Fantastic experience, time well spent

2 years ago

What a fantastic experience! We booked a sword-making two-hour course for my son's 18th birthday and spent two wonderful days learning new skills, working together, and generally enjoying heating up and bashing steel. The staff was all incredibly friendly and helpful and a particular shout out to Ben who guided us through deciding what type of sword to make, and through to how to finish it. Can't wait to have another go!

Great day out at the Forge. This was a postponed birthday gift for my partner who absolutely loved it. The guys Joe, Alec, and Gordon were so friendly and helpful, and special thanks to Will and all his help with the scroll knives we made. Would thoroughly recommend it as a really different experience!

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

Amazing experience making a sword with my 9-year-old son. The staff were brilliant and lasting memories were made, and my son already wants to return! Thank you
