What an amazing four months of fun events since our forest doors re-opened as an ‘outdoor organised team sport’ venue!
After the year(s) we’ve all had it’s been incredible seeing customers of all ages being able to celebrate all occasions properly again, or simply enjoy an awesome fun day in the great outdoors with with friends and family!
Even though all government restrictions in England have been relaxed fully, we are continuing our ‘Covid Secure’ business changes which we have perfected over the pandemic, for our customers full safety and total peace of mind when booking.
This includes full sanitisation of all equipment between uses, additional handwashing stations available and lower capacity events for best social distancing, plus much more. For full details of our ‘Covid Secure’ business changes, please see our infographic below.
Demand for our events has been huge, so prior to the summer holidays, peak event days were often fully booked 6-8 weeks in advance. Our summer holiday schedule has now given us more options as we are running events 6 days per week. However spaces are still booking up fast, and many of our September and October peak weekend dates are also nearing capacity.
Please book in as soon as possible if you are set on a particular event date, or drop our friendly team a call if you have any questions at all.
You can check live availability for dates or book in easily online.
We look forward to welcoming you to our forest venue for an awesome adventure soon!
Kind regards,

The government’s Covid-19 response - Spring 2021: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-response-spring-2021
Spring is here and with the better weather comes better news for us all regarding the gradual easing of restrictions.
The government has confirmed that the 29th March will be the re-start date for ‘Organised Outdoor Team Sports’, so with that our forest doors will be re-opening for everyone’s fun, fitness, enjoyment, health and wellbeing!
As an ‘Organised Outdoor Team Sport’, we are exempt from gathering limits (the ‘Rule of 6’), and can still run events for larger groups at our 50-acre forest venue, which doesn’t limit you to booking small group numbers.
All of our extensive ‘Covid Secure’ business changes and social distancing measures that we successfully implemented in full last year have been refreshed, and remain fully in place for everyone’s safety and peace of mind.
These are outlined and listed in our infographic above.
So our forest doors are once again open and our whole team cannot wait to welcome you for incredible experiences running around with friends and family in the great outdoors!
Demand for our events has been huge since the announcement and availability on certain dates is already limited, so if you are looking at potential April/May/June event dates, please book your group in as soon as possible to avoid disappointment with availability.
You can check live availability for dates or book in easily online.
We have launched some amazing new pricing and special offers for 2021 and have lots of additional options available over the Easter holidays and half term , making it even easier to book an event on your chosen dates.
If you have any questions at all please get in touch with our friendly team and we’ll be happy to help.
We look forward to welcoming you and your squad down to our Forest venue soon!

It’s with real (but understandable) sadness that due to the global Covid-19 pandemic and the government’s current lockdown restrictions, that we had to close our forest venue temporarily and postpone all events.
With infection rates reported being so low outdoors, and the government’s understanding that sport and exercise are so important for everyone’s physical and mental wellbeing, we are really hopeful for brighter times not far ahead. We are now taking event bookings from April onwards, now that vaccination numbers are rising rapidly and infection rates are decreasing.
As per before, we’ll be fully open again for all ages once Outdoor Organised Team Sports can continue, to celebrate fully with friends and family once more. ‘Outdoor Organised Team Sports’ are also exempt from the ‘Rule of 6’ so larger groups are welcome – all explained fully below.
Demand for our outdoor forest events was higher than ever last year post-lockdown, with many events fully booking up 4-6 weeks in advance. So if you are looking at a April/May/June date, please do not hesitate to get your group booked in to avoid disappointment with availability. Hopefully the time for opening can come sooner than April, but should anything change then please rest assured that your booking will always remain valid.
We wholeheartedly appreciate all of the kind words and messages that we have received from our lovely customers since the latest lockdown announcement happened. Thank you for all of your support and understanding. It genuinely means everything to our team.
Kind regards,
The GO Action Forest Team

As a ‘Covid Secure’ ‘Outdoor organised Team Sport’, we are exempt from the group ‘Rule of 6’ restrictions, and can still run events for larger groups at our forest venue, which doesn’t limit you to booking small group numbers.
Of course all of our extensive ‘Covid Secure’ business changes and existing responsible social distancing measures that we successfully implemented earlier in the year remain fully in place for everyone’s safety and peace of mind. These are outlined and listed in our infographic below.

