The Process

1. Create Your Package

Decide what you want to forge… a sword, knife, or something a little different! Get in touch and we’ll create your package to cater to your experience & group size!

2. Meet Your Expert Blacksmith

On arrival, you’ll be signed in and introduced to the smith who will talk you through the course step-by-step and help you select which design you would like to make.

3. Fire Up The Forges

The forge will have been lit and heating up before you arrive, so it’s ready to go! You will get an introduction on how to control and maintain the fire of the forge to a forging heat.

4. Get Your Team Photo

It’s great fun working alongside one another and crafting something unique! Once the forging is complete, it’s time to pose for those all-important photos at our wooden stage!

5. Take Home an Unforgettable Memory

Take home your forged item to commemorate the day and show all your friends & family. Maybe even cut the cake with your sword or knife!

A FLAWLESS EXPERIENCE I WILL NEVER FORGET!

The Perfect Blacksmithing experience! We went as a stag party of 4 and booked the sword-making experience and it was incredible! The team helps make your ideal sword, from real historical swords to swords from tv shows and films! A big shout out to Bob, Joe, Sam, and Theo, the guys were welcoming incredibly friendly, and funny and they even made the beginning safety announcements entertaining! They demonstrated the processes clearly and guided us through the experience, and at the end of the day, you really felt like one of the team. I couldn’t fault a single thing about the whole business. Thank you so much for an amazing day and I can’t wait to do it again!
