Swynnerton Camp and Training Area

A highly active military training area which offers over 2 million square metres (700+ acres) of varied terrain, buildings, installations, and customised training areas. It is in virtually constant use by Army and Security Forces for training and live firing excercises.

Warped take control of the majority of the Training Area for the Big Game Festival. We spend several days preparing this incredible area to accommodate the festival and Big Game on the ultimate paintball playground.

After the festival we take several cleanup days to restore the training area for ongoing active use.

We are, of course also required to respect any urgent requirement our armed forces may have for the training area in an emergency situation.

Adjacent to the Training Area is the active Swynnerton Camp where serving forces are billeted, and units may be on excercise on other sections of the Training Area during the festival weekend - Access to and from the festival area is strictly controlled at all times and you may be subject to delays, travel by escort, or searches.

underground bunkers

The underground bunker system will be home to our Festival/Game Control office, security, first aid, Players Party on Sat 1st May, and Player Staging Area for the two days. These ex WWII underground magazines have been preserved and renovated for use by military units whilst using the Swynnerton Training Area.

Bunker 6 has a few creature comforts for those not wishing to use the campsite. For a £15 fee you will be allocated an authentic army bed and a steel locker in the main dormitory - you will simply need a sleeping bag and a padlock for your locker.

You will recieve access to the shower & toilet block, briefing room, and tv room within bunker 6. Access to this area will be strictly controlled with security provided throughout, however you are advised to bring a padlock so that you can utilise the locker.

Bed numbers are strictly limited, and at £15 for two nights accommodation we dont expect them to be available long so please book early to avoid dissapointment.

Please note that it is a SEPERATE ticket for the Bunker Accommodation (£15).

Standard and VIP Festival tickets DO NOT include accommodation in Bunker 6 - although VIP ticket holders CAN use the toilet block and other (non-sleeping) areas in Bunker 6

Bunker 7 is a cavernous self contained underground concrete space which makes a superb party venue on saturday and warm dry staging space for big game day.
