This extended session gives you the freedom to create larger, more decorative pieces, allowing extra time to refine your design and craft something truly special for your home or garden. During your Five-Hour Garden Experience, you’ll have the time and freedom to create slightly larger and more intricate projects. Choose from charming options such as:

A decorative bird feeder
-
A striking poppy sculpture

Wind Chime

A delicate hummingbird sculpture

Children under the age of 16 years old must be accompanied by an adult at all times. (The timings provided are approximate and may vary based on the customer’s capabilities and the specific design requirements)
We welcome groups of friends to come and take part together , simply adjust the number of people when making your booking.
If you’re buying a voucher, the voucher will entitle the recipient to a three-hour ‘Garden Making’ session.
Be sure to dress accordingly, remembering that in the colder months it can get pretty chilly inside the workshop, despite the fires! Please wear long trousers and suitable footwear.
Make sure you follow the guidance on our website and what’s sent to you ahead of the event. And always listen to the instructions of our expert team on the day.
1 When you arrive
On arrival, you’ll be signed in and introduced to the smith who will talk through the course step-by-step and help you select which design you would like to make. We’ll discuss what you want to achieve for the day before providing you with protective equipment and a safety briefing.
2 Firing up the forge
The forge will have been lit and heating up before you arrive, so it’s ready to go! You will get an introduction on how to control and maintain the fire of the forge to a forging heat.
3 Selecting what to forge
Forging isn’t as easy as it may look! Our expert team will work with you to help you decide what to make during the session, by showing you examples of what can be achieved in the time. You’ll be given the flexibility to stamp your own design on your piece, making it totally unique to you! You can see the list of possible options on our ‘before your visit’ guide!
4 Learn a range of techniques
Each piece offers its own range of techniques, and some provide more learning opportunities than others. If your goal is to develop a wider set of techniques rather than focus on completing a specific piece, please speak to the team.
5 Photo Time
It’s great fun working alongside one another and crafting something unique! Once the forging is complete, it’s time to pose for those all-important photos at our wooden stage!
