Four people can participate in the course.
Blacksmithing is a physically demanding job. Every applicant will have to take into consideration that they will be on their feet for the duration, working with metal and swinging a hefty hammer for the majority of their time.
Applicants with medical conditions such as bad backs, heart conditions or joint pain are strongly advised not to participate in an all day session.
For the introductory session, participants must be aged seven or over (accompanied by an adult). Participants in the half or full day sessions must be aged 13 or over.
Participants must be able to attend Chain Bridge Forge in High Street, Spalding, Lincs, PE11 1TX
