An Airsoft Day organised with the support of volunteers and player marshals is more than just a recreational event—it’s a platform for building connections and forging friendships.

- ×phil regan21/08/24What can I say about ACE combat - fantastic place not just play airsoft but great fun with the family (shooting your family members by accident), meet great people that will help guide new and old players. The place is a great size as well, if you have never done airsoft and want to do it then this place is ideal - all kit can be provided as well. Airsoft is for all ages between 14 till your knees give in, and just not for the boys as well.×Ricky Osborne03/08/24It's a positive experience from the start. When you pull into the site you are met by marshalls to guide parking depending on how long you expect to attend. Your equipment is ferried up to the safe area as it's quite a walk. The game areas are quite extensive and well thought out, with old vehicles and buildings. Marshalls "play" on different sides to ensure that rules are followed most specifically shot taking. There are also marshalls around in high viz if you need them. It was a very hot day and they kept games in the wooded area for most of the day. We have not played outside before as always been CQB. So can't compare to other outdoor sites but in my opinion it's a good one and definitely worth a visit. We aim to return but might wait for it to be a bit cooler as my glasses kept fogging up despite the "no fog" ?
- ×Major SnowBeast15/07/24My friend and I come here very often, and have loved it every time! This site isn't huge (but not small) which means non-stop action. Here are some features: -Nice open safe zone. -Well stocked shop inside safe zone, where you can also purchase drinks and snacks. -Great staff and friendly community. -Great variety of areas (A CQB area, two bits of woodland, an open area littered with structures for cover and more!) -Constant implementation of new game modes, such as using vehicles. -Variety of game modes throughout the day, so there is constantly new activity. -A photographer comes in and takes pictures, which you can access on his website. I love when I come here, rain or shine! Highly recommend, best in the area.×Kate Foster14/07/24This is my son's favourite airsoft venue in Kent. It is really welcoming and they are always ready to lend a hand to new players. You never have aggressive hostile players. The site is not too open, but not too bushy, so opportunities to take a shot. He has enjoyed every session he has been here and has introduced friends to Ace too who have caught the bug. Highly recommend.×Darran Anthony11/07/24Such a great day out. Had so much fun .we have been twice now in the last couple of months.cant wait to go again . Me and my two boys love it ..I would totally recommend going to all .A very reasonable price to higher everything you need and have fun All day.. Ace combat = Ace day out .....??
- ×Zee P08/07/24Right, so my review is grossly overdue but felt like now's a better time than never to share my opinion. I've been visiting this site over the course of a few years (2018+ or so) due to its relative convenience and size, having just gotten back into Airsoft having gained my driver's license at that time! It's gone through its fair share of arena changes and a little downsizing, but I feel it's for the better as they are currently focused on the sites continued development to better occupy the space and in its utilisation. They have been introducing new and refined game modes to better accommodate for this and hope to see the results of more additions by the end of 2024 - fingers crossed! I feel they are definitely steering more towards a mixed woodlands vibe to handle more mid-small cqb style games so if that's your kind of stuff, give it a go! As previous reviews have mentioned, it's the people that make up what's rest of the experience here! I can say without a doubt that everybody, be it staff to players (regulars or new) have always been courteous and friendly and feel it's what best represents Ace as a whole. It doesn't have this overly serious and regimented undertone and more like an inclusive family. Everyone is treated fairly, but getting to know everyone on a personal level is easy to achieve and rewarding. I won't go into the intricacies of any minor niggles I may have as they personally do not hinder my experience here. As mentioned, they are undergoing a development period so teething issues may persist whilst things are ironed out - I've always been able to talk so freely with the site owners/team whether it's about life or the site itself, so I have confidence in what they plan to deliver going forward. They are only limited by resources after all (that's the real world for you) In all if you're looking for a site that's easy-going whether you're a newbie or an experienced player, give Ace Combat a go!!! 🙂×Diego Maiorino01/06/24One of the friendliest and fun Airsoft site in Kent! Always attracts such great players and I've never had a bad day there. They've done so many new improments to the site such as adding new cover and land marks which completely changes the game for better pacing and gameplay! I highly recommend ace combat to new and veteran players alike, you won't be disappointed! ?×C S14/05/24My first time at Ace Combat site. Pros: 1. Friendly staff. 2. Friendly players with a good social vibe. 3. Well organised. 4. Good price for a full days game and also the food and beverage are good price too. 5. Strong safety measures. 6. Fun game play ideas. Suggested improvements: 1. x2 large open driveway areas with limited coverage to push forward down the driveways. I would recommend building on either side of both driveways 'Z' shaped wooden fences to allow for players to be able to push forward down the driveways, for both teams. 2. Limited bridges when played a game that encompasses both the woodland and the CQB field, to cross over the ditch that runs along side the long driveway. This causes choke points in the game (a snipers dream). 3. x1 portoloo, maybe invest in an additional x1. 4. A bit of a walk from where we park the car to the safe zone. Conclusion: 1. This site has the potential to have a good balance between CQB and sniper play if they invest in some extra coverage and bridges along the two wide parallel driveways that intersect the CQB field and the woodland. 2. It is definitely worth a visit to play, especially if you are wanting to get into/try Airsoft. The friendly staff and clientele in addition to the fun game ideas, makes it a fun, sociable and welcoming community. 3. Due to the current layout, if you play as a sniper, you will have a great time and get many "kills". 4. If you are a veteran Airsoft player and touring Kent for Airsoft sites, add Ace Combat to your list ??.
