BVF Nationals – British Veterans Fencing

This is a 3-day, 6-weapon event held annually. The day the weapons are held on changes every year to be fair to everyone because there will always be one weapon taking place on a Friday.

For the subsequent twelve months, the results will be one of the considerations for BVF team and individual selection for representative matches. These include the Veterans World Championships, the Veterans European Team Championships and various international events.

Up until 2023 the competition was officially called the BVF Championships, but this was changed as most veterans call it ‘the Nationals’.
