North Somerset Show Blacksmiths competition

[John B]

Bank Holiday Mondat is the North Somerset Show at Wraxall near Bristol, 

There will be static and live forging competitions with the winners gaining points towards the National Champion  Blacksmith Competition, and some of the Best UK 'smiths will be there.

The live competition will be judged by Hector Cole, and the theme is something related to a nursery rhyme, ....so that should be edificating to say the least.

Come along and enjoy if you are able.

Next show is the Devon County Show May 18, 19, 20.

Here are some pieces from last years shows

I saw this and thought that it was close to me, Somerset, Ky Bristol, Va. and Tn. I saw this and was ready to drive over.  I finally figured out that it is across the pond so a bit far for a weekend trip.

Hope they let the Bovine statue rust red!

Hi Thomas, sadly because of the location being very near to the coast, client had it with a galvanised finish.
