COMPANY PROFILE

The very successful outdoor activities business that is now known as ‘Bristol Activity Centre’, was originally founded by Mike and Joy, together with their long-term associate Jock in 1988, under the original name of ‘Twilight Zone Paintball’ Mike and Jock were huge fans of Paintball which was a new sport at the time, and they decided to turn their hobby into their job!. Originally established at a woodland venue at Portishead. Twilight Zone Paintball soon built up an excellent local reputation for providing a good quality and reliable Paintball experience, at very group and family friendly rates.

ABOUT US

After many successful years of gradual expansion. Twilight Zone Paintball was re-branded, and joined the franchise “Skirmish Paintball” being known as “Skirmish Bristol” for around 10 years. In 2010, they took the major decision to open another venue in the South West at Cribbs Causeway, Bristol. The large urban venue – a previous military base – has lots of fantastic features, including ammo stores and underground bunkers. Making it ideal for playing outdoor sports – especially Paintball. Bristol Activity Centre continues to grow and expand its current woodland (Portishead) and urban (Bristol) venues, and has acquired many genuine military vehicles and associated military hardware such as Tanks, Helicopters and armoured vehicles etc for it’s customers to enjoy and explore.

In 2012, both venues were featured with their own episodes on SKY TV’s, The Paintball Show!
