Does it hurt when you get hit?

There is a quick sting, taken off by the protective clothing and the distances involved. Most people stop noticing once the game starts.

What age do you need to be?

Usually 16 or 18 and over, though some venues run junior games. Check the specific session.

Do I need my own equipment?

No. Markers, eye protection and safety gear are provided. You just bring suitable clothing.

Yes. Eye protection is compulsory, marshals enforce the rules, and games run inside clear safety boundaries.

Long sleeves, trousers and sturdy footwear you do not mind getting dirty. Layers help when it is cold.

How big are the teams?

Anything from small squads to large skirmishes, depending on numbers and venue. It scales well for big groups.

Is it any good for a stag or hen do?

One of the most popular choices going. Competitive, daft, and a proper team day out.

Airsoft | adventuro

Airsoft is a team game played out in woodland, old buildings or purpose-built arenas. Two sides, an objective, and a fair bit of crouching behind things while working out where everyone went. Tactical when you want it to be, chaotic when you do not.

You need nothing to start. Marshals brief you, hand out the markers and protective gear, and run the games. Total beginners and big groups are the bread and butter of the sport, so stag dos, birthdays and work days fit right in.

The sessions on adventuro come with the gear and the game scenarios sorted. Bring clothes you do not mind getting muddy and a reasonable amount of competitive spirit.
