Give-it-a-go Blacksmithing Sessions - Nov 2025

We're throwing a little party to officially open this year's Blacksmith Festival collaborative project, The Contemplative Chair, and welcome you back to explore the world of Blacksmithing with our Give It A Go Workshops.

This is the most popular activity at our biennial festival and offers complete beginners (12yrs old and up) to step up to the anvil and forge their own creation under the guidance of skilled blacksmiths.

This is a hands-on, unforgettable experience, feel the heat, swing the hammer and shape red-hot metal into something uniquely yours.

One-on-one guidance from expert blacksmiths

Take home your hand-forged creation as a unique souvenir
