The South's Premier Woodland Airsoft Venue
Ground Zero's woodland site is situated approximately one mile from the nearest road on the private grounds of Somerley Estate in Ringwood, Hampshire.
Drawing on over 25 years of experience as an airsoft venue, we strive to provide the very best experience possible. With friendly staff, experienced marshals and game days regularly attracting up to 150 players, you'll fit in straight away regardless of your age, gender or previous experience.
Our players range in age from 12 to 75, creating a welcoming and diverse community for everyone.
We offer ample car parking located directly within the safe zone, allowing easy access to your vehicle throughout the day whenever needed.
With bases and structures spread across 150 acres of diverse woodland terrain, Ground Zero offers some of the most varied gameplay available. Whether you're an objective-focused player, a patient sniper seeking the perfect vantage point, or someone who prefers a more direct approach, our games are designed to cater to every style of play.
If you already have your own equipment there is no need to book — simply turn up and play.
If you're new to airsoft or don't have your own gear, we offer a full rental service including rifles, eye and face protection and 1000 BBs to get you started. Combat clothing is also available to hire.

Upon completion of the relevant form and UKARA time criteria we will add you to the UKARA database.
To become a member at Ground Zero simply come and ask us during lunch on a game day. You'll find us near the sign-in hut. We will give you a simple form to fill out and provide your first UKARA stamp.
On your 3rd game please remember to bring proof of name and address ID, and the £13 to cover yearly membership.
We can only sign up individuals who participate in our games.
Please ensure that you hand in all applications as early as possible on the day, as it can be quite frustrating and time consuming when large numbers of forms are handed in while we are packing up.
Q. Does having GZ membership automatically get me a UKARA membership?
A. Yes, but only after you fulfil the criteria. Once you accumulate 3 visits in a period of no less than 2 months we will automatically register you on the UKARA database.
Q. My gun, or my parent's gun, is all black, but I am under 18. Can I play with it on your site?
A. Yes. UKARA is policed at the point of sale. Once you have your gun, we do not stop people and ask about their purchase or legality.
Q. What is an RIF?
A. RIF stands for Realistic Imitation Firearm.
Q. Can I sign up with GZ as I am under 18 years of age?
A. No. At the moment under 18s cannot legally purchase a Realistic Imitation Firearm, therefore there is currently no need to sign up for Ground Zero membership.
Q. Why is it that people I know who are under 18 have their own guns?
A. Either they purchased their guns before the VCRA legislation came into force or someone over 18 purchased a two-tone gun for them.
