About Red Alert Paintball & Airsoft

Red Alert Paintball & Airsoft plays at Hartshill Copse on Burdens Heath, near Bucklebury in West Berkshire. The site sits between Newbury and Reading, with Thatcham, Theale and Upper Basildon all a short drive away. The ground is more than 35 acres of woodland, dressed with bridges, boats, old cars, army vehicles, huts and bunkers. Games move through the trees and around these props, from attacking and holding positions to grabbing objectives and wiping out the other side. The same woods also host paintball, so the airsoft days share a well set up site with covered areas in the safe zone and a testing range. It suits complete beginners, who can rent everything they need and get a safety briefing from the marshals, as well as regular skirmishers looking for a large woodland field in the Thames Valley.
