Equipment? All fencers must ensure their equipment complies with current British Fencing regulations. A maximum blade size of 5 is permitted in all weapons and therefore fencers must wear 800N plastrons. 800N gloves are compulsory. Breeches and long socks must be worn for all on-piste training. Chest protectors should be worn where required.

Entry? Entry via Sport80 (link). £35 for the day which includes any individual lessons.

Additional Information?

Free entry to the Sportpark if you explain to the front desk you are there for fencing.

The main UEA car park should be used for those arriving by car, this is free if you validate your parking in the Sportspark reception. We would advise you not to park in the Sportspark car park as that is only free for the first 4 hours, then £5 for every hour beyond that.

A cafe is also in operation throughout the day, offering hot and cold food to suit a variety of dietary requirements.
