Blacksmithing for Solo Visitors

My son and I made a dagger each at this lovely place in the Herefordshire hills. The instructors were all outstanding and patient and between them, they made it a fun experience. It's hardworking but the reward really is worth it. Very highly recommended

Well, I cannot recommend this place enough. What an experience the sword making over 2 days was. It was so hands-on and so intricate that I felt like I was a genuine blacksmith. I especially enjoyed Lugar the Orc Smith who helped me forge my sword. Definitely worth every penny for an experience and obviously getting to keep your sword after. Thanks so much, Oldfield Forge, I will certainly be returning to make something else.

Thank you for such an amazing experience with the academy that will stay with us forever. We weren't really sure what to expect at first but Ben really put us at ease. You can really tell that this is such a passion for all of the tutors, it just shines through. The fact that you let us find our stride and just go for it gave us such confidence and someone was always on hand for support. We're really proud of what we achieved together, and our 'cabbage' flower will be having pride of place in our home.

Neither of us had ever done anything like this before and yet we have come away with beautiful matching rings which are all the more special because we made them for each other. Your staff are excellent teachers, blending humor and patience with just the right level of support and tuition to enable us to develop new skills and gain so much satisfaction from the different processes. We enjoyed this so much we are sending you our daughter and son-in-law to make a sword in the summer. Thank you again, especially Joe and Ben for making this such a memorable experience.
