Immerse yourself in the world of blacksmithing at Oldfield Forge, where you'll join a team of skilled blacksmiths to create your own bespoke iron piece. This unforgettable experience will educate you on the age-old traditions and methods of blacksmithing that are being kept alive at this charming and picturesque forge. Nestled in the heart of the West Herefordshire countryside, Oldfield Forge is surrounded by stunning wildflower meadows and woodlands. With little shepherding huts to relax in while the children play outside, it's the perfect setting to escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The sound of metal on metal can be heard throughout the forge as the skilled blacksmiths work tirelessly to produce everything from latches, stays, bells, and tie-backs to bespoke designed and forged gates and furniture. This forge is renowned for producing high-quality practical and artistic ironwork, both contemporary and classic. It has worked on historical and ecclesiastical buildings looked after by the National Trust, English Heritage, and Cdaw in Wales. You'll be amazed watching the blacksmiths at work as they heat the iron to a red hot, then twist, bend, and cut it to create the most intricate and fascinating shapes. But you won't just be watching - you'll be learning hands-on from the Herefordshire blacksmiths how to create your very own bespoke iron piece. This is an opportunity to expand your knowledge and skills in blacksmithing while creating a one-of-a-kind piece that you can take home with you. Don't miss the chance to be a part of this unique and unforgettable experience at Oldfield Forge.

I received this experience as a present from my kids. In the past I have had this type of thing which turned out to be dreadful. However this company was very good. The administration was easy and the experience was fantastic. I would recommend.

Had a great day out with my brother, we did a taster session and it was surprising what we managed to make with in the time. I made a fire tool, my brother made a knife. The guys there were really friendly , and I wouldnt hesitate to go back or to recommend Oldfield forge to anyone.
