What visitors say
What a cool place to have a 12 year olds Birthday party, Real life Call of Duty for two hours playing a total of five rounds in two different areas. If it’s rained you will get muddy and the 10 kids that took part loved the whole experience. We were looked after by Gollum & Jaaarsper who keep everyone safe while still maintaining the fun element. Burgers, Hotdogs and drinks provided after demolished by all involved. Big Thank you to the whole team. 10/10.

We were really gutted by our experience at Skirmish Airsoft because the site has a lot of potential. The car park and safe zone are great, and the staff were friendly and welcoming, but unfortunately the actual game day felt very poorly managed. One of the biggest concerns was chronoing. Guns were checked but not tagged afterwards, which makes the whole process feel pointless and honestly unsafe. We saw one gun chrono over the limit by around 40 FPS and the player was told not to use it, yet later on we saw the same gun being used out on the field. Without tags or any proper system in place, there’s no way to monitor what’s actually being used during games. The game organisation itself was also disappointing. In one match we played for around ten minutes before marshals realised they had forgotten to put the objective out on the field. It made the day feel chaotic and unprepared rather than structured and immersive. To top it off, a marshal blank fired a gun in the safe zone, which as regular airsofters we all know is something that should never happen. Safety rules should apply to everyone, especially staff. Maybe this was just an off day, because there are positives to the site, but in airsoft safety and organisation are everything, and unfortunately this experience didn’t inspire confidence. We’ll 100% be sticking with Prison and Warzone going forward because we simply feel much safer at those sites, which is a real shame because this site could be brilliant with better organisation and stricter safety control.

Took my nephews for a day of paintballing - they had an absolutely fantastic day despite poor weather at times. Leo and the assisting staff were excellent! Clear instructions and there was certainly a sense that they were there to try and help us make the most of the games. Would highly recommend and shall be returning to give Airsoft a go very soon 👍 Thank you Leo & team

Superb - not only was it a great fun day but the team are brilliant. We had a college trip with a specialist education provision for people with behavioural difficulties. From the booking experience to the facilitation of the day - all of the team were absolutely superb.
