BF is mindful of the rising costs of attending fencing events and the potential barrier to participation this creates for some members of our community. As a result, BF is offering a limited number of free entries. These will be offered based on financial need, not on ability.  This scheme will cover 100% of the entry fee cost.

Applications must be completed per athlete. For multiple athletes from one household, please complete separate application forms.

The form will be available soon.

Entry form deadline: 5th August 2026 

You will hear back by 7th August 2026.

Equipment: All fencers must wear the correct kit as per British Fencing rules. This will include FIE chest protectors (m.25 4(c) ) and 800N sabre gloves (as per the rule at https://www.britishfencing.com/urgent-safety-notice-sabre-gloves/).

Masks with 2 rear safety systems are required – see further information here.

Weapons control will be in operation for the Individual Foil and Sabre events, focusing on conductivity testing.

The following items ONLY will be required to be presented to weapons control:

• Foil lame
• Foil mask and mask bib
• Sabre glove
• Sabre lame
• Sabre mask
• For Foil and Epee, masks, gloves, weights and gauges will be checked on the piste by referees.

Please note that the weapons control is not intended to act as a full safety check. The primary purpose of the check is to ensure equipment meets the conductivity requirements – i.e. scoring hits are registered. However, equipment may still fail due to safety reasons.

It remains the fencer’s responsibility to ensure that personal fencing kit meets safety standards.

Weapons Control Opening Times:

• Friday 11th September 2026 – 18:00 – 20:00
• Saturday 12th September 2026 – 07:45 – 12:30
• Sunday 13th September 2026 – 07:45 – 13:00
