Blacksmith Experience Day

Details

Looking for a unique, hands-on experience? Step into the heat and try your hand at traditional blacksmithing in our working forge. Perfect for beginners or anyone curious about the craft, this experience is designed to be safe, fun, and memorable. What to Expect: We begin at 10:00 with a brief health and safety introduction to ensure everyone feels confident and safe in the forge environment. Then it’s time to get the fire going. Throughout the day, you'll learn how to heat, shape, and form steel using traditional blacksmithing techniques. While we don’t offer knife or weapon making, you’ll create your own unique forged items, and everything you make is yours to take home. We will take a lunch break halfway through the session. You’re welcome to bring your own lunch, or there’s a corner shop just a five-minute walk from the forge. The day wraps up around 15:00. What’s Included: All materials, tools, and PPE (personal protective equipment) are provided. Tea, coffee, and water are available throughout the day, including the signature Blacksmith Tea. What to Wear: Please wear sturdy shoes or boots (no sandals) and old clothing, ideally cotton-based. Avoid fleeces, synthetic fabrics, and loose clothing for safety reasons. A Few Important Notes: This is a hands-on experience in a working forge, so respect and responsibility are essential. Anyone behaving unsafely or irresponsibly will be asked to leave, and no refund will be given. There are no bathroom facilities at the forge, but a hand-washing station is available. Each session is limited to a maximum of two people to ensure a focused and personal experience. Book your place today and step into the world of traditional blacksmithing.
