March 5, 201412 yr Author Is there a program available so i can find out what master classes and events are happening at what day/time? thanks Not yet, we are trying to arrange it so the maximum number of people can benefit from the experience All details will be posted to the website as soon as relevant information is received and can be seen at http://www.internationalblacksmithsfest.com/ Some Masterclasses will be inside a marquee and may be repeated each day, these will be the ones that will need to be booked in for, Others will be open to all due to the situation, ie bonfire for tyre bonding is not ideal inside. The iron smelt will be done over a number of days, casting will be done every day, There will also be trade stands and groups where demonstrations will be taking place. There will be something going on each and every day that will be well worth attending for. For the demonstrators, traders and those booking in for the whole four days there will be a post show hoolie and hog roast on the last evening after the public have left.
March 21, 201412 yr Brutal honesty time: I've an expensive couple of months coming up with car tax and a few other big bills. Is there a time limit on buying the VIP tickets? I don't want to miss out for the sake of switching some cash around at the bank... All the best Andy

All the best Andy No time limit, this side of the event would be good, sooner the better from our point of view so we can cater for camping and numbers etc.
March 28, 201412 yr I just saw this, John. We're looking forward to it, and I look forward to meeting with all of you!
April 1, 201412 yr No time limit, this side of the event would be good, sooner the better from our point of view so we can cater for camping and numbers etc. Cheers John. I'll be buying a ticket in the next couple of weeks once I've everything squared away. All the best Andy
April 6, 201412 yr I'll be doing everything a 16 year old Icelandic dude who beats metal can to go there, don't wanna miss out on something like that
April 10, 201412 yr no flyers or posters for this event yet? I did ask before the last event I attended ( by email ) but got no reply, I am at another event this weekend where I could help publicize it if you wanted. the event a few weeks ago was 'The original reenactors market' held twice a year near coventry, this weekends event it the 'international living history fair' held at bruntingthorpe near lutterworth, I am happy to put up a small poster advertising this and give out flyers. most I have talked to had not heard of it before
April 10, 201412 yr Author Will email you Dave, not time to post any on, and still working on an updated poster, but can send you a pdf if you can print them off? website is www.internationalblacksmithsfest.com
April 10, 201412 yr yup, send a pdf and I will print it tomorrow when I get back. set up day today, open fri, sat and sunday if I dont get it I will make one myself tomorrow
July 1, 201412 yr still no flyers here, soon I will be at tewkesbury medieval festival which would be a good place to publisize it, I go a week on friday so still time to get some to me. I will take the poster I got from the website and a couple of booking forms I printed out. am getting things ready to bring to your event
July 1, 201412 yr is there a student discount? Is there a poor Newbie across-the-pond who would love to come discount? What a great sounding event, I'm terribly jealous!

Bring your stuff and any spare items to sell in the bring and buy section, labelled with price and whose they are. Looking good, starting to finalise site positions etc at the moment, looking forward to meeting you.
July 1, 201412 yr Author Is there a poor Newbie across-the-pond who would love to come discount? What a great sounding event, I'm terribly jealous! Spanky, you get here, and I'll stake you to a VIP Ticket! Can't do better than that I am afraid.
July 2, 201412 yr I've been chatting to John about the bring and buy section, it sounds like it will be great for everyone. So in the most selfish post every, I'd like it known to all and sundry that I'm after an anvil like the one pictured here: '> The big and mint is ideal obviously. Brooks, Peter Wright and Wilkinsons are some brands I can think of that do that pattern. I might be swayed by the more common double horn with the slightly raised face. make it known to everyone you know to be attending to bring their unwanted gear to the event. All the best Andy
July 2, 201412 yr I could certainly be tempted if the price was right. But it's the double horn I'm after really. I reckon I've got just enough space for 3cwt but a 4cwt monster might be stretching it a bit. 2-3cwt brooks double horn would be ideal. Realistically the more items that are taken to the bring and buy the better. All the best Andy
July 3, 201412 yr flyers arrived, one will be in each suitable parcel I send out and will be at events I go to. this sunday an autojumble ar newark and next weekend at tewkesbury medieval festival, more after that.
July 3, 201412 yr i hope I'm not being an idiot but there appears to be no student discount on the website. There is a group discount and an option to put in a promo code when buying the ticket, is that what you were referring to?
July 3, 201412 yr What sort of accommodations are available and at what sort of cost? I don't wish to seem Scrooge like, but for us poor folk from the colonies it's quite relevant?Ian
July 3, 201412 yr you can camp on site, probably best to buy a cheap tent here and minimum kit for just a few pounds, in the past have seen 2 person tent, air beds and 2 sleeping bags for 30 uk pounds and unlike some parts of the world we dont have much wildlife that will attack you ;)
July 3, 201412 yr Author i hope I'm not being an idiot but there appears to be no student discount on the website. There is a group discount and an option to put in a promo code when buying the ticket, is that what you were referring to? Discount for students is 10% on production of membership card at entry, not available on line as we have no easy means of checking validity via website. Promo code is a standard item on website package we are not in this instance using as I am led to understand how it works, it is not in my domain. Hammer and spanner, I am ok, Buttons and ether, It's a mystery! Sorry
