⚔ Ready to try something new?
Not sure if fencing is for you? We’ve got you covered — come along to our Give It A Go sessions and get a taste for the sport, no experience needed! Check out our socials for upcoming dates.
⚔ What we’re all about
At Leicester Fencing, most of our members start with zero experience — so you don’t need to worry if you’ve never held a sword before. We foster a community that values:
Whether you want to fence for fun, challenge yourself competitively, or simply enjoy the social side of things, you’ll find your place here.
⚔ Competitions & weapons
We train and compete in all three fencing weapons: Foil, Épée, and Sabre. As members of BUCS (British University & College Sport), our teams travel and compete across the country. But you can choose your level — casual sessions or competitive squads.
⚔ Social & community
Fencing isn’t just about the piste. We run socials, film nights, and themed events, giving you plenty of opportunity to hang out, make friends, and enjoy university life beyond the sport.
