Christmas 2026 · Laser Tag Santa Hunt

Bad Santa

The Randalstown Wreckers have taken Shane's Castle. Suit up, grab a blaster and reclaim Christmas - a festive laser tag battle for ages 8 to 81.

Bad Santa is Escarmouche's Christmas laser tag event at Shane's Castle, Randalstown - twenty minutes from Belfast. Pull on the gear, pick up a blaster and take on the rogue Santas who have seized the estate. It runs on three December weekends only, in two-hour sessions, for ages 8 to 81. Maximum 25 players per session, GBP 20 per player, and every session must be booked in advance.

Here's the brief

Operation GOOD GUYS


The festive season at Shane's Castle Estate was shattered on the night of the Winter Solstice when the Randalstown Wreckers Syndicate - a rogue faction of bitter, rule-breaking Santas led by the disgraced "Brimstone Nick" - breached the perimeter gates.

Tired of giving gifts, the Bad Santas have occupied the estate's grounds, hijacked the toy-distribution hub, and deployed laser-deflection barriers across the courtyard to turn the village into their personal winter fortress.

The council of Good Santas has issued an immediate mandate: clear the grounds, dismantle the Syndicate's hold on the estate, and reclaim the magic before Christmas Dawn.

This will be a battle to the end.
