Skirmish Paintball


Skirmish Paintball is a paintball arena company in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Australia. Paintball venues operated under the Skirmish trademark are privately owned.

General

Skirmish Paintball UK was founded in 1984, and celebrated their 25 year anniversary in 2009. The company runs 27 sites in the UK, all belonging to the UK Paintball Sports Federation. Skirmish Paintball is open to play for anyone aged over 11, and caters to group bookings - including bachelor or bachelorette parties, corporate, school or college events.
Skirmish Paintball sites allow players to hire equipment such as camouflage suits, or pyrotechnics - including simulated hand grenades and smoke bombs. Several sites across the UK also provide both Laser tag and Airsoft facilities, playable in the same paintball arenas already existing on the sites - along with rental of related playing gear.

History

The Skirmish paintball name was originally trademarked by Kit Peters, Martin & Simon Peniston-Bird, and as the brand name got bigger, the license fee for the rights of the name "Skirmish" is now purchased individually by the private owners of the separate Skirmish sites across the UK.
