Booking questions

What if none of the dates suit me?

Get in touch and I may be able to add a date for you, especially for small groups.

How many people are in each session?

A maximum of six, so everyone gets real time at the anvil.

Do I need any experience?

No. Beginners are welcome, and if you can swing a hammer, you can make it. The minimum age is 11.

What time do the days run?

Days start at 10:30am. Blacksmithing days finish at 4:30pm; knife making days finish between 5pm and 6:30pm.

Can I buy a day as a gift?

Yes. Gift vouchers are valid for a year, so the recipient picks a date that suits them.
