The Experience

This Spear or Javelin Making Blacksmith Experience is perfect for anyone who loves history, craftsmanship or just trying something completely different. 

Step back in time and learn how to forge an early medieval-style spear or javelin using traditional blacksmithing techniques. Under expert guidance, participants will be shown each stage of the process, from heating and shaping hot steel to finishing their very own spear or javelin to take home. It’s a brilliant experience for fans of historical re-enactment too, with the option to tailor your creation to suit your period or combat regulations.

Working closely in small groups, you’ll learn how to master the traditional smith and striker techniques. It’s a proper workout for the arms, but incredibly rewarding as you watch raw metal transform into something powerful and personal.

No experience is required, everything is provided, from safety gear like glasses and aprons to all the tools and materials. As long as you're over 18 and ready to get stuck in, you’ll be made welcome.

And if the weather’s on your side, there might even be a chance to test your handiwork when the day’s forging is done!

Ideal for individuals, pairs or small groups, this blacksmith experience makes an excellent gift for history lovers, metalworking enthusiasts, or anyone who fancies stepping out of their comfort zone and into the forge.