Following the government’s announcement last night in regards to a new national November lockdown for us all, we are (very sadly) forced to close our Forest doors again for the shorter term, postponing all November events due to the new government restrictions put in place.
Thankfully, on the other side of this lockdown, the government have made it clear that we’ll be returning to the government’s previous 3-Tier Covid-19 Strategy, where even under the highest Tier 3 restrictions, our Forest events classed as outdoor ‘organised team sports’ ARE allowed to take place as before.
So with that in mind, we are hopeful for an early return, and cannot wait to see all of our awesome customers again in the first week of December and onwards.
We will be reaching out to all our November bookings individually as a matter of urgency this week, but please rest assured that all existing bookings will always remain valid under our Terms and Conditions:
“Events at our forest venue will run until we are told otherwise by the government or governing bodies. For any Events that have to be cancelled due to circumstances outside of our control (which may include but not limited to acts of God, government restrictions, natural disasters, etc.), no refunds will apply. All groups will be offered full flexibility on rebooking a new Event date free of charge which will be valid for up to 13 months from the original event date.”
Full terms & conditions can be seen here.
We wholeheartedly appreciate all of the kind words and messages that we have received from our lovely customers since the announcement happened. Thank you for all of your support and understanding. It genuinely means everything to our team.
We have recently seen it as our duty to stay open and ‘Covid Secure’ for all of our customers throughout these tougher times, particularly for everyone’s fitness, well-being and mental health.
Having somewhere to celebrate special occasions with family and friends, and building memories that last a lifetime with those people is something truly special.
I think it’s fair to say that this has generally been a very challenging year for everyone, and as a small business in this country, one of the toughest to face. We have continued to make huge leaps forward this year by investing heavily on ‘Covid Secure’ processes, on new customer equipment, upgrading our venue and evolving our experiences under these ‘new normal’ circumstances – in our eyes surpassing anything we’ve previously achieved.
As soon as the government allows us to reopen then we will be back up and running with full effect for your ultimate fun times with friends and family in the great outdoors.
We want to wish you and your families the very best in these challenging times. Stay safe and we look forward to welcoming you and your squad to us in the near future!

With the recent government announcements we are pleased to announce and confirm that as a ‘Covid Secure’ outdoor ‘Organised Team Sport’ we are exempt from the recent ‘rule of 6’ restrictions and can still run events for larger groups, as confirmed in writing from the government on the 14th September.
Also with the government’s new 3-tier Covid Alert Levels announced on the 12th October, the same outdoor ‘Organised Team Sport’ exemptions currently still apply at all levels, as confirmed in writing from the government here.
For clarity our venue is located in ‘Tandridge’ (not classed as ‘London’ within these Tiers) with a post code of CR3 0HB. The Covid Alert Level in the area of our 50 acre forest venue is the lowest current level of Tier 1 (Medium).
So our forest doors remain open and we are excited to continue running awesome outdoor events for our customers of all ages!
Of course all existing responsible social distancing and ‘Covid Secure’ business changes (outlined and listed below) that we have successfully put into place months ago remain in place.
As always if you have any questions at all please get in touch with our friendly team and we’d be happy to help.
We look forward to welcoming you and your squad down to our forest venue soon!

Government restrictions for outdoor activities and the leisure industry have eased and we have all safety provisions in place in place (see below) at our huge 50 acre forest venue. Our venue has also been approved and marked ‘Good to Go’ by VisitEngland!
We are open at 40% of usual capacity numbers due to social distancing measures so places are very limited – please get your squad booked in ASAP to avoid disappointment with availability.
All of our Friday Summer Holiday Events are now also all live and bookable online.
To put any concerns at ease, full Coronavirus safety measures have also been put into place:

