En Garde! Grab your mask and sword and get ready to duel in fencing.
Looking for something a little different or unusual?
Our experienced fencing instructors will guide all participants through the basic techniques of stance, movement and attack before letting them put it into practice through duels. A popular addition to our school activity days.

The equipment we us use for fencing is a specially developed plastic kit developed by the British Fencing Association. The benefit is safer, lighter foils that still work just as a metal foil (sword) would. We also have a set of foam swords that are perfect for mini swashbucklers. Owing to their lightweight and soft nature; we don't need to worry too much if they begin to recreate Pirates of the Caribbean in the middle of a Duel!
As a structured activity, Fencing offers the opportunity to try something a little different and unusual. Over the course of an hour, basics can be mastered and duels take place (under the watchful eye of an instructor).
The activity can be used either indoors or outdoors. We use barrier when we are outside and in an open space to keep any passers-by safe.
We have a choice of junior and mini fencing equipment.
Who is this activity for?
Fencing is an ideal activity for schools, scouts, guides or charities and is primarily aimed at young people.
As part of a drop-in type day we generally suggest splitting each hour into 3/4 time slots as it can be tricky to bring people in at different stages during the activity. We can put up signage letting people know when sessions will begin.
