On the 9th and 10th of February 2013 will be the British Airsoft Show that will be finally held at Stoneleigh Park Exhibition Centre, near Coventry. This is an indoor exhbition centre with 20,000 sq.ft. exhibit floor space and to be filled up by some of the best known airsoft retailers and distributors in the United Kingdom. The opening times will be 0800H to 1630H for both days offering you enough time to check what's on display and try out airsoft demonstrations that will be happening on those days.

The British Airsoft Show is supported by Airsoft Action Magazine and Airsoft International Magazine, two of the leading airsoft print magazines.

For UKARA-registered airsoft players, purchasing airsoft guns will not be a hassle as the UKARA database will be online and thus checking your UKARA details before allowing you to purchase an airsoft gun will be easier. Just make note of your UKARA number and an ID to compare identification so transactions will be smoother. You get to hold and check airsoft guns from various vendors all under one roof.

So, who will be exhibiting at the Show? As mentioned above, some of the best known airsoft companies in the UK will be exhbiting and here's the list:

A CQB area which will take almost half of the exhibit floor space will be for regular demonstrations with the dependable guys from Stirling Airsoft setting up the demo area and you get to taste live entry and live assaults with Snatch Vehicles.

The British Airsoft Show is also held together with the British Shooting Show, the largest public shooting and gun show in Europe. With over 300 confirmed exhibitors, you can check out real steel stuff and even more gear. Thus, when you purchase a ticket for the British Airsoft Show, you get to purchase a ticket for the price of two as your ticket will also allow you entry into the British Shooting Show.

If you plan on staying for two days, there are hotels nearby and with the shows just a week away, better book your rooms as soon as you can before they all get fully booked.

Ticket prices vary depending on when you're going to purchase them. For advanced purchases prices will be £15.50 for adults and £6.50 for 8-15 year olds for a single day entry whilst for a two-day entry it will be £28.00 for adults and £12.00 for 8-15 year olds. Purchasing tickets on the day of the show will be £17.50 for adults and £8.50 for 8-15 year olds for a single day entry and £30.00 for adults and £13.00 for 8-15 year olds for a two-day entry. Children under 8 get to enter free.

So if you haven't booked your tickets, better do so at an earlier time to save on ticket costs.

Popular Airsoft Operators will be there for the full two days to cover the show so expect us to be popping up and interview you or take photos of you checking the goods, so better be on your best if we get to spot you. Will be interviewing the exhbitors whether airsoft, airgun, or real steel so expect a lot of photos to be posted at the Popular Airsoft website and Facebook pages.
