🇬🇧 United Kingdom
The UK’s biggest airsoft weekend – two full game days, camping, a bar and live music – and the latest winner of the Players’ Choice ‘Best Airsoft Event’ award.
The National Airsoft Festival (NAF) is hosted by Ground Zero Airsoft on the Somerley Estate near Ringwood. When it started in 2006 it was the largest airsoft event ever held in the UK, and 2026 marked its 20th anniversary.
A standard ticket covers two full game days, a pistol and shotgun game, Friday and Saturday night camping and the festival entertainment, with optional early arrival on Thursday and a late stay on Monday. The relaxed safe zone with food, a bar and live music makes it popular with groups and families, and it won ‘Best Airsoft Event’ at the 15th Airsoft Players’ Choice Awards.
Ringwood, Hampshire / Dorset border is about 2,100 km from Sofia as the crow flies. Most players fly and rent a vehicle for the gear – check the organiser’s rules on transporting replicas before you travel. Always check the organiser’s rules on replica transport, FPS/joule limits and tickets on the official channels before you book.
