Morning and All Day Games - please book in at 09:00
Consent forms need to be completed before the games start – these are available at the site, or can be downloaded from our website and completed in advance. All equipment is allocated and a safety briefing is given prior to the start of the games.

15. PROCEDURE FOR AIRSOFT
Airsoft is an exciting activity for all ages that encourages teamwork whilst bringing the excitement of video games to life.
Players are split into two even teams (as even as possible) by our trained staff, who will oversee their safety on the field.
The playing fields have different objectives and scenarios and features, with each team starting from the opposite end.
Each field is played twice and the teams reverse their respective roles.
The rules for each game are explained by our staff, who are always on hand to answer any questions and dispense useful tips where needed.
Games are run until the set time has elapsed, or if the objective has been captured. |
16. ARE WE OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK?
Normal event days are Sundays. Games can run during the week but we must have a minimum number please call us for more information. |
17. SHOULD PARENTS STAY ON SITE WITH CHILDREN
While we do accept juniors for Airsoft, this is intended for parents who want to introduce their children to Airsoft or play alongside their older junior children (we do not have dedicated children’s games).
Airsoft rules are elaborate and could be considered challenging for first time juniors. The equipment is available in adult sizes only and may be considerd large, heavy and fiddly to use for juniors who have not participated before and some of the games can last up to two hours. Airsoft requires a dedication usually only found in juniors who have a parent who is a regular Airsoft player.
We do not require a parent or guardian to be present during the day, however all players below the age of 18 must have a consent form signed by themselves and counter signed by a parent or guardian before they can play at our site. downloadable copy is available on-line. |
18. IS AIRSOFT SAFE?
YES, it is very safe compared to other team sports such as Rugby and football. Airsoft is played across the world often without incident.
We provide safety equipment of a high standard in the industry and we offer players full head protection.
Each set of goggles is inspected to ensure a secure fit before each game. We even provide free of charge body armour (subject to availability) All games are run by highly experienced staff and we make safety our top priority on the day. |
19. IS THERE AN AREA AT THE SITE FOR SPECTATORS?
Both our sites have safe zones with viewing facilities for some of the playing fields.
However, you cannot see all the playing fields from the safe zone, as some game zones can be some distance into the woodland. You can go along as a spectator if you sign a player consent form and spectate with head protection, from outside the playing area (outside of the safe zone) and don't mind getting hit by the odd stray BB. |
20. WHAT HAPPENS IF A PLAYER DOES NOT TURN UP?
If players do not turn up on the confirmed day, all of their payment will be lost. BBs are non-transferable. If we receive notification within our amendment policy, then we can update the booking – see our terms and conditions. |
21. DO WE HAVE STORAGE AVAILABLE FOR VALUABLES?
Unlike some other venues we do have lockers at our sites that can be rented, where you can store your belongings. Camouflage Airsoft is not responsible for loss, damage or theft of any valuables or other persobal property on site.
|
22. CAN WE BRING ALCOHOL OR DRUGS TO THE CENTRE?
No alcohol or drugs are permitted at our paintball/Airsoft centres. Any players who have been drinking or are deemed to be on drugs will be excluded from the games and asked to leave the centre.
|
23. WHAT IF I GET LOST TRYING TO FIND THE CENTRE?
To avoid getting lost we suggest you make sure all drivers in your group print the directions from the website and take these with them. Our directions are for guidance only, we recommend using a road map for more precise directions.
