About the Warwick Open

We are proud to present a ranked BF Open Competition, open to all who are 13 years and over. We aim to be a fun, friendly and of course competitive Open. We encourage entries from those who may be looking to enter their first Open and those who have done many. We are in an easily accessible location close to Birmingham and Coventry, with Warwick train station a few mins walk away, perhaps even being England’s most central Open. Prizes will of course be awarded to the top four fencers in each category.

Entry can be made via the British Fencing Platform (Sport80)
