      • An excellent way to keep fit

Our fencing club started in 2010 with sixteen fencers and now we regularly have over thirty fencers each Friday night. We have sixteen sets of electronic scoring equipment, ensuring our fencers get plenty of practice and fights. The fencing club fences throughout the year including holidays. 

We have experienced and qualified coaches covering mainly foil and epee. Fencing is available for those aged 8 to 80+ and beginners to advanced fencers.

We run an annual epee competition in November for juniors and seniors, specifically aimed at fencers new to competition or who have been away for a while and looking to get back into competition again. The senior events are British Fencing ranking events and the U13 and U15 junior events are also England Youth U13 and U15 selection ranking events.

We have an Interclub League Night for foil and epee on the second Friday each month.

If you have never fenced before and would like to start fencing, please either get in touch or pop along to our fencing club to see what’s involved.
