About HQ Airsoft The Outpost

The Outpost is HQ Airsoft's woodland site on Birkin Lane, tucked between Knottingley and Ferrybridge on the Yorkshire border. It sits just off the A1 and M62, within easy reach of Pontefract, Castleford, Selby, Wakefield and Leeds, so players come from right across West and North Yorkshire. The ground covers 15 acres of real woodland terrain with purpose-built fortifications and a range of game zones, from close ambushes among the trees to objective runs across more open ground. Regular skirmish days are joined by trial sessions for newcomers, plus battlesim, milsim and special events through the year. Hire kit makes it easy to give airsoft a go, and the on-site facilities cover the whole day, with hot food, drinks, toilets, battery charging and an airsoft shop stocking BBs, spares and upgrades. Membership adds UKARA registration and is shared with sister site Unit 26, and the site also hosts stag dos, school trips, club days and corporate events.
