Paintball guide

Planning a paintball birthday near Orpington and Bromley

For a birthday group searching around Bromley, check the physical location before sending invitations. The South London venue is on Shoreham Lane in Orpington, BR6 7QL. Use the Orpington address when arranging travel rather than assuming a venue in Bromley town centre.

Choose between Miniball and standard paintball

Miniball is the lower-impact activity for children aged 7 to 10. Standard paintball starts at age 10. For a tenth birthday, explain every player’s actual age so the booking team can advise on a suitable session. Do not assume younger siblings or older guests can automatically join the same activity; settle the age mix before confirming the invitation list. Read more about Miniball and junior paintball.

Confirm the group arrangements

There is no minimum group size for a standard booking. Tell the team your numbers so they can arrange the session appropriately. If keeping the birthday party in private games matters, ask about additional marshal hire and have the cost and staffing arrangement confirmed. Do not describe a standard booking to parents as an exclusive event unless that has been agreed.

Make prices and inclusions easy to understand

Use the current packages and additional costs to compare entry, equipment and paintballs. Check which package has been selected and what may cost extra. A promotion may have different inclusions from the standard package, so keep its details. Confirm the venue, date, activity, package and total with the team before payment.

Send parents the correct journey information

Include Shoreham Lane, Orpington, BR6 7QL in the invitation and link to the centre’s published directions. Check the final entrance approach before the day. Agree arrival and collection arrangements together, especially when parents are transporting other children. Ask the booking team about any questions on supervision or a player’s particular support needs before confirming.

Prepare for the woodland setting

Players need suitable outdoor clothes and footwear. The session includes a safety briefing, protective equipment and trained marshals. Basecamp has covered and open seating; toilets, washing facilities and lockers are available, but there are no showers. Guests can bring food and drink, and the shop sells snacks and drinks. Discuss any special birthday arrangements in advance rather than assuming decorations, catering or private space are included.

Keep the booking details together

Use the current day itinerary and the arrival instructions in your confirmation. Venue attendance is by confirmed booking or appointment. Contact the team at least 48 hours before game day to reschedule without an additional rescheduling fee; ask about cancellation terms if needed. To arrange the birthday, speak to the booking team through LiveChat.
