Ireland's largest paintball and multi-activity park, on the Shane's Castle estate.
Escarmouche is Ireland's largest paintball and multi-activity action park, at Shane's Castle, Shane Street, Randalstown, County Antrim, BT41 2AD - about twenty minutes from Belfast. It runs paintball across five purpose-built zones, outdoor airsoft, outdoor laser tag and a 14-obstacle assault course, seven days a week from 08:00 to 20:00.
What is on the site
One site, four main activities and six team games, rather than a single attraction repeated.
- Paintball across five purpose-built zones, from close-quarters urban to open woodland
- Outdoor woodland airsoft - walk-on days and membership
- Outdoor laser tag, two hours across eight scenarios
- The Gauntlet - a 14-obstacle assault course
- Gladiator Combat, Tug of War, Tyre Flipping, Human Foosball and Code Breaker
How a day is run
Marshals run every game from start to finish. That is partly about safety - enforced engagement distances, face protection that stays on, clear safe areas - and partly so that whoever organised the day gets to take part rather than spending it herding people.
Sessions are booked in advance so that marshals, kit and the right zones are ready for your group. We are not a turn-up-and-see venue.

Finding us
Escarmouche sits inside the Shane's Castle estate at Randalstown, County Antrim. The estate has more than one way in, and a phone will often route you to the Antrim entrance, which will not bring you to us.
Use the Randalstown entrance. It is the single most useful thing to tell a group before they set off, and it saves somebody a fifteen-minute detour at nearly every booking.
