Sandhurst Farm Forge

Charles is a professional Artist Blacksmith with over 50 years of experience. Still using his traditional skills and tools, smokeless fuel coke fire and anvil, he produces high quality hand forged functional and artistic pieces using Mild Steel. His recent works however have incorporated the use of other metals such as copper as well as mediums such as ceramics, marble and Tadcaster Limestone.

There is plenty of Parking on site. Opening Times are: Tuesday to Friday 9am -5pm and Sat Mornings 9am -12 noon. Forging Taster Sessions - Over the last few years Charles has been offering taster sessions at the Anvil. They are usually two-hour sessions at a cost of £50.00. All safety equipment is provided for your use on the day including apron, gloves and eye goggles. We do however ask that you wear a stout pair of covered shoes. Walking Boots are ideal. Stay with us: To relax from the concentration of your forging lesson, why not make a two/three day visit of it and stay overnight in our self-catering stable block, while at the same time enjoying some of our Mid Kent Downs Scenery, and walk the Syndale Valley Walk, or visit our Market Town of Faversham. We have two good pubs within 1 mile of us to provide you with a fantastic evening or lunchtime meal, or use the car to go a little further.
