Mini-tanks are certainly not what you would expect to see at a wedding show, but they could be just the answer for happy couples looking for action-packed stag and hen dos with a difference.

Combat Paintball, based at Thetford and Northwold, has recently starting offering mini tank driving as well as paintballing, and the company will have a mini tanks on display at the EDP Wedding Show at the Norfolk Showground, near Costessy, this weekend.

James Lambert, Combat Paintball director, said the company had branched out into mini-tanks as well to offer groups the chance to do different activities at the same location

'People can enjoy a morning paintballing and then do some mini-tank driving,' he said.

'More and more people want to do more than one activity in a day and so we are trying to incorporate more activities on the same site. We have started offering mini tank driving and are bringing one of our one-man mini tanks to the EDP Wedding show for people to see. Later on this year we will be offering trek archery, which involves going for a walk in the forest and shooting 3D targets of dinosaurs.'

He said the activities were great for an action-packed stag do - with a 'stag hunt' included at the end of the paintball session - and he said they were becoming increasingly popular for hen dos too.
