An Amazing Weekend Experience

I had an incredible weekend. The guidance from the instructors was exceptional, showcasing their expertise. I successfully crafted a bow, strung it, and tested it within the two days (just barely!). I will certainly be signing up for another course.

An outstanding experience from beginning to end

I participated in an axe-forging workshop last weekend, and it was truly amazing. The facilitators were exceptional — knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely enthusiastic about their craft. They fostered a relaxed and inviting atmosphere, making the entire experience both accessible and motivating. Their guidance was excellent, striking a balance between safety and the opportunity to fully engage in the process. I learned a lot, had a great time, and left with something I’m genuinely proud of. It's clear they care deeply about what they do, and that enthusiasm is contagious. If you've ever been curious about blacksmithing or just want a memorable day doing something unique, I highly recommend this workshop. Huge thanks for an unforgettable experience. I will definitely return!

Amazing axe-making weekend

I gifted my fiancé a two-day axe-forging experience for Christmas, and we had a fantastic weekend. Although I wasn't part of the course, I accompanied my partner and had a great time. The facilitators were friendly, accommodating, and very knowledgeable. I spent the day enjoying the warmth of the fire, chatting with them and other participants. Everyone made me feel very welcome. It was a lovely escape into nature, so peaceful. My partner thoroughly enjoyed both days, feeling a great sense of achievement with his creation. I’m now inspired to buy a fire pit and a cast iron pot because that stew was the best. I will definitely return for more activities!

A fantastic experience for my partner

I arranged this for my partner and watched, and it was an absolutely incredible experience to be part of. Even as an observer, I learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed my time with the team. ❤️ Highly recommended!

Fantastic bow crafting experience

A delightful time in the woods

I had a magical experience in the woods, crafting bows from blocks of wood! One of the facilitators prepared a marvelous stew while we focused on measuring and shaping our weapons, always available to guide us through the intricacies of the craft. It was a great course, with excellent teaching, and I truly enjoyed two days among the trees with an interesting group of people I wouldn’t have met otherwise. A fantastic weekend overall - thank you so much!

Bow crafting and camping adventure

I recently attended a two-day bow-making course and chose to camp on-site. The course was well-structured, with clear instruction on crafting our bows, reflecting real experience rather than just theory, creating a great atmosphere. One of the staff guided me from the main road to the site on a rainy Friday night, providing a thorough walk-around. The woodland setting was perfect for back-to-basics camping, a simple slice of nature close to home. I’m already on the lookout for good timber to craft my next bow, and I plan to return for more courses. Thank you!

A weekend dedicated to longbow making

I spent the weekend crafting a longbow. It was my first time doing anything like this, and with excellent guidance throughout the weekend, I came away with a usable longbow with a respectable draw weight. It’s physically demanding but incredibly rewarding. I would highly recommend this activity.

10/10 Bow crafting experience with valuable skills

I had an amazing weekend bow crafting. I genuinely feel like I've acquired the skills to do it again on my own time, and I had so much fun that I’m definitely going to try! Both facilitators were friendly and took the time to ensure we understood the process, offering help when needed. They went the extra mile, even staying late to assist with a car issue we had after bumping the woodland trail. I can't forget to mention the delicious stew for lunch both days. Overall, I had a fantastic weekend and would definitely return for the longbow workshop or perhaps to try making a shield or axe.
