Shooting games hire Winchester
Winchester's student calendar keeps the laser tag arena busy: the University of Winchester freshers fair in September 2025 ran it alongside the Lights Out Challenge, and the same arena has been out at school reward days and council events across the district since. Winchester City Council's Party in the Park in August 2026 took the axe throwing and the full family spread, and the shooting range slots into the same pitches.
The laser quest arena is the piece most Winchester bookings start with. Ten players a game, infrared phasers with scoring built in, and our own operator running every round and changeover. It inflates indoors in a 35ft by 35ft hall or outdoors on a 40ft by 40ft pitch with 25ft of clearance, and smoke effects come out for outdoor games when the weather allows - which is what filled the freshers fair tent in 2025.
The laser clays range suits the fields and paddocks around the city and out through the parishes: five shooters, replica shotguns, a scoreboard that calls every hit, and no mains power needed across a 30m by 10m run. Archery is the taught session with RPII-examined instructors, the crossbow challenge works as a four-player stall, and the Laser Shot booth covers indoor and marquee events.
Kit and crew both come from our Havant workshop. The operators are first-aid trained and enhanced-DBS registered, the electrics are PAT-tested annually, and the paperwork Winchester venues and council compliance teams expect - the £10 million public liability certificate, risk assessments and method statements - goes out with the quote before you commit.
A shooting range rarely stands alone at a Winchester event. The freshers setup ran the arena with the electronic games, and the council's Party in the Park spread covered the whole family range from the assault course up. The Winchester event hire page rounds up everything else we bring into the city.
Send the date, the venue and the numbers, and we'll come back with the mix that fits the space - the arena and the clays range both want measuring first, and we will do that check at quote stage.

Shooting games hire in Winchester - common questions
Does the laser tag arena work for university events in Winchester?
It ran the freshers fair at the University of Winchester in September 2025, and it suits student events generally because the rounds are quick and the scoring is built in. Indoor halls need about 35ft by 35ft with 8ft of headroom. Tell us the venue and the expected numbers and we will size it before quoting.
What does the laser clays range need on a Winchester site?
A 30m by 10m run of level ground and nothing else - the guns, launcher and scoreboard run without mains power, so paddocks and park corners work. It is supervised by our own operator throughout, and the difficulty adjusts so children and adults score on the same board.
Can several shooting games run alongside each other?
Yes, and that is the usual setup for school and council events: the arena as the centrepiece, the clays or the crossbow stall filling the gaps, and archery running its taught sessions on the side. Tell us the space you have and we will suggest the combination that keeps everyone moving.
