What happens when you put a load of blacksmiths, makers, fire, steel and questionable amounts of enthusiasm under one roof?
You get Steel Bangers 2026! ⚒️🔥
Forged In Ireland headed to the covered Ennis Market Building for two days of forging demonstrations, traditional crafts and plenty of the usual FII craic.
From nails and belt buckles to knife blades and arrowheads, there was plenty of hot steel flying!
Alongside the forges, visitors could check out a fantastic collection of traditional crafts and makers.
It was a brilliant weekend of making, learning, sharing skills and catching up with old friends – exactly what Forged In Ireland is all about.
🔥 Come for the craft… stay for the craic! ⚒️
A massive thanks to everyone who came along, took part, demonstrated, competed, volunteered and helped make Steel Bangers 2026 such a great weekend.