We look forward to welcoming you and your squad to GO Laser Tag London soon!
Firstly thank you so much for all of the incredible support that our customers new and old have shown us and our team in these challenging and unforeseen times.
We can’t explain how much your kind words and understanding mean to us all and we look forward to welcoming you all to celebrate belated parties, birthdays, family fun times etc with when that time can come.
From recent Government announcements we are creeping towards more positive times ahead, so we must look forward positively.
By all official accounts, transmission rates for the virus are much much lower outdoors than indoors, so as a large forest venue with over 50 acres of amazing outdoor game maps and facilities we are hopeful to be allowed to open by the Government within the first wave of leisure activities in July/August.
We are already seeing a massive increase this week in online availability checks for Summer dates, with people eager to get outside again to experience the great outdoors with the family and friends. Demand for outdoor events is set to be higher than ever, but with capacity decreasing due to responsible social distancing measures we advise booking early to avoid disappointment.
To err on the side of caution we are now taking online bookings for all July dates, starting 4th July 2020, and with dates now available to book online throughout the Summer Holidays and beyond.
There is of course a chance that we may be allowed to open sooner in June, or that those July dates may have to be postponed if the Government don’t deem it viable for outdoor leisure activities to open at that time, but either way, this launch date can hopefully can give us all something to really look forward to with our family and friends for Summer and beyond.
We are eagerly planning our grand opening behind the scenes, and putting all the necessary changes needed into place.
These changes and updates include but are not exclusive to:
As Government advice and guidance changes and evolves, so will we. The safety of our customers and our team will never be compromised so we will be doing everything in our power to ensure that customers can continue to enjoy amazing outdoor events with us throughout this extended period of ‘new normal’ social distancing.
All existing bookings which have had to be postponed due to Coronavirus will be treated as a priority customer and will be allocated event day capacity over new bookings wherever possible.
Booking a new event can be done online but please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions. Be sure to leave a voicemail or text also so we can return your call if missed.

Following the Government’s announcement yesterday evening directing that all ‘Leisure Centres’ must close, we are very sadly (but understandably) following the Government’s directive by closing our Forest doors and postponing all events with immediate effect.
We are very sorry for the inconvenience this causes but the safety of our customers or employees is something we could never compromise on.
For clarity with existing bookings over the coming month, we will be reaching out to you all in the coming days about how you can reschedule and will continue to review the situation weekly for future months as Government restrictions and guidance evolves.
Please rest assured that all existing bookings will always remain valid under our Terms and Conditions:
“Events at our forest venue will run until we are told otherwise by the government or governing bodies. For any Events that have to be cancelled due to circumstances outside of our control (which may include but not limited to acts of God, government restrictions, natural disasters, etc.), no refunds will apply. All groups will be offered full flexibility on rebooking a new Event date free of charge which will be valid for up to 13 months from the original event date.”
Full Terms & Conditions can be seen here
We wholeheartedly appreciate all of the support and messages from our lovely customers and amazing employees who have helped to make our small business a huge part of the local and London community for outdoor events over the past 9 years.
These are very difficult and uncharted days for everyone so thank you so much for your understanding in these tough times.
As soon as the Government allows us to reopen then we will be back up and running with full effect for your ultimate fun times with friends and family in the great outdoors.
We wish you the very best and look forward to welcoming you and your squad to us in the near future!

Whilst we are monitoring the daily developing situation of the Coronavirus we would like to reassure everyone that our forest doors are open and Paintballing and Laser Tag events are running.
We are an outdoor Forest venue with customers taking part in activities over 50 acres of woodlands, not indoor enclosed spaces. All equipment is fully cleaned for individual use with antibacterial washes, wipes and sprays. Camouflage overalls are also washed and laundered after each use and are given fresh to each customer on arrival. Even though we already had the highest quality and most extensive cleaning policies in place, we are also now also booking additional staff per event to perform these tasks even more readily. We have also reduced the capacity of players at the venue greatly to enforce the Government’s social distancing guidance.
We will continue to follow Government regulations and are committed to keeping our customers and staff informed, reassured and protected.
Our normal terms and conditions apply for all bookings but under these unforeseen and uncertain circumstances in regards to Coronavirus, should any customers not feel comfortable taking part in their event, or government restrictions mean that activities cannot run, then all Paintballing & Laser Tag bookings will be offered full flexibility on postponing and rebooking a new event date free of charge which will be valid for up to 13 months from the original event date. We will also be more than happy to rebook your group last minute (waiving our 7 day rebooking policy) should your or your group’s personal feelings towards it change at any time.
We look forward to welcoming you for your adventure in the great outdoors soon! Should you have any questions or concerns do not hesitate to get in touch.
