Situated just on the English side of the border with Wales offering easy access from the motorway and 15 minutes walk from the train station we are perfectly situated to host this amazing event. 

If you would prefer to stay off site, the town of Chepstow is a few minutes walk away with both the scenic Wye Valley and the Forest of Dean on our doorstep.

Our chosen charity for this year is Andysmanclub. This is a fantastic cause and given the recent losses to our martial arts community, and the many people struggling, we feel this is a cause that is incredibly important.

Also having lost my own Father to suicide it is a subject close to my heart.

We hope you feel the same and lend your support in raising some much needed funds for an organisation that is helping people right now.
