Who is the day suitable for
The day course is aimed as a one to one session, or a two person joint booking, for adults with no previous experience (or attending a follow on day), allowing you to get the most out of your time at the smithy and forge something completely bespoke to you, rather than a set group design. The day is a physical one in a centuries old traditional forge and may not be suitable for everyone. Contact the Malham Smithy if you have any injuries or disabilities before booking. Bookings cannot be taken for people under 18. Larger group bookings may be available on request, however space is very limited in the 200 year old forge. Email courses@malhamsmithyonline.co.uk with details of your party if you are a larger booking and we will advise if you can be accommodated.

When are courses run
Dates can be arranged with Malham Smithy, both weekday and Saturday courses are available. Dates can be booked at the time of purchasing via COURSE BOOKING DATES, or arranged at a later date if buying as a gift. Gift vouchers are valid for 12 months and are available electronically. Dates are released on a rolling six month basis, the sooner the participant books after receiving their certificate, the more choice they will have.
The timing for the day is a 10am start, finishing at 5pm. You will have a break for lunch, good food is available to purchase in the village from The Lister Arms pub, the Old Barn Cafe and Beck Hall (100% plant based), all highly recommended. Alternatively you can bring your own packed lunch to enjoy sat by the scenic beck that runs to the side of the smithy.
