FAQs

Depending on what you would like to achieve from the workshop you have two options for booking. Our group workshops allow you to experience a great Blacksmithing day alongside like minded people who are also booked onto the same workshop. These workshops can also be booked for groups and parties.

If you are looking for something more focused towards a specific item you would like to make, or learning more in-depth skills our 1-2-1 workshop would be better for you.

You can find us just outside Bakewell in our purpose built Blacksmiths workshop. Find our address here.
