The perfect introduction to blacksmithing. Spend a full day at the anvil working with hot steel, sparks and fire — guided every step of the way by William and the Phoenix Forge team. Over the day you will produce a range of items to take home: hooks, a letter opener, a fire poker, key rings and more. No experience needed. Just enthusiasm.

This is one of our most popular classes for a reason. It is fun, accessible and genuinely memorable — whether you are booking for yourself, as a gift, or bringing a group. Our stag and hen parties consistently rate it as the best activity of the weekend.
