A Day at The Kingdom: What to Expect at Our Airsoft Site

Knowing how the day runs takes all the nerves out of a first visit. Here is what a typical day at The Kingdom, our airsoft site near Stoke-on-Trent, actually looks like from arrival to pack down.

Arrival and registration

Turn up in good time, park up, and head to registration to sign in. If you are hiring, this is where you collect your gun, eye protection and BBs. You will get a wristband and a chance to sort your kit before the day starts.

Chrono and the safety brief

Every gun is checked on a chronograph to make sure it is within our power limits. Then the marshals run the safety brief. This is the most important part of the day, covering eye protection rules, how to call your hits, boundaries and how games work. Listen carefully, even if you have played before.

The game zones

The Kingdom is a large woodland site with varied terrain, built-up areas and structures, so no two games feel the same. Marshals are on the field throughout to keep things safe and fair. Learn more on our venue page.

How the games run

You will play a series of games with different objectives through the morning: attack and defend, capture the flag, escort missions and more. There is a mix of fast action and tactical play, and you can push as hard or play as steady as you like. Curious about the different formats? See airsoft game types.

Lunch and breaks

There is a break for lunch and you can step back to the safe zone whenever you need a breather, a drink or to top up on BBs. Bring food and plenty of water, or check what is available on the day.

End of the day

Games usually wind up mid to late afternoon. You return any hire kit, grab your things, and head home buzzing (and probably planning your next visit).
