Forge your metalworking skills together with this unique blacksmithing gift voucher for two in the heart of Kent. Hosted by award-winning blacksmith Michael, this full-day experience gives you both the chance to step inside a traditional forge and learn the ancient craft of blacksmithing through hands-on tuition. Located just outside the Kentish village of Horsmonden, Michael’s fully equipped workshop is the ideal setting for an authentic day at the forge. Using both traditional and contemporary techniques, he has created everything from iron gates for the Houses of Parliament to striking balconies for modern barn conversions. Passionate about teaching, Michael welcomes students from across Kent, Sussex and beyond to learn the basics of this fascinating craft. To ensure plenty of personal guidance, class sizes are limited to just four participants, making this a relaxed and immersive experience for two. Throughout the day, you will both work with professional blacksmithing tools, including the forge, anvil and hand tools, while learning essential techniques for shaping molten metal. With Michael’s expert support, you will create three handcrafted pieces between you, including a key fob, fire poker and decorative hook. By the end of your blacksmithing course in Kent, you’ll leave with new skills, handmade creations to take home and memories of a truly rewarding day out together. Suitable for ages 16 and over, this experience makes a fantastic gift for couples, friends or family members looking to try something different.

An excellent day. There was much more than I expected and the skills of Michael were astounding. He is a great teacher and very patient. Also made a great lunch which was totally unexpected. I have tried to upload a photo but it is not allowing it.

Brilliant day. Highly recommended.

Reviewed by: Daniel

This experience was amazing Mike the instructor was fabulous, really talented and very patient helped you out however much you needed. I was lucky and got to experience using both the traditional coal forge and the gas forge. What was great and in my opinion better than some other experiences is that everything you made you got to take away at the end of the day with you. Definitely worth doing if you have any interest it really was a full day and great funJust FYI, in case youre concerned Im a smallish woman and could do absolutely everything, no problem at allThanks Mike for a fab day and all I absolutely love everything I made

Had the most fantastic day as a trainee blacksmith. Four of us on the experience, myself the only lady with probably the least experience of using a hammer but was made very welcome and never felt patronized. By the end of a very tiring but most enjoyable day I came home with a coat hook I was proud of, a very serviceable poker and an interesting leaf key fob. Would well.recommend.

Fantastic experience day. Since I was very young I had alway wanted to have a go at blacksmithing and for once my wife listened to my general ramblings and brought me this experience. Michael was welcoming and explained all the steps in detail, he was knowledgeable and answered any questions from the group in way we could all understand. He was patient and made sure the four of us were enjoying the day throughout. I would highly recommend this experience day.
