The National Airsoft Festival

The National Airsoft Festival August 22-24 2025
The official page for the National Airsoft Festival - the largest airsoft festival in the world! Why does the NAE grow every year?
(261)

Hosted at one of the UK’s best skirmish sites, Ground Zero in Hampshire. The NAE has been running since 2007, when we made history by hosting what was the largest airsoft event ever held in the history of UK airsoft, bringing in players from all over the UK and Europe. It’s now become THE airsoft event of the year, with a great festival vibe. Every year the NAE gets better - more events and extra

activities, interesting and in depth game features and most importantly - all of you to make it a fantastic weekend for everyone involved! We are one of very few events of this size in the world that has ‘succeeded’ - more than once, and it just gets better with every year. Because where else in Europe can you go and be part of the largest ever airsoft game, have a great time with airsofter’s from pretty much everywhere, and leave with a huge grin on your face gagging for more...

We've planned a cracking holiday break for you and your fellow airsoft buddies, whether you are from Glasgow, Belfast, Paris, New York or just down the road in Ringwood. Airsoft is a social thing; it’s what makes the sport so good. We always say that a good airsoft day is 60% social, and 40% airsoft. Think about it - it’s true. Ground Zero is all about giving you a great weekend that you will be talking about for many months, if not years to come. Our focus is on giving you a fantastic all round experience - and that starts in the safe zone with a friendly, clean and fully facilitated event atmosphere, including on-site shops, prizes, on-site bar and airsoft manufacturers from around the world. This spreads onto the 'battlefield' where you will be free to choose what you do, where you go to do it, and when. It is our special style of airsoft gameplay that makes people want to come back time and time again. Sure, you can do your own thing all weekend if that’s your style, or you can play like a true operator and make it your mission to grab as many objectives as you can, following the two-day rolling scenario to the letter, or any mix in between. It’s all about a great day for everyone - an airsoft holiday - not a timetable. We welcome your entire families for a weekend away camping - it’s a great atmosphere and no one gets chance to be lonely and bored! If you are interested in being part of this years largest airsoft gathering take a look around the website, where you will be able to find everything you need to know about what Ground Zero is all about, and what's planned for this year’s weekender.

So, we've reached the last 'NAF Player Spotlight' for this year, so who has the honour?.....ladies and gentlemen, the one and only 💥 Beano Killey 💥 one of THE nicest guys you'll ever meet at NAF 👍

🔹 'Beano, tell us a bit about yourself, and also a bit about your Airsoft background'

👉 "So I started playing aisoft in 2021 and I always knew I liked fun, wacky outfits and builds. My regular site Is Exeter Skirmish and i’ve been using my samurai outfit for many years and it was a staple for me to wear it everywhere I go to play.
My go to weapons are my GPMG, Mini Gun, M-60 or my swords. I never play super seriously and always try to make people laugh and doing dumb things with me like running at a machine-gun nest with nothing but a sword!! "

🔹 'Have you ever been recognised as' that sword guy from NAF', but not in an Airsoft environment? '

👉" I have been recognised outside of Airsoft when I visited some friends in Wales, however, it was Halloween so I was wearing my samurai outfit on and then we then went for a couple drinks
I’ve also been recognised at my regular site, even when I’m not in costume. I do love people talking and taking pictures whenever anyone asks it’s usually 'yes' "

🔹' 'What do you think makes NAF such a great event?'

👉 "I Think NAF is a fantastic event because I get to meet so many interesting and cool people. I am a very social person as many of you know, so being in a place with so many like-minded individuals is incredible"

🔹' Finally, your foods of choice at NAF and if you were in the "GZ Bar" right now, what would you be ordering? "

👉"A big shout out to the lovely ladies, running the Thai food stand, their mango sticky rice is a lifesaver in the heat.
And when I go to the bar, I would definitely have a double pint or a cider"

A BIG Thank You to Beano for doing this for us, you are now, officially a 🔥 NAF LEGEND🔥

If you've attended a few NAF's, there'll always be those players that everyone recognises, but don't necessarily know. We've reached out to four of these players, to see what they've got to say!!

We've heard from Kerry Johnson and Woodrow Bridgett ('Tactical Jesus') so now it's over to Josh Rowley AKA 💥Banjo Josh💥

🔹 'Josh, tell us a bit about yourself, and also your Airsoft background'

👉 "Airsoft is something I started about 8 years ago as a birthday treat and it's not stopped since. I've made an absolutely amazing group of friends that stretch far beyond Airsoft.

