what our amazing players say

Cracking day at Skirmish today. First time airsofting here and out of a great many sites over the years have to say we were keenly impressed.

Clark D

Best airsoft around. Well organised and marshalled.

Ben R

A great day out for groups and people who enjoy the sport. 100% better than paintballing.

Martin V

Excellent marshals, excellent site. What more is there to say? Had most of my favourite airsoft memory’s here. A really good day out.

Josh S

One of my favourite sites, love it here. Great for new players and experienced too.

Mark D

Really good place to Airsoft, people are really nice and helpful, and they don’t allow cheating, cannot say the same about other company’s.

Daniel W

Great day for all airsofters.

Luke W

An excellent airsoft venue, it’s the marshalling that really stands out though. If you’re reading this, you must have some interest: seriously, you’d be mad not to check Skirmish out!

Mos D

Went with a group to this airsoft arena, and I have to say that I haven’t had that much fun in a while. I strongly encourage anyone wanting to go.

Lewis L

First time airsofting and despite nerves in the beginning, I ended the day absolutely loving it. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Really awesome day, would definitely go again!

Chantelle S

This was my first attempt at Airsoft, great venue, informative staff and good facilities. Playing with a good crew made the experience even better.

Wayne S

Been my favourite site since day one of Airsofting, always really friendly staff on site, really fun game objectives, would recommend anyone to visit!

Kallum A

Everybody who attended for the day were friendly and everybody felt welcome, even a newbie like me…. Think I may have caught the Airsoft bug…. 5 Stars.
