YOUR FIRST GAME
A new hobby. A good first day.
Start by choosing a venue and checking its beginner or hire options. Contact the operator to confirm the minimum age, any supervision requirements and what your booking includes.
Many sites offer rental equipment for a first visit. Ask what clothing and footwear they recommend, what food and water to bring, and when you need to arrive.
Let the venue guide you.
Read the venue’s rules and attend the full safety briefing. Use the protective equipment required by that site, and follow the marshals’ instructions throughout your visit. If anything is unclear, ask before joining a game.
Our directory helps you find places to play. Each operator sets its own booking terms, safety rules and age requirements.

How to choose your first airsoft site
Find a convenient venue
Search by your town or postcode and compare travel distances. Woodland, indoor CQB and mixed venues can offer different experiences. Read the operator’s own description before choosing.
Check hire, age and booking details
Ask the venue whether it welcomes beginners, whether equipment hire is available and what your booking includes. Confirm current prices and minimum ages directly; these can change and may be unconfirmed in the directory.
Prepare for the day
Follow the venue’s advice about clothing, footwear, arrival times and protective equipment. Attend its safety briefing and ask the marshals about anything you do not understand before joining a game.
