Learn How to be a Blacksmith

Our Blacksmith Experience Day takes place in our Victorian forge and is led by an experienced blacksmith. You will learn the skills and basic techniques of the traditional blacksmith and make your own simple hand-forged object to take home. You will be shown how the forge works and will use an anvil, in what will be an extremely enjoyable yet physical experience. No previous experience is necessary.
