoon.
They have one main arena a three smaller rooms to run around in, the speed and noise was intense, I have never played paintball like this before it was amazing. They have props like army bunkers, a car and even a seige scenario.
Safety is a big thing here which was great because other paintball places around manchester are not very safe when it comes to shooting paint at 100 mph at each other.
I would recomend this to anyone, male, female and teenagers, it was great day and cheap too.

They take safety very seriously. I came away with no bruises! Unheard of at a paintballing arena. They lend you all the kit including gloves (you can buy new ones but you dont have to). It was nice there was a female member of staff there: usually its a male centric activity.
The ladiea loo was funny in that it was a locked cubicle in the males toilets haha very odd but at least they were thinking of us as it was clean.
They have a mask washing station which was great and well catered.
They have lockers too which was handy.
Just overall a well kitted out activity compared to other paintball locations ive been to.

Came here as part of my stag do... Was initially hung over/terrified and pissed about being put in a pink sailor outfit haha, but after a round or two I had an absolute blast! Sid and the rest of the crew there were all amazing hosts too. Cheers lads! I’d give more stars if I could 👊😎

The arena is brilliant and the perfect size for small or large groups. As well as the main arena they have 2 side rooms which made it more fun. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful ensuring we had a great time. Especially Sid who ran our event. They have different games you can play and all the equipment was clean and well maintained. I would recommend this place to everyone and would never go outdoors again. Even our opponents who we'd never met were friendly, and a great laugh. Fantastic day out.

Spent a couple of hours here for my nephew's birthday party, the kids loved it and my son didn't stop talking about it for hours! He's 9 years old and you've a new paintball convert.
The marshall, Sid, was excellent - hard but fair! Some of the kids were a little bit too wild and excited at the start (talking over the safety instructions) so Sid was rightly telling them to be quiet otherwise we wouldn't play - I can imagine there could easily be an accident if they didn't listen or the marshall was less authoritative.
All in all a brilliant birthday party and I couldn't recommend it more.

Hi, does anyone have recommendations or advice for the party room hire? Booked for a group of 10 year olds and not sue whether to take own food, go to McDonalds or have pizza from the venue?. Also wondering if need to take extras of any kind? Thanks for any replies.
Written January 5, 2015
Hi, I work at Manchester Paintball Arena. Hopefully you get your questions answered by a previous customer also.
The pizza always surprises people. Very good quality (thin base pizza) however do consider how full you want them to be. Usually people go for one between two kids (10.5 inch Margarita), however we don't see any leftovers which may suggest people are usually not stuffed!
McDonald's is only 2 Min's away and we can ring your order through for you, so you have less waiting time.
As on your booking confirmation.......WARM CLOTHING for non-players, dress as if you were standing at the side of a football pitch for 90 Min's. Great for the players (who get very warm), not good for people not running around.
Bringing your own sandwiches etc is probably the cheapest option.
Order Pizza in advance only.
I hope this helps.
