Outdoor Paintball for Families, Friends and Groups
Combat Splat brings people together for energetic outdoor paintball in the Cotswold Water Park. Since 2008, we have welcomed first-time players, regular groups, families, friends, schools, companies and celebration parties from across Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and the surrounding areas. Our independent venue sits between Swindon and Cirencester, giving groups a convenient place to enjoy a properly organised day in the open air.
Every session combines clear objectives, friendly competition and varied surroundings. Players move between woodland paintball scenarios and more open field game zones, so the pace and tactics change throughout the event. One game may require a coordinated attack on a defended position, while another rewards quick movement, communication or a well-timed flag capture. Trained marshals explain the rules, manage each game and help new players settle in before the action begins.
You do not need previous experience or your own equipment. Our paintball packages include equipment hire, with half-day and full-day options available. If anyone in your group is unsure about taking part, our safety procedures explain how equipment checks, protective clothing, briefings and supervised games help us maintain an excellent safety record.
Woodland Paintball and Field Game Zones
The setting is a major part of the Combat Splat experience. Our venue uses natural woodland alongside purpose-built structures, open ground, obstacles and themed objectives. These different field game zones prevent the day from feeling repetitive and give every type of player a chance to contribute. Fast runners can push forward, careful players can defend an objective, and confident communicators can help the team organise its next move.
Game zones are regularly reviewed and updated, while the games themselves are adapted to the group and conditions. Players can experience recognisable scenarios such as the Wild West Town, Church and Graveyard, Capture the Flag, Hadrian's Wall, Paintball Rugby and the Pirate Ship. The variety makes Combat Splat suitable for a one-off event as well as returning groups looking for another challenge.
Our venue can accommodate more than 100 players and is open seven days a week throughout the year, subject to booking and availability. That makes it possible to plan anything from a family activity to a larger paintball event for a workplace, school, college or organised group.
Paintball Events for Every Occasion
Different groups want different things from a day of paintballing, so the site now has focused information for each type of event. Families can explore family paintball, while organisers planning a birthday can compare our paintball birthday party options. Younger players can also take part in low-impact paintball, designed for children aged eight to ten.
For organised groups, we offer corporate paintball team building, school and college paintball activities, and stag and hen do paintball. Each page explains how the session can fit the group's age, purpose and preferred schedule. If you are comparing paintball team-building ideas, our woodland and field games create clear shared objectives without making the day feel like a workplace exercise.

Regular paintball is available for players aged ten and over. Combat Splat also offers a separate low-impact SplatMaster experience for children aged eight to ten. These sessions use smaller paintballs travelling at a lower speed and are designed to introduce younger players to the same teamwork and outdoor adventure in an age-appropriate format. Under-16s are a major part of what we do and receive additional guidance, full-head protection and access to impact vests. Check the low-impact paintball page for its package and group requirements.

Yes. Many Combat Splat visitors are playing for the first time. Every session begins with a briefing that covers the equipment, game rules, safe zones and what to do when you are eliminated or run out of paintballs. Trained marshals supervise the games and explain each objective before the teams enter a game zone. You do not need to be particularly fast or experienced to help your team, as communication, positioning, defending and planning can be just as useful as making an energetic attack.
-

Combat Splat operates throughout the year and outdoor conditions are part of the experience. Players should check the forecast and bring suitable layers and footwear for woodland ground. Games or game zones may be adjusted if conditions make a particular area unsuitable, helping the marshals keep the session enjoyable and properly managed. If severe weather could affect a booking, the organiser should contact the venue for the latest advice rather than assuming the event has been cancelled. Current booking terms should always be checked when making or changing a reservation.
