Customer Reviews
This was the best introduction to forging I could have asked for. Given to me as a gift, and I'm super grateful for the experience. Matt made sure that I was using the right techniques at all times, and helped put things right when it didn't go exactly as planned. I'm very happy with my end products and my new appreciation for the hard work that goes into making them. Every step was explained, and demonstrated first. All the knowledge you need to understand why you're taking the steps you are, was passed on freely.
Matt even brought his gf and pooch along to make sure as a lone female, there was no discomfort. Although I'd have definitely felt comfortable alone with him anyway. Thank you for all the cups of tea/coffee and the company!!so thoughtful. Fantastic experience!
Ordered this for a friend and the option of choosing the date at a later time is great option. Straight-forward to do order and the instructions sent after ordering are nice and simple as well as a way to gift the experience without showing the price of it.
This was a birthday present from my wife and I has the best day. It was a great introduction to the many and varied blacksmithing techniques and Matt was a patient and informative teacher. I had the choice to make what I wanted and opted for the items that allowed me to try the greater range of techniques.
Enjoyed it so much that I'm planning on booking another day in a few months time when Matt moves to his new premises. Thank you so much again.
I highly recommend Heakley Hall Forge if you want to have a go at blacksmithing. Having wanted to try it for a long time, finding somewhere that gave one to one tuition really sold it for me. Matt is a great tutor, very patient, and will personalise the experience if there's something specific you want to try. There's a good chance I'll be booking again! Thank you.
Had the very best day...15.03.2024, my other half brought a Blacksmith experience day...Matt your guidance, support and patience was fabulous. I made a beautiful flower and hook. Would highly recommend this experience to anyone 10/10. Definitely want to come back very soon. Thank you again