🔹 'Ever been recognised as' that banjo guy from NAF', but not in an Airsoft environment?'

👉 "I have a few times, one that will always stick with me was whilst I was volunteering on a 999 Community Response car, I was on a job and the son thought he recognised me, by the end of the job he had clicked that I played banjo at NAF, this really stunned me as I was not expecting to be recognised in this setting at all!! "

🔹'What do you think makes NAF such a great event?'

👉" NAF is like nothing like anything else in the UK, it's somewhere that can be enjoyed as a festival or as a weekend of Airsoft, I personally enjoy the festival side more as I get to wander around with my banjo, making people smile🪕"

🔹'Finally, your food(s) of choice at NAF, and if we were in. the GZ Bar right now, what drink would you be ordering?'

👉"Food.. hmm.. the Churro's for sure!! As for the Bar, that'd be a nice pint of Guinness!"

There we go, and A MASSIVE Thank You to 'Banjo Josh' for taking the time to do this for us 🪕
You are now officially a 💥 NAF LEGEND💥

🔥 Morning all, let's kick things off with an early 'NAF26 Stallholder Spotlight', so it's over to Nik at 💥 CHURROS ESPANA💥

🔹 'Tell us a bit about' Churro's Espana'

👉 "Churros espana came about in 2019 from having a Paella business and wanting a dessert option to go with it, it then developed into a stand alone coffee and churros trailer. Serving freshly made authentic Spanish churros with Spanish chocolate sauce and barista coffee"

🔹 'Aside from Churro's, anything else NAF26 attendees will be able to buy from your Stall?'

👉 "Apart from Churro's, we will also be selling coffee, tea and a range of cold drinks and fruit coolers, as well as snack packs to boost your energy during the games out on field"

🔹 'Lastly, which days will you be open over NAF, and your opening hours?

👉 "We will be open from 7am - 10:30 pm daily, for those breakfast coffees and late night sweet treats!"

A big THANK YOU to Nik for taking the time to do this for us 👍

👉" The bacon and cheese toasties from Heavenly Crepes go down like a treat on those fresh August mornings right after we've opened the stall for the day!! "

Weather's changed a bit eh!! Currently raining here in Poole 🌧️ and a bit nippy!!
Know what would warm us up? A big Chicken Gyros from....yes, youve guessed it.... 💥JUST GREEK💥

George is a man of few words, preferring to let his meat do the talking 🥙 😁

🔹' Tell us a bit about Just Greek Gyro's'

👉 "We started the business in Greece, back in 1991 and then in the UK from 2016. This year is the tenth anniversary of us serving the best Gyro's in the country!!"

👉 "Just for NAF26, I've created a very special menu item...'The NAF Gyros Club'!!!"

🔹 'What are your opening hours over NAF?'

👉"Every day of the event, we'll be open from 10am to midnight!! Hot, Greek meat when YOU want it 😁.

We think it's fair to say that not only are 'Just Greek Gyros' long time NAF attendees, but George is a 💥 NAF LEGEND💥

A big THANK YOU to George for taking the time to do this for us 👍

🔥 Last 'NAF26 Stallholder Spotlight' of the weekend, and that honour goes to.... Mission Tailors 🔥

Let's see what Jacob has to say!

🔹 'Tell us a bit about Mission Tailors'

👉 "Mission Tailors is a UK 'designed and made' Tactical gear manufacturer, based in Southampton. We make a range of off the shelf products for the serving market with a lot of products that cross over into the airsoft world. A huge portion of our market is also bespoke work, as we are not a huge company we have the ability to do single unit or small runs of custom gear to fit whatever application you have.
We also do OEM manufacturing for other brands looking for UK made products as well as MOD units needing a small number of application specific equipment. We started this off as just a hobby about 8/9 years ago and turned that into a thriving business!!"

🔹 'What can NAF26 attendees expect from the your stall?'

👉"This is our third year at NAF and we are aiming for bigger and better every time, we will have some new products as well as our existing best sellers in new camos to wet the appetite of non Multicam airsofters.
💥 PLUS... We will again be bringing a sewing machine to the event for on site repairs of anything that breaks over the weekend, to keep you playing!!"💥

🔹 'Lastly, your crews food of choice at NAF?'

👉"Last year we were very partial to the pork/hog roast, as they were next door to our Stall, very convenient. However the Gyros are always a favourite of mine"

A big THANK you to Jacob for taking the time to do this for us! 👍
