A rare chance to see a Master Arrowsmith and Archaeological Ironworker at work! Hector Cole MBE has a world-wide reputation for the forging of high-quality historic arrowheads. His reputation is based on years of blacksmithing experience and he specialises in the reconstruction of archaeological artefacts using the same materials and techniques of the ancient smiths.

Free demonstration in the museum courtyard, weather permitting. Not to be missed! All ages welcome to come and enjoy seeing live blackmithing in action.

If the weather is too wet we’ll move indoors - no forging, but a chance to chat to Hector and see some of his incredible creations and metal artefacts. No need to book, just drop in.
