Manchester Battlezone Archery

Get your battle on!

Play the kind of games you get in both paintball and dodgeball but with bows and arrows. If that sounds hella good, you're in luck. There's a new event in the North West and its name is Manchester Battlezone Archery.

Here's the best bit: you can be super competitive and fighty without anyone getting hurt. It's all because of the round rubber heads on your arrows. This clever little modification basically means that if you take a hit you'll be fine. Better than paintball, which can sting like hell and leave nasty bruises. Not great for wedding pics. This is the answer. Get in there and go hell for leather!

Experience needed: none. The instructor will explain what to do and go through the rules when you get to the venue. When this event first came out, you could only do it in the back of beyond. Then it got so popular that the guys behind it decided to take it to the city and we got Manchester Battlezone Archery. Now you don't have to stray too far from the Printworks and the Northern Quarter to experience the awesomeness. Go into battle and still have time for shopping and cheeky cocktails later. How's that for a plan?

We arrange everything: venue, instructor and all the gear you need to play. Just turn up in a pair of trainers. Easy.