- ×Stephen Davis (Silverhill Webdesign)02/05/24We have been going to Ace Combat Airsoft for the past couple of years we always leave happy, feeling like we have had a great day out be it sunny, wet, cold or hot (and sometimes is can be very wet and cold). Liz and Chris, together with the rest of the team, organise a brilliant day of different objectives and the whole thing is managed very effectively (rules are rules). So if you want a great day out, whatever the weather (providing you have the right gear of course), then go airsoft and go with Ace Combat.
- ×Gary Johnston07/02/24Had my first taste of airsoft at this site over 10years ago and have been coming back ever since. Mix of woodland, open ground and CQB, the site has been redeveloped massively, and the new safe zone is much closer to the game area. Highly recommend for both first timers and seasoned players alike!×Trio Well-Being07/02/24As a total beginner I was slightly unsure about what to expect from playing, but everyone at Ace made me feel really welcome. The games were fun, challenging and different every time. I had a great time! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a friendly and fun place to play
- ×Ruth Cattorini (Delta C)05/11/23This is one heck of a great place to go to. I have been here a couple of times already. The site is incredibly organized and the events are well planned out for a great day with all to enjoy as a team. I experienced my first time here a few days before my wedding at it was one of my best send offs! A great memory to last a lifetime, I will never forget (in a good way). I recommend Ace to everyone I know, it's just fantastic! Looking forward to the next event 🙂
- ×Rob Smith05/06/23Well run site, games are usually interesting bar one (i personally find the border control one a bit boring and easy to cheat) Only one criticism is a new change: The safe zone is now in the game zone, which has caused there to be quite the bottle neck on that side of the site. It does create decent firefights but it's literally within touching distance of the safe zone. So then the safe zone gets lit up with bb's and they can either go over the top, hit the trees and fall down onto people within the safe zone. Go through the holes in the metal panelling or go through the roof section where it looks like there are gaps. Which makes the safe zone.. a bit more dangerous. Don't get me wrong, they haven't had an issues with it yet but i can see it happening sometime in the future. It's a decent place for it but i think it would be better if some extra counter measures were put into place to ensure bb projectiles don't enter it. To reiterate: very good site overall, good gameplay, awesome CQB area, nice differentiation in distances and cover options. Definitely recommend coming but i think the safe zone needs some extra protection added to stop bb's potentially coming into it.
- ×1066Kitchen05/02/23Went to ACE combat yesterday and had the best time, it was for my sons 13th birthday and he took a friend as well as myself. I cannot fault the day everyone is very happy and friendly to see you and overall a good bunch. Heath and safely is paramount and the short safety briefing is very good. This adventure is mostly in a large forest with lots of props to give you cover and hide behind. The shots to the body isn’t as bad as you think, but to keep the level of sting down we’re a long sleeved top. Eye and head protective equipment is supplied, as well as the rifle and ammo. The ammo amount is sufficient and we had some left over but obviously if you are using fully automatic John Rambo Style you can get threw it quite quickly. 10/10 for the day and would do it again for sure
- ×Mat Olson05/02/22I've been to site twice now. It's a cracking site the marshals are super helpful with what ever you need. Great game modes, they listen to advice about games and adjust them.. I've got to say really impressed with adjustment. Also there man of the match ? is a good idea... not only saying this as may have won it ? but giving the guys or gals being weather your new or a vet a free walk on is also one of the best ideas I've ever seen on a site.. Cant fault ace at all. Will deffo recommend and also be going back soon in the future... Cheers guys and gals for everything you got it rocking ?
- ×Tom Jaggard05/02/21I'm proud to say that Ace Combat is one of the best sites I have ever been to. I have continued to visit the site of the past 10ish years and there is good reason for it. I've visited sites all over the UK, for both one offs and repeated visits, and Ace Combat has always stood out as being the most professional, friendly and well run sites I have had experience with. The site itself is very unique too, with both challenging woodland areas and open ground fields. They're always bring new and innovative ideas to their games to keep things exciting. If I were to think of a criticism, the only thing I could think of would be the safety briefing goes on a bit, however it's understandable with the amount of natural hazards in the field, such as craters and car wreckage. There is also always a sense of community at the site, and that isn't the classic "I'm friends with the marshal so I don't take hits" mentality! Newcomers are always welcome and are guaranteed to have a good time. Thank you Ace Combat, don't stop being awesome ?×Simon Matthews05/02/21Excellent team and cannot fault the organisers, water tight safety, excellent games. My only issue is it seemed to attract alot of gungho testosterone types with a few moaners. This lets the game down a little. No hit calling etc. I'm not sure how to combat this, but it did marr the day a little. Otherwise will be going back!
- ×John Ashman05/02/20Me and a few buddies from work went to Ace for the first time today and from the get go all the staff where absolutely amazing all jumping in with the banter between groups aswell as ensuring safety and fair game is monitored at all times. The food was just what we needed after a windy muddy morning and finished the day off with 2 final longer games had an absolute blast of a time today will definitely be returning again in the very near future. Hats of the Chris and the team
- ×Luke Chatfield05/02/19Ace is a very great airsoft site for all types of players, the games are very mixed from week to week and game play is very mixed would recommend this site to friends and is family friend if you do decide to bring little ones with you staff and players are very friendly and marshal are also good out in the field!!
