Fencing

Fancy yourself as a bit of a swordsman? Put your money where your mouth is in this classic stag weekend activity!

We've found a genuine Olympic medal winner to coach you in the fine art of fencing. You'll learn to cut, thrust, parry and feint as you wield the rapier or the sabre. Don't think this is just a sport for girls and losers, either. You need muscles of steel to control your weapon while you dance around your opponent, and a cold-blooded killer instinct to hit his body on the mark.

Forget guns. It's time to get up close and personal with actual blades. If you're not roaring like an extra from Game of Thrones by lunchtime, you're not trying hard enough!

Fencing's a brilliant way to blow off those hangovers, one day into your stag weekend. Book an early(ish) session to sweat out last night's booze, and you'll be fighting fit again for more madness in the afternoon. En garde, lads. Just don't forget to record the moment when the best man accidentally stabs himself in the foot!

Your fencing lesson includes professional instruction from a medal-winning fighter, all the weapons and safety gear you need, and refreshments.
