About the club
Above:
we welcome fencers of all ages.
We take pride in running a club with a friendly atmosphere. You can fence for fun, to learn the fascinating art of swordplay, or you can choose to train for tournaments. Recently, members of Tiverton Swords have collected various county and regional tournament medals, and some have been invited onto Devon's county team for the massive Excalibur inter-county tournament.
Above: Tiverton fencers have often been selected
for Devon's Excalibur teams.
The club was established by Ben Hodgson in 2008. Tiverton Swords Fencing Club is affiliated to British Fencing, and although we are a small community club, we have strong links with the BF South West region and the Devon County Fencing Union. Like most clubs, we rely on volunteer power! We truly appreciate all the kind support from the local community, such as Moorhayes Community Association, the Viscount Amory Charitable Trust, private donors, companies such as Roundcube Sports and fellow clubs such as Wellington Swords and Barnstaple Fencing Club.
