The Vanguard Centre

The Vanguard Centre is Glasgow’s premiere home of dangerous historical entertainment in a sketchy concrete tunnel – we teach indoor archery and historical swordfighting 7 days a week! Founded in 2015, we have made it our mission to bring historical skills, the joy of alternative sports, and the satisfaction of recreational simulated violence to all kinds of people over the years. If you want to be the historical rogue or adventurer of your fantasies, challenge yourself with a new and never-ending pursuit of mastery, make friends and play with like-minded people, or just want a different way of getting some exercise and getting out of the house; our team of knowledgeable instructors and training hall full of the coolest grown-up toys are waiting for you!
