Bramley is an MOD training area which also occasionally gets rented out for film shoots / airsoft events etc. The pictures look pretty good. Has anyone played at an event here?

nope, but on there site i do recognise cordelleros ( cold and deleriuos) farm up in catterick, i am sure many other ex regs will too.
I recognise quite a few places on that website.... 
Bramley is used by an Airsoft company called AMS. Don't know how many games a year they currently run there. Oh, one thing about the site. Do. Not. Ever. Dig. Holes. There. Use your imagination why - cos i aint telling ya the truth lol.
When we were a Kingdom it was run by a King
When we were an Empire it was run by an Empress
Now we're a country we're run by a..........
Erm...because it's built over an old Indian burial ground and that would disturb the spirits of their ancestors and lead to everlasting damnation for all the players???
I've spoken to the bloke in charge and he has already explained the folly of digging anywhere on this site.
It's affordable and they are amenable to airsoft events.
The big downside is that if the grown-ups want to use it for something - even after you've booked and paid up - that's tough luck and you're out. He says he grants 200 licences a year and has to yank about 5 so it's a small risk but still a risk.

Erm, don't dig holes because - AMS specialise in wild orchid cultivation and it's an offence to dig them up?
Here's a couple of clues;
1. Remember that old AA advert with the kid on the beach?
2. It was a WW1 favorite.
“I wanted to come to the Volga at a specific location at a specific city. By chance it carries the name of Stalin himself. So don’t think I marched there for this reason – it could carry another name – but because there is a very important goal... this goal I wanted to take – and you know – we are very modest, we have it already."

It is on your perseverance, staunchness, fighting skill and readiness to discharge your duty to the country that the defeat of the German-fascist army and the liberation of the Soviet land from the Hitlerite invaders depend! We can and must clear the Soviet land of Hitlerite vermin."

Alcoholics Anonymous advertise now????
And it used to be such an exclusive little club 
Ah right, so we are getting somewhere....
Something to do with under age drinking and a WW1 favourite, so possibly milk stout?
OK, the Bramley site still has untapped reservoirs of Mackeson's XXX, now near bursting since it's decline in popularity since WW2, in some areas so close to surface that puncture with a spade will lead to localised flooding of alcoholic beverage.
Close?

Yeah, close, you might get a whiff of something that goes well (or not) with a ham sandwich too

Mmmmn, pickle mine?
Cheese? Is it an impact site for a meteor from the moon?
Hah, 'tis a former Ploughman's Lunch manufacturing facility!
How exciting! I mean, how mundane would it be if it turned out to be a former MOD mustard gas storage facility? 
a former MOD mustard gas storage facility?
well if you're just going to come up with daft suggestions like that I'm not playing any more.
Cheese is the only logical explanation.

And I bet some greedy MOD boss is letting it mature as a retirement nest egg!

Yeah that would be a complete let down. Then we couldn't secretly go cheese prospecting at night.
Where's the cracker's Gromit?

Its not so much a "storage facility" as a "I think we burried some around here somewhere but no-one knows exactly where" facility 
Allegedly, Bramley is also a favoured training facilty of a certain "Regiment"

Apologies, silly me.
The question remaining then - what sort of cheese?
Edam 'liberated' from the push through the Lowlands? (Often mined in nugget form and sold under the trade name BabyBell)
Evil gaseous home-grown Stilton used for bacterial nerve agent sort of munitions?
Mozzarella stolen from the Italians (heh, what's mozzarella all about then, do they really have buffalo in Italy?)
Maybe it's the glorious pealable cheesestrings - dumped there because the manufacturer went into production with a product that turned out to be inedible?
A bogland of squeezable dairylea? (Vast stocks were used in WW2 rations I believe.)
.....begins to regret starting thread.....
On a more serious note, My brother has played there once at an AMS game and he thought it was a very good site, Probably only suitable for smallish numbers, about 20 per side max which would be perfect for a CIA game. Lots of big hangers so could be good for a secret weapons of the Luftwaffe type scenario or V2 factory or something like that. Time for Kermit to start knocking up a full size Me262

My bet is all the Brie that was evacuated from france in 1940 before paris fell. Its now mature to such a degree that any rupture in the white rind would result in explosive decompression of the cheese interior.

Hmm, I remember discussing such a scenario at the weekend, I can't remember who with though. The site does indeed look interesting and no doubt could be used in a whole variety of games going by those photos. How much would actually be playable though? I assume you can't play inside the big mansion building?
