Dagger making for two in the blacksmith's forge
Description
Time to get your hands dirty and let the sparks fly as you make your very own dagger! Morning and Afternoon sessions are available. Discover the untold secrets of the art of blacksmithing at Oldfield Forge. Set in the very heart of the Herefordshire countryside our expert blacksmiths will guide you through each stage. Work as a team to make your very own dagger or small sword. This gift experience allows (almost) everyone to participate – from the intrigued novice right through to those with some existing proficiency, and enables them to test their metal-working skills. Children from the age of 7 years can fulfil their dream of making their very own medieval or family crest dagger. This is much more than your normal experience day! You can see, touch, smell and experience the life of a blacksmith, taking home whatever you make with us. Be sure to dress appropriately, remembering that in the colder months it can get chilly inside the workshop (despite the fires!) We will be here to meet you on arrival where we will get all of the boring (but essential) bits out of the way. Please bring the completed Health and Safety forms with you, it’s vital they are completed prior to your visit so that you are ready to start your day as soon as you arrive. If you prefer you can always email them to us prior to arrival. Excited? Lose yourself in an experience unlike any other … and we’re sure you will want to come back for more.
