Salle Holyrood is a community fencing club in Edinburgh. We welcome fencers from beginners to elite athletes, from the age of 8 upwards, and have an active friendly community including juniors, seniors through to veterans. Each week there is a combination of learning and sparring.
The club is a great environment for beginners who simply want to learn a new sport and get active, through to competitive fencers of all ages who want to compete and progress in the sport.
Our coaching team has a total of 50 years’ experience and includes British national team coaches and fencers. Club nights give opportunities to train alongside and spar with current and past members of the British and Scottish Cadet, Junior and Senior national teams, and we are working on new schemes to ensure that even our youngest fencers can take advantage of the experience and knowledge of their club mates.
Most importantly, we are proud of being a friendly, supportive and welcoming club that gives children and adults across Edinburgh equal access to this incredible sport.
You are welcome to come and give us a try – just contact us to arrange a visit.
