Do you know someone who could be a fantastic foilist or a sensational sabreur? This year everyone will have an ideal opportunity to enjoy some fencing as Mini-Fence will be making its debut appearance at the Northern Ireland Open in Belfast this Saturday and Sunday.

Mini-Fence will be running in the café area of the Avoneil leisure centre (just off Albert Bridge Road) on both Saturday 16^th and Sunday 17^th January while the Northern Ireland Open is underway. Mini-Fence is safe and fun for all ages - the novice fencer can learn the basics like the en garde position and can try out some basic blade work while under careful supervision.No experience or kit is needed as masks and swords are provided. All are welcome.
