Event Details
The festival is held every August for the sport of Airsoft, which is a shooting sport played in a similar way to paintball, but more realistic. The event, which is the largest of it's kind in Europe, runs on the Somerley Estate in Ringwood on the August bank holiday weekend, which this year is 28-30th. We have run for the past 7 years with attendance figures of 1500-2000 and over, last year was a record breaking year of 2000. The website for the event is www.airsoftfestival.com



Because we are always looking to expand the stalls and things offered in addition to the game itself that runs, we are finding more families, wives, girlfriends and female players come, some just to camp and enjoy the festival spirit of the event.

The event runs from the morning of Friday 28th August through to Sunday afternoon 30th August, and we have in excess of 2000 people camping on site, so the audience is very much captive, and exclusive in terms of the types of catering offered. We have a designated food area in the front field, which is busy all day, early evening and at certain times of the late evening dependant on what is going on (we hold a prize raffle on the Saturday evening where almost everyone comes to the food area, and run a big projection movie screen next to the food area until around midnight).



We can offer electricity hookup to our generator on site, you would simply need to bring appropriate extension leads. Water is also available nearby from a number of taps.



For catering, we do not charge any pitch fee, all we would ask is that we make the same arrangement we have with the other caterers which is that we issue food & drink tokens to the marshals and staff that help us run the event, and with these they could get a meal from you at no charge (we have between 60 and 80 staff/marshals that run the event, and not everyone would use them) The tokens are divided equally between the number of caterers we have, and the sittings for which they are open, so it is all very fair and regulated. We have found this works extremely well for caterers vs paying a fee or commission and it is easier for us.

If you would like to ask anything else, please do not hesitate to drop me an email.

We have opened online registration for stallholders on our website this year, and can advertise your attendance on the website with pictures of your stall and any information you want to advertise to people in advance by completing the form here: http://www.groundzeroairsoft.com/nae/booking/stalls.php

If you would like to attend, and are accepted, we will need:

- confirmation that you will cover the event from Friday morning through Sunday afternoon (we strongly recommend arriving Thursday evening to set up for Friday morning, whilst there is the space to do so).

- a copy of your insurance.

- a £50 (completely returnable upon arrival) deposit to secure a pitch space (which also reserves and guarantees exclusivity on the type of food you offer). This is simply a security measure on our part to ensure those who say they are coming turn up, otherwise the pitches could be offered to others as we need to ensure adequate catering for the event.

INTEREST MUST BE SUBMITTED VIA OUR WEBSITE
