Your day begins with a warm welcome and a comprehensive safety briefing before heading into the forge. Your instructor will demonstrate each stage of the process, from choosing your design and punching the centre hole to drifting, shaping, grinding, polishing, and adding the final finish. With expert guidance throughout, you’ll gain an insight into traditional metalworking techniques and leave with a handcrafted stainless steel ring you’ll be proud to wear.

Make a day of your visit and enjoy everything Oldfield Forge has to offer. Our brand-new café is the perfect place to relax before, during or after your experience, serving freshly prepared refreshments, delicious locally sourced Herefordshire food, homemade cakes and traditional afternoon teas.

Friends and family are always welcome, whether they’d like to watch the action from nearby, unwind in the café or enjoy the peaceful surroundings of our woodland seating area. With children’s games, a dedicated play area and plenty of space to relax, it’s the perfect place for visitors of all ages.

Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, meeting up with family or simply enjoying a great day out in the Herefordshire countryside, our café offers the perfect place to eat, relax and make even more memories together.

Our Ring Making for One experience is a full-day, hands-on workshop where you’ll create your own stainless steel ring from start to finish. Guided by an experienced instructor, you’ll learn traditional ring-making techniques as you transform a simple steel blank into a beautifully finished piece that’s uniquely yours. No previous experience is needed, making it perfect for complete beginners.

Please wear long trousers and sturdy, closed-toe footwear suitable for a workshop environment. We recommend comfortable clothing that you don’t mind getting a little dusty, and long hair should be tied back where appropriate. We’ll provide everything else, including all tools, materials, and PPE.

The workshop lasts a full day and includes expert tuition, all materials, professional workshop equipment, and PPE. The experience costs £185 for one person, and you’ll take home the handcrafted stainless steel ring you create during the day. Gift vouchers are also available, valid for 18 months, and can be redeemed 7 days a week either 9am-4pm or 1-7pm

This experience is designed for complete beginners and is perfect for anyone looking to learn a new skill or enjoy a unique creative day out. Whether you’re making a meaningful keepsake, a wedding or commitment band, or simply trying something different, you’ll be guided every step of the way. Participants should be comfortable standing for periods of time and using hand tools under supervision.
