A leading Sabre Fencing Club for England

There are very few fencing clubs in the United Kingdom with their own specialist centre (Fencing Salle). We are fortunate to have our own facility for our training sessions and we are modelled on facilities that are more commonly found throughout Europe and other strong fencing nations. We are easily accessible and are located next to Bishops Stortford. We are 10 minutes drive from the M11 and A10. We have configured our centre specifically for Sabre Fencing and related athletic training.

Our Centre includes the following facilities:

8 Fencing Pistes

Our Centre has 4 full sized Olympic fencing pistes with clear run off space and 4 additional training pistes. These are configured with wall mounted spools for safety and to keep the floor clear during training. Each piste is configured with Italian Favero Scoring Equipment. The design and layout of our Salle has been set to meet the minimum space requirements for competitions by the British Fencing Association.

Dedicated Armoury

We have a fully equipped armoury with equipment for Beginners of all ages. We can provide Masks, Jackets, Plastrons, Gloves and Full Electric Training kit for all members of our adult and youth beginner programmes.

Specialist Sports Floor for Fencing

The floor of our Fencing Salle is fitted with a Hungarian supplied specialist floor designed for fencing and higher impact sports. This is a specialist grade that is not used in ordinary school halls and leisure centres. The floor is designed to minimise impact and reduce injuries for those who are training.

Support Facilities

Our facility also has a dedicated Kitchen, Toilets, Club Locker Room and Changing Space. We also have a mezzanine gallery overlooking the fencing Salle which also provides a rest area for the fencing team and office and planning space for training activities.

High Performance Lighting

Our Salle has been designed to meet the recommended FIE standards for illumination of competition pistes and exceeds ordinary school sport hall requirements. We have specialist low-energy high performance LED sports lighting in the Salle. Our specific configuration meets the standard recommended (both vertical and horizontal lux levels) for International Fencing Events.
