Why Choose the Yorkshire Paintball Centre

YPC Bridge, floodlit specially for two major UK events

We've floodlit the YPC bridge ready for Armogeddon 7 Paintball Scenario game and NAM which is a scenario Airsoft game. The YPC bridge is the worlds biggest purpose build paintball bridge, standing over 300 feet long. Do you get to play on the bridge when you visit us.....Yes you do.

Ultimate Woodsball League comes to YPC
The Yorkshire Paintball Centre has been selected as one of only two UK venues to host the new Ultimate Woodsball League competition. YPC along with Campaign Paintball Park in Surrey will play host to this brand new UK event, already huge in the US.
This is a great opportunity for us to show off the award winning facilities at YPC and we're looking forward to this new event.

So what is Paintball 2.0 and how does it benefit you.
Paintball 2.0 is the most important change to paintball in the last 25 years. It brings paintball squarely into the 21st century. The paintballs fire at a much higher velocity, they go further than traditional paintballs (So you can shoot people further away), they are more accurate and they hit with only a fraction of the energy compared to a standard paintball used elsewhere.

So what does this mean to you as a player. More accurate shots over a longer distance really enhance the game, no more paintballs winging off all over the place causing frustration. This accuracy and distance is achieved through a higher velocity than a standard paintball. The new Paintball 2.0 hits with around 1/3 of the energy of a standard paintball. This means it doesn't hurt as much as traditional paintball and certainly doesn't leave the bruises that you may have seen players with in the past. New Paintball 2.0 opens up the game to people who have been reluctant to play, including younger players (We have a version of paintball 2.0 for 10-12 year olds where we set the guns at a lower velocity) and women. In fact over the last couple of months, we have seen the number of female players increase dramatically.

All of this is achieved in a very very simple way.......The paintball is simply smaller.

YPC Owner leads 400 players at UK's biggest game
When the organisers of the UK's biggest paintball game of 2012 needed a General to lead 400 players, they called on Andy Sables from YPC. The game played at Sennybridge Army Training Town in the middle of the Breacon Beacons in mid Wales is the UK's biggest and most spectacular paintball game and was the worlds longest running game, a full 54 hours. The game started at 10am on Friday morning and ended at 4pm on Sunday afternoon, playing for a full 3 days and 2 nights.

During the night parts of the game, there were burning tanks, huge flairs and massive pyrotechnic explosions. It's experiences like this and the idea's brought back that makes the Yorkshire Paintball Centre what it is today. Yorkshire Paintball Centre is run by players (Some of the best in the UK) who's main goal is to give you the best experience possible. We do it because we love playing as well.

Voted Best Site of the Year 2011
Yorkshire Paintball Centre was voted "Best Scenario Site" 2011. This award was given to us at the prestigious paintball industry awards held in Birmingham every year. Al Murray was also voted "General of the Year" for his roll in the Yorkshire Paintball Centre's "Chocolate Factory game held in April". 
This award means so much to us as it's voted for by the UK's top paintball players. A huge achievement that we will strive to emulate in 2012.

Stepping Even Further!!

Guns Checked between EVERY Game
One of our marshals has one job and one job only. That is, between every game, he checks every single gun, ensuring it's clean and perfect in every way. Only when he is 100% happy with a gun, will he place it onto the gun racks, ready for your next game. We are the ONLY paintball centre in the UK to go this far, to make sure your day is the best possible.

Goggles Checks EVERY day
We check every single pair of goggles, every day before they go out to you the player. We will not compromise on safety or your playing enjoyment.

Dedicated Host Marshal.
From the minute you walk through the entrance at YPC, until you leave exhausted at the end of the day, you will be looked after by our dedicated "Safe Area" marshal. He has one job during your day, and that's to look after your every need. This "Host" marshal will be in the safe area to answer any questions that you may have, offer tips and help on playing, make sure you are ready for the next game. In fact he is at your disposal for the entire day. 

Guinness World Record Set At YPC
In June 2011, we set the World Record for the "Longest Paintball Shot". The shot was 75.143m and achieved at the Armogeddon weekend by Chris Charnley
Have a look in the "Video's" section of this website for a video of the record.

Well done Chris!!
