I came here for the dagger making for two experience for my birthday and had a fantastic time. Gordon looked after us for the day and he was hilarious, made sure we were safe, and fixed our dagger any time we messed up (which was fairly often). We were complete novices and we couldn't have had more fun! The whole team were friendly and brilliant - we're extremely happy with our very wonky dagger

My son and I made a dagger each at this lovely place in the Herefordshire hills. The instructors were all outstanding and patient and between them, they made it a fun experience. It's hardworking but the reward really is worth it. Very highly recommended

Neither of us had ever done anything like this before and yet we have come away with beautiful matching rings which are all the more special because we made them for each other. Your staff are excellent teachers, blending humor and patience with just the right level of support and tuition to enable us to develop new skills and gain so much satisfaction from the different processes. We enjoyed this so much we are sending you our daughter and son-in-law to make a sword in the summer. Thank you again, especially Joe and Ben for making this such a memorable experience.
