EASTNOR Forge will be lighting the fire pit and welcoming visitors from the winter cold again, this Christmas.

Artist blacksmith, Andrew Findlay will reveal the seldom-glimpsed secrets of his craft at a Christmas open weekend on Saturday December 20 and Sunday December 21.

The open days are becoming something of an festive tradition for Mr Findlay, who has opened his forge in this manner for several years in a row.

From 10am to 5pm each day, he will give forging demonstrations to all-comers, and his mini gallery will be open showing a selection of artistic forged

metalwork, including fire irons, water lily bronze bowls, hooks, keyrings and candlesticks,garden sculptures and ornaments.
