This seems like the best place to ask on the forum

I have gone to study at the university of Kent in Canterbury, and this has Sadly meant I have had to leave all of my Blacksmith work at home in Bristol. Luckily, the local living History group has had need of a smith, and are even building their own replica medieval smithy at the living history village under construction at Wychurst.

I want to get involved in this project, and am hoping to meet smiths in the local area who I could chat shop with, and hopefully get some contacts going.

I would greatly appreciate being introduced to anyone working in the Canterbury area.

Thanks in advance!

Sorry Matt, I'm not much help but have you tried the BABA website for members near Canterbury?

BABA - British Artist Blacksmiths Association



and give google a try for blacksmiths in the area.


Also try the Blacksmiths Guild for members in and around Canterbury.

Blacksmiths Guild Home

I hope you find something that fits the bill soon.

You could try the list of blacksmiths at BaseTemplate

Thanks very much for the links, guys.
