Welcome to Worthing Fencing Club
Our club is open for complete beginners to experienced fencers. We offer training in épée, which is one of the three weapons used in modern fencing (and the weapon used in the Modern Olympic Pentathlon). The club provides equipment and lessons, and electronic pistes for more experienced fencers to use.
Come along to try out a new sport, hone your skills, or find a challenging new opponent!

Beginner's Fencing Courses
Due to rising numbers and coaching cover we limited to providing beginner courses at set time in the year. Please check the Beginner's Course page for details when the next session is due to run.
Where and when?
We fence on Friday evenings at Durrington High School from 7pm - 8:30PM. As of 2025, the group will meet in the new Performing Arts Centre although we may be in other rooms depending on what's happening in the school.
There is a large car park at the front of the school entrance. To get to the Arts Centre, please follow the access path to to left hand side of the main entrance, follow the small road past the New Gym, and head towards the physical education block and lettings office indicated on the map below.
The Performing Arts Centre is through a set of double doors between the small gymnasium and the Assembly Hall (where we were previously situated).

What can I expect?
Sessions involve a short warm-up with games and exercises, then we split into classes for young/beginners and intermediates. Experienced fencers are welcome to use the electric boxes, or join in with senior class if they like. Kit is provided, but you should wear comfortable sports clothing that covers your legs and trainers/court shoes. Bring some water to drink as it will get hot in the equipment!
How much does it cost?
Our drop-in fee for club members is £10 for adults (£8 for juniors) or you can buy a ten-week block (£80 for adults, £60 for juniors). You are welcome to pop along and observe a session if you are interested, otherwise we run scheduled beginner courses where your first session is free.
