Win a Weekend for Two in Ghent at FenceX 2025
Visitors to FenceX 2025 will have the chance to win a truly special prize – a weekend for two in the picturesque Belgian city of Ghent, complete with an exclusive tour of Locinox’s brand-new, state-of-the-art gate hardware factory.
This incredible opportunity has been made possible thanks to Locinox, one of the world’s leading innovators in gate hardware solutions, and is supported by Fencing Times.
What’s Included in the Prize
The lucky winner and their guest will enjoy:
✈️ Return travel – either Eurostar or Ryanair flights, plus train connections to Ghent
🏨 Two nights’ hotel accommodation in the heart of the city
🏭 A private tour of Locinox’s new super-modern factory
💶 All expenses covered up to a total of €1,000
The trip schedule will see the winners travel to Ghent on Friday morning, visit the Locinox factory that afternoon, and then enjoy two nights in the city before returning home on Sunday afternoon or evening.
Why Ghent?
With its medieval architecture, lively canals, and thriving cultural scene, Ghent is often described as one of Europe’s hidden gems. Visitors can enjoy cobbled streets, museums, and a vibrant food and drink offering – all just a short journey from the UK.
For fencing professionals, the highlight will undoubtedly be the behind-the-scenes factory tour, offering a unique glimpse at how Locinox combines cutting-edge engineering with smart design to deliver world-class gate hardware.
How to Enter
Every visitor to FenceX 2025 will automatically be entered into the prize draw when they leave their name badge and lanyard in the prize bucket as they leave the event. The winner will be announced at the UK Fencing Awards in November.
Pete Clark, CEO of the Association of Fencing Industries (AFI), said:
“We’re delighted to be able to offer such a fantastic prize to our visitors. FenceX has always been about celebrating innovation in fencing, and thanks to Locinox, one lucky winner will see that innovation in action while enjoying a wonderful weekend away. It’s just one more reason not to miss FenceX 2025.”

With more than 80 exhibitors, the UK’s largest-ever destruction testing schedule, a dedicated Gate Automation Zone, and the return of the AFI & AFA Best Practice Day, FenceX 2025 is already shaping up to be the must-attend event of the year.
