Why Summer Is the Best Time for a Paintball Day Out

If you're looking for an exciting and active way to spend a summer day, paintball is the perfect choice. Whether you're planning a day out with the kids, organising a party, or looking for a fun team-building experience, nothing beats the thrill of running through the woods with a paintball marker in hand. And what better season to enjoy it than summer?

At Just Paintball, we’ve seen thousands of happy players head to the field during the warmer months—and for good reason. Here's why summer is the ultimate time to go paintballing, plus a few tips to make the most of your paintball day out.

1. The Weather’s on Your Side

Summer in the UK might not always be scorching hot, but that’s part of what makes it ideal for outdoor sports like paintball. You’re less likely to face muddy, waterlogged fields, and the dry ground makes running, diving, and dodging much easier and safer. The mild temperatures also mean you won’t overheat in your gear.

Top benefits of summer weather for paintballing:

• Less mud = better grip and cleaner gear

• Warm but not sweltering, ideal for active play

• Longer daylight hours for extended games

"The best paintball days are when the sun’s out and the fields are dry – everything just feels more epic."

2. Great for Kids (and Grown-Ups) to Let Off Steam

Summer holidays can feel long—especially if the kids are bouncing off the walls. A paintball day out is a brilliant way for them to burn off energy, work together as a team, and have a blast outdoors. Whether it's a birthday party or a summer holiday treat, paintball is always a hit.

And it's not just for the young ones—parents, teachers, and adults of all ages love it too. It’s a great chance to run, laugh, and reconnect with your inner action hero.

Paintball is perfect for:

• Birthday parties

• Family days out

• End-of-term school treats

• Sports clubs & youth groups

• Stag/Hen dos

• Work team-building days

3. It’s the Ideal Group Activity

One of the best things about paintball is that it’s built for groups. Summer’s the time when friends and families get together—school’s out, the sun’s out, and everyone’s looking for something fun to do. Whether you’re organising a mates’ day out or a family reunion, paintball gives everyone a chance to join in, regardless of skill level or age (junior paintball is available for ages 8+ at many sites).

Pro Tip: Book early during peak summer weekends to secure your preferred date.

4. Easy to Combine With a Summer Adventure

Paintball is just the start—pair your paintball day with a BBQ, picnic, or trip to the coast. Many paintball venues are near outdoor attractions or country parks, making it easy to turn your outing into a full summer adventure.

Ideas for add-ons:

• BBQ in a nearby park

• Forest walk after your session

• Outdoor games & challenges

• Ice cream stop on the way home 

5. Better Deals & Packages

Summer often brings special offers, especially for groups. Many venues offer discounted packages for kids, families, or large parties. At Just Paintball, we’ve also got summer sales on equipment, so if you’re looking to buy your own kit or upgrade your gear, it’s the perfect time.
