Came last week with 12 of my friends, nice private session our marshals that day was: Y (yep that’s his name), Charlie and Harris, also a shout out to Y as he stayed with us the entire day great banter all the way through, they actually kept the game lively and entertaining with their marshalling and not just letting us kill each other, I’d highly recommend this place even though we have other Paintballing places to go to closer to us in west London, they have a lot of cod maps so if you like cod you’d like this place even more, we’ll be going again this weekend.

Had a good time at the site overall lots of maps which made it enjoyable not playing the same field once. Marshals were nice and ran the games well. Reason for not 5 stars the website I found had a lack of information about the site, rules, etc and any information on there was quite difficult to find. Also although we played various game modes and there were objectives or TDM there was never a winning team. Kinda makes the whole point of it pointless other than shouting people where for me personally I like to play for the objectives to win the game. I would still come back though reasonably priced and plenty of people there.

Had a great day of airsoft today, big thanks to josh, a funny and interactive marshal who very much helped make our field day so much fun, many game modes and creative things for our private skirmish. Even had the pleasure of inviting him to join in on our activities.

Everyone gets along, from new players to old players, I’ve come here for the first time for airsoft and the staff makes sure that everyone is safe and they even hell everyone during games and outside games. They offer different game modes, from paintball, laser tag airsoft, it’s even kids friendly. I will come again every now and then.
