“Love this place. I’ve been going to Driver Wood Airsoft for over a year now. There’s been a lot of upgrades the last few months with a whole new section about to open. The staff and marshals are really helpful. It’s quite an honourable place where people call their hits. The map is setting a good decent amount of land and has great variety, with a close quarters area they’ve called Oxford Street filled with old helicopters, buses and London taxis (you can go inside them) along with a fortress and a heavy woodland area. So there’s something for everyone. Highly recommend”

“We (group of 8) had a really great day for my sons 15th. The staff were fantastic, in all departments! From the lovely, extremely helpful staff in the office and food area. The instructor for the rifle shooting was a great teacher and made it fun for us. And all the stewards/Marshalls for our afternoon paintball session were great, especially the main instructor who did his job amazingly! Very clear serious instructions delivered in a fun way (he also looked about 17!). We all had a great day and my son loved his birthday. Thanks to all the staff ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“I’ve been playing at Driver Wood since my very first airsoft game, and it’s been amazing to watch the site grow and flourish over the years. The way the site is laid out is fantastic, the facilities are some of the best I’ve come across, and every time I go back it feels like it’s improving. Honestly, the photos and stories don’t come close to showing how good this place really is you have to experience it yourself. As with any airsoft site, cheating does crop up from time to time, but because of how big the game field has become, it can feel a bit more noticeable here. Even so, the marshals are always on the ball, keeping things fair and enjoyable, and their friendly attitude makes a huge difference to the day. I do feel that when I first started, the marshals seemed even better more relaxed and personable but that could just be nostalgia speaking. The community has definitely changed over the years, and not always for the better. Since some of the other local sites have shut down, Driver Wood has seen an increase in toxic players and cheaters coming through. It’s not the site’s fault, and the marshals do everything they can to manage it, but it’s something long-time players like myself have noticed as the player base has grown. The on-site shop is a brilliant addition, especially for new players who might need to grab gear or last-minute essentials. A lot of the kit is similar to what you’d find on sites like AliExpress or Temu, which makes it very affordable and accessible for beginners. But as a regular, it would be great to see the shop expand to include a wider range of gear for more experienced players too. Seeing some bigger name brands like Crye, Warrior, or similar high-quality kit would be amazing, and it would really show love to the loyal players who have been coming back for years. One thing I really need to highlight is how well the marshals handle difficult situations. I had an incident once where aggression became an issue, and they dealt with it brilliantly—calm, professional, and fair. Overall, Driver Wood is an outstanding site with a welcoming community at its core, brilliant facilities, and a marshal team that genuinely cares about the players. It’s been a huge part of my airsoft journey, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a proper experience I’ve attached some photos below of me at driver wood but I haven’t bought pictures the last 3 times Ive went so they don’t fully represent the site or my kit”
