Blacksmith Experience Day

Great experience

Our son now has confidence in metal forgery and after seeing metalwork items recently, has pointed out that he knows how they are made. Would recommend.

Forge experience in Mercia

This is a proper working forge! Matt is an excellent teacher. He keeps it safe, hands-on, and hugely enjoyable, guiding you one-to-one while letting you hammer away on your forged items. There’s something great about learning this ancient craft in Staffordshire, once the very heartland of Anglo Saxon Mercia. I left with a handmade piece and real respect for how much work even the simplest metal item is when forged using the traditional techniques (can't imagine how long it must take to make a full size sword, given the amount of time a bottle opener took!)

Easy and straightforward

Ordered this for a friend and the option of choosing the date at a later time is great option. Straight-forward to do order and the instructions sent after ordering are nice and simple as well as a way to gift the experience without showing the price of it.
