Falkirk Laser Tag – Xtreme Combat at Loanfoot Wood, Falkirk

by .

Unfortunately we will be closing our Xtreme Combat laser tag site at Loanfoot Wood in Falkirk at the end of June.

Despite being a fantastic site for playing laser tag combat, logistically it has proved very difficult and challenging transporting equipment to and from the site on days we have missions running.

We have therefore taken the decision to close this site, and focus our laser tag activities at our Edinburgh venue.

We are still taking bookings up to this date, with all Christmas Vouchers sold being honoured. After this date any outstanding Gift Vouchers will be available for use at our Edinburgh venue (or converted to karting vouchers if this is not suitable).

We would like to thank Callander Estates for their support over the last year.

Please note with our new Game Over Escape Room now open in our Falkirk centre there will be no jobs lost as a result of this closure.
