Ferrous Festival

Ferrous Festival 2022. Hereford city centre will once again come alive to the sights and sounds of six hot metal forges as blacksmiths and members of the public gather in High Town to create a stunning new piece of art.

Brought to you by Hereford Business Improvement District and Hereford College of Arts, this year’s festival is packed with exhibitions, talks, film and of course blacksmithing demonstrations and the chance to have a go.

All the safety equipment you need will be provided and the experience is open to those aged 16 years and over.

Further details of what’s on can be found below.

HAVE A GO FORGING

This experience costs £12 per person and includes tuition, use of safety equipment, materials, and a sapling tree to take home. Pre-booking essential.
