On the day, you'll get a 150mm long piece of 20mm square steel - and the creative world is your oyster! The only rule? No extra material. That's right, no welding bits on - just pure craftsmanship and ingenuity.
Already have a project ready to show off? Awesome! Come down, hang out, and enjoy the craic. We'd love for you to contribute to our nail stump tradition - forge a decorative nail and hammer it in to mark your visit.
Saturday Feast
Fuel your creativity with sandwiches for lunch and a BBQ feast towards the evening.
Sunday Judging
We'll be crowning the most creative 150mm masterpieces with a small prize and, of course, bragging rights until next year!
Parking and Accommodation
Our yard has limited parking, but overnight stays in cars or vans aren't possible. However, there's nearby parking, and Sheila's Hostel in the city is offering dorm rooms for just €40 per night - perfect for sharing with friends!
Forge Setup
We'll have two solid fuel forges, a gas forge, and four anvils ready to go. Want to bring your own gear? Fantastic! Just give us a heads-up so we can coordinate.
IABA Event Details
This is an IABA-supported event, so it's free for members and €10 for non-members to help cover fuel costs.
We're buzzing to see you all - bring your creativity, your tools, and your best forging vibes. Let's make some sparks fly!
