Derby Tank Paintball

Forget 1 to 10, this is an 11!

You could do plain old paintball...or you could be a badass and do Derby Tank Paintball on your hen weekend! You can only do this amazing activity in a few areas in the UK, and the Midlands is one of them. Grab the chance by the (giant) paintballs and get stuck into epic tank skirmishes. Load the breach, take your aim, and fire paintballs from an actual cannon mounted on the turret. Welcome to tank warfare!

Pay attention, private! It's briefing time. You will need to get into teams of three and assign roles: driver, loader and shooter. Instructors will give you suits and helmets, show you how the controls work, and let you have a practice lap with the hatch up. Second time round you'll have the hatch down and periscope up, just like in an actual battle scenario. The final part of your training is target practice, and that's where the fun really begins.

Ratchet up your hen party's adrenaline levels...

Then playtime's over and it's time to face the enemy in an epic tank paintball skirmish. Get you tactics straight, assign roles wisely, and go turret to turret. Ready, aim, boom, splat! Come on girls, add a bit of 'extra' to your final weekend of freedom! It's something you'll remember long after the bride takes that walk down the aisle.

Sign up for a tank paintball hen do in Derby and give the hen an epic sendoff. Plus, when you're done you'll have plenty of time to hit Friar Gate or Sadler Gate for cocktails afterwards. Simple!
