About the Experience

NEW FOR 2025!

Step back in time and forge your own piece of history in this full-day workshop at our traditional blacksmith’s forge. Guided by expert blacksmiths, you’ll craft a faithful replica of a Saxon/Viking spearhead inspired by an authentic artifact from our local museum—an incredible piece we’ve had the privilege of handling and measuring first hand.

This immersive experience will teach you traditional blacksmithing techniques as you heat, hammer, and shape raw metal into a stunning historical replica. Perfect for history enthusiasts, craft lovers, and anyone seeking a unique hands-on experience, this workshop is suitable for beginners and experienced smiths alike.

By the end of the day, you’ll not only take home your handcrafted spearhead but also newfound skills and a deeper appreciation for the craftsmanship of the past.

To get the most from this course we would recommend completing one of our Arrow Smithing courses first, both are linked at the bottom of this page
