Forging Ahead - Blacksmith Experience

Tucked into the folds of countryside above Stroud, near the hamlet of The Camp, this hands-on forge turns curious visitors into blacksmiths for a day. Under expert guidance you'll feel the heat of the fire, the weight of the hammer and the satisfying give of iron softened to orange. There's real theatre in the sparks and ring of metal, and you leave clutching something you made with your own hands. Immaculately reviewed and warmly personal, it's the kind of experience that rewards the drive out and stays with you long after the coals cool.

A genuine, memory-making craft experience in the Cotswolds that answers every question in the Hunters Standard — you'll travel for it and you'll tell everyone afterwards.
