Pembroke Fencing Club Dublin

Pembroke Fencing Birthdays

Pembroke Fencing Club offers a unique party experience for your child’s birthday. No experience required! Let their imagination run wild to create a great adventure through this Olympic sport. Our professionally trained staff will teach your party guests the sport of Olympic fencing in a safe and fun environment.

What you need

We provide all the equipment needed (jackets, masks, and fencing foils) for a non-stop sword fighting birthday extravaganza. We’ll suit everyone up in jackets and masks, teach the basics of fencing and play group fencing games. With team games and fun props, your child’s party is sure to be one to remember. We provide one or one and a half hours of fencing fun at your home. If you do not have the room for fencing event, we can organize to hire the hall or you can yourself find the hall.

Firstly, the instructor shows the children how to stand, move, attack and defend (fencing style). Finally, they are shown target areas and safety. Next, they are suited up in the fencing gear and then they begin the fencing games. The games are played one against one and group against a group. Choose from the packages below or contact us to discuss your individual requirements.

Our parties are designed for two different group ages:

The Musketeers Adventure – for kids 6 to 10.

60-90 minutes of fencing games and sword-fighting entertainment for everyone in a real fencing club environment.

For the little ones, we’ll start with a fun warm up game and an interactive lesson in how to move like a fencer.

The kids will learn then about the fencing equipment and get the chance to suit up in real fencing gear.

This is a great time for girls and boys with a sense of adventure and a love of swords.

 This package gives you the option to use, instead of real fencing gear, the special fencing play suits, lighter and easier to manage, for the little ones.

Knights in White – for 10 to 16 years old

If your son or daughter keeps bugging you about trying fencing, Knights in White is exactly what you’re looking for – fun and exciting, the feeling of being a real fencer on the strip, facing your opponent (and earning your pizza slice right after!).

We’ll begin with a short introduction to fencing, basic rules, strategy and actions.

Young aspiring fencers will try target practice, drills and bouts.

In addition to our fun Birthday Parties, our club offers Fencing Parties for both kids and adults, for a rate of 20.00 euro per person, for a minimum of 8 people for 1,5 h private group instruction, including: basic rules, score touch system, equipment and fencing bouts (matches) – hours of fun, being active and trying something new!!

Please, schedule your party in advance to make sure you secure your date, by emailing or calling us.

Birthday Parties at Ski Centre Dublin

No matter the weather, we combine fun with learning on Ireland’s only indoor ski slopes. Our slopes use a unique revolving technology that simulates real ski runs, allowing skiers to get in realistic length ski runs. 

Whether experienced skier or budding enthusiast, we welcome everyone to join in the fun and develop their slope skills with us. For those who have never skied before, our slopes are by far the easiest and safest way to learn. Once you get on the slope and hold onto the bar, you’ll be on your way! Our expert instructors are beside skiers every step of the way and with a remote control they can control the speed and height of the slope. Like all good sports instructors, they can pre-empt any falls and quickly bring the slopes to a stop at a touch of a button.

Highlighting the positive benefits that come from physical activity and movement is central to what we do, and our aim is to for lifelong associations to be formed. The social element is not to be underestimated either – through adventurous team challenges with their friends, the children will learn to ski through play.

All equipment is included to get suited and booted, but we recommend wearing comfy sports gear and that thick sports/ski socks are brought along to wear underneath the boots. 

  • Suitable for ALL abilities
  • Increased motor and social skills
  • Team challenges and adventures
  • Safe environment with strict procedures in place
  • All instructors Garda vetted and hold multiple ski teaching qualifications

Birthday Parties

Together with their friends, your child will ski on the only indoor slopes in Ireland, with safe activities, skill-based games and fun competitions to suit absolutely every ability. All equipment is provided, with your 18 guests (maximum capacity) alternating every 10 minutes between our two slopes and games room for an hour. 

Food can be served in your private après-ski lodge for a further 30 mins of celebrations, and the birthday child will also be gifted an additional ski lesson from us to be used another time.

SATURDAYS/SUNDAYS

  • €199 for one slope – maximum 9 people (no minimum)
