“Great fun for the whole team! Archery, super sumo soccer, human fooseball and paintball we did all in one day, great variety. Aaron & the hard case team a laidback glove on a safety fist, to make sure everyone has a great time in harmless tomfoolery but not dangerous stupidy. Great team building and chance to settle some scores, let off steam and burn off surplus energy ; ) Highly recommended, thanks guys!”

“Highly recommend the Playground for any of your work or group activities! The team ran us through three of the activities, which were super fun and got everyone involved. They brought the energy and the banter and made it a really fun afternoon, well spent! Great location and great ideas - would absolutely recommend and return for some more! :)”

“Paintballing was absolutely super fun. We came for our work Christmas do and had the best time. We’ve all still got a few bruises, but totally worth it! The staff were fantastic, and for a couple of hours a bunch of adults ran around like kids shooting each other....many laughs. Simple, tiring, and brilliant fun. Highly recommend!”
