£7 per person or £5 RSPB Members
Ever fancied yourself as a Pirate? Musketeer or Jedi? or perhaps a Ninja? Using plastic training swords, an experienced fencing coach will guide you on how to: to move, attack and defend yourself. Then you will have the opportunity to put these skills into practise and battle!
Fencing is an excellent workout for the body and mind, it can also be a stress reliever, as the mind is focused on the sword fighting game and the body is producing feel-good endorphins as you become fully immersed in the moment of the challenge.
Booking essential with RSPB Lake Vyrnwy.
