Scottish Schools

Celebrate the End of the School Year with the Three Weapon Challenge!

We have new discount codes for those entering more than one competition. For two weapons - use 2WEAPON26, for those entering three weapons use 3WEAPON26

This competition is all about having fun, trying something new, and celebrating the end of the school year with fellow fencers. It’s a great opportunity to step outside your usual weapon, challenge yourself, and go for the Three Weapon Trophies.

Whether you're new to fencing or have plenty of experience, this event is open to all levels – and we strongly encourage you to enter more than one event, even if it’s not your usual weapon. You might surprise yourself!

Come along, get involved, and enjoy a fantastic day of friendly competition and fighting for your school's honour.
