Unfortunately, due to space and tidying up afterwards, we cannot allow any other food to be brought onto our site, however you are welcome to bring drinks and a birthday cake/cupcakes so that everyone can sing Happy Birthday at the end of the party!

LASER TAG (age 7+) is a safe, environmentally friendly and painless game compared to Paintball or Airsoft as no projectiles are fired. The guns do not actually emit a laser but an infrared beam, similar to the one found in your TV remote. Our laser tag guns are state-of-the-art, lightweight and easy to use, so the perfect activity for ages 7+.

SPLATMASTER (age 9+) is a junior version of Paintballing providing a low impact alternative for younger players as the guns are engineered so that children from age 9 (and some adults!) can easily cock, load, and fire them.

CQB TACTICAL TRAINING (age 10+) uses a state-of-the-art system which gives a truly versatile and immersive target shooting experience. Fully customisable, we have the flexibility to create different training scenarios and combat simulations for all levels and abilities.

PAINTBALL (age 12+) is a game in which players compete in teams or individually to eliminate opponents by ‘tagging’ them with paintballs (capsules containing water-soluble dye encased in a gelatin shell) propelled from a device called a paintball marker.

AIRSOFT (age 12+) is a competitive team game in which participants eliminate opposing players with spherical projectiles called BBs fired from replica weapons called airsoft guns. We run regular Airsoft games on Wednesday and Friday evenings, and all-day Sunday – book online at www.ironsightairsoft.co.uk. We also have a vast range of Airsoft kit, consumables and branded merchandise available online at www.ironsightonline.com.

Our activities are suitable for all ages with Laser Tag for ages 7+. Once players are 9 they can play Splatmaster, at 10 they can play CQB Tactical Training, and at 12 they can play Paintball and Airsoft. There is no maximum age limit, provided you are fairly fit, anyone can join in the fun … parents and grandparents too!

Our minimum group size for all activities is 8 players, as with 4 on each team it makes for better gameplay and more fun for everyone! The maximum is 40 players.

We are open 7 days a week, and our up-to-date availability can be found via our online booking system at ironsightactivities.com/booking. If you are unable to book a specific date/time slot, it means we are already fully booked for that session, so please try an alternative date or time.

We are an all-weather activity centre so can run events indoors and outdoors, regardless of what Mother Nature throws at us! We have themed indoor gaming zones in huge hangars including a Submarine Room, Underground Train Station, Aztec Room and Prison Cell Block. We also have vast outdoor spaces including a Mini Jungle, Dockyard Arena and open fields. We even have a vintage double-decker bus and life-size replica tank that can be incorporated into the games.

Our Marshals will adapt the gameplay to suit the ages, abilities and weather conditions, but they usually include Search & Destroy, Domination, Ambush, Last Man Standing, Zombies and Capture the Flag. If anyone has any specific requests, they may be able to accommodate them.

Yes, we can accommodate groups of up to 40 players (more if we rotate the activities, so call us as we can tailor-make a package to suit your timings, budget and player ability). An action-packed event can improve communication between teams, build employee relationships and enhance staff morale and mental well-being.

All of our Laser Tag equipment is transportable, so we can come to your venue, garden party, wedding reception, village fair, school fete or charity event. Ideally, we require a minimum area of 25m x25m but we’ll arrange a site visit prior to the date to ensure the area is suitable and compatible with our equipment. Our fully trained staff will arrive, set up, run the games throughout the day, pack up and leave, and you won’t even know they’ve been there!

No, due to safety regulations we cannot allow own guns to be brought onto site. All of our equipment is monitored, regularly serviced and set up to ensure everyone’s safety.

Subject to prior agreement, you can bring your own Airsoft gun but it will have to be tested with a .20g BB with our chronograph. Our full site rules must be adhered to and can be read in full at www.ironsightairsoft.co.uk/site-rules.

If you are booking our standard package for under 16’s at £25 per person, all your paintballs will be included. Alternatively, you can book for ‘Walk-on Paintball’ (for all ages from 12+) and choose how many paintballs you want (prices start from £15 per person for 100 paintballs). It really depends on your style of gameplay as to how many paintballs you will get through, so are you a tactical sniper shot, or shoot and spray? But don’t worry if you run out half way through, you can purchase more on the day!

We advise players to come dressed appropriately for the weather as gameplay will usually be a combination of indoors and outdoors. If playing Airsoft, long sleeves and trousers are advisable, as well as gloves. Sturdy footwear is essential and must be properly fitting (no designer trainers as they will probably get muddy!).

Yes, we supply all-in-one camo overalls for Splatmaster and Paintball players, together with head masks and eye protection. We also supply Airsoft players with head masks and eye protection, and they are advised to wear long trousers and sleeves (they are welcome to use the camo overalls for added protection if they wish).

We’re not going to lie, you will feel a Paintball or BB if it hits you somewhere that’s unprotected! That’s why we supply camo overalls for Splatmaster and Paintball players, and advise all Airsoft players to wear long trousers and sleeves, and they can wear overalls if they wish for added protection. We also supply full head masks and eye protection. All of our games are played with teams and players being at a distance from each other, none of the gameplay will be at close quarters, so you won’t get hit at close range (unless any of your teammates don’t listen to the Marshal’s instructions!).

Yes, we have smoke grenades in a range of different colours and they’re a great way to add another dimension to the gameplay. You can add these on at £5 each when you make your booking online, or buy them on the day, just ask one of our Marshals and they’ll get them sorted for you.

Every player (or their parent/guardian) must complete our online disclaimer before they arrive for their event – ironsightactivities.com/disclaimer. If anyone is unable to do this online, they can print it out or complete one on the day, but ideally, online is the best option!

Longstock Road, Goodworth Clatford, Andover, SP11 7LF. Sat navs may send you to a farm ½ mile away, but please do not go into the farm. Keep driving past if you have come from the A303 and we are located on the right-hand side, just after the large over-hanging tree. If coming from Stockbridge, turn left into Ironsight before you get to the farm. We are next to Rowbury Farm Campsite so you may see signs for that too.
