A brief on the vehicle will be provided to prepare you for the tank-filled fun that you’re sure to have. Then it’s time to hop on the tank & tackle the tough terrain for 2 laps. A uniform & helmet will be provided so you’ll be fully kitted out for your experience. ...

With this Tank Paintball Battles gift experience, prepare to enjoy the ultimate action-adventure combination! In crews of three, you’ll take it in turns to control the tank over the challenging circuit, based on a World War Two bombing range. You’ll be navigating a 17 tonne FV432 armoured personnel carrier with specially modified cannons, able to fire 40mm paint rounds. As you engage in some paint-splattering combat on this historical battleground, it’ll be easy to imagine the atmosphere of a real life tank battle, but the only difference is that you’ll be using paint balls as your ammo instead!

You & the 2 other crew members will alternate between driving the tank, aiming the cannon, loading the breach & firing the big air-powered cannon, giving you a taste of all the action. Once you’ve mastered the art of tank driving, the hatches will be closed, setting you up to enter combat against the enemy, with the only the help of the periscopes to guide you along! An instructor will be on-board, guiding & advising throughout so you’ll be completely looked after throughout this paintballing fest. Radio headsets, kevlar helmets, tank suits & gloves will be provided to set you up for all the paint-splattering fun you’re bound to have! Alongside this blood-pumping few hours of fun, you’ll also have the chance to explore the onsite military collection free of charge if you wish! ...
