We got the chance to take our 11yo twin boys for a 1/2 day at Oldfield Forge. Ethan and the young guys who looked after the boys were really great; just the right amount of guidance and allowed them to get on with stuff. They were buzzing about completing a piece each. Highly recommend!

I did a couple's day with my girlfriend, and we built a door knocker. They worked with our creativity to build a custom piece that meant so much more than one of the standard pieces. I've gone back to them to do Christmas shopping, and they worked with me to find the best price for some gifts. They are all very friendly and helpful, and I couldn't complain about them if I tried!
