I have just moved to Mildenhall England. Does anyone know of any sites in the East Anglia area that let you use your own equipment?
Thanks

There are quite a few fields in the area but none cater to people who own their own equipment. I think there are one or two people in this forum who live here and play regularly, I'm hoping I get their attention.

Talk to Gee Tee. As I recall, he is UK. There is at least one other from the UK as well, but the name is escaping me.

Paintball is alive and well in England. Are you familiar with Planet Eclipse or WDP?

I know, I was just saying it sucks to be a private individual in England, due to the extreme restrictions they live under.

Hi Jason and welcome to the UK
What kind of game are you looking for. Woodsball, supair or scenario? There are loads of walk on sites in the UK.
A quick google search gave these in suffolk, although some are airsoft/laserquest and not all walk-on friendly.

We do have our fair share of OTT legislation here. Fortunately paintball has dodged most of the flak relating to firearms laws, bought in since the events at Hungerford and Dunblane. Scotland is still a no go area for paintball AFAIK, and we have careful transporting MILSIM guns to games. Germany has bigger issues with paintball than the UK at present, as do some other countries worldwide. Australia has some very strict rules on owning and using paintball markers, where state police decide what's permitted, and it's been banned in Tasmania.
