Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need any previous welding experience?
Not at all. Our welding experiences are suitable for complete beginners as well as those with some previous experience. Every session is delivered on a one-to-one basis (or as a pair if booked together), allowing us to tailor the day to your individual ability and confidence.
What should I wear?
Please wear old clothing that you don’t mind getting a little dirty, along with sturdy leather shoes or boots if possible. We provide all the necessary personal protective equipment (PPE), including welding helmets, gloves and protective clothing where required.
What’s included?
Everything you need is included in the price of your welding experience. We’ll provide all materials, equipment, safety equipment and expert one-to-one tuition. All you need to bring is your enthusiasm to learn!
What age do I need to be?
The minimum age can vary depending on the type of welding experience and the individual participant. Please get in touch before booking, and we’ll be happy to discuss the most suitable option.
Can I buy a welding experience gift voucher?
Absolutely. Our welding experience gift vouchers make a unique and memorable present for birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas or any special occasion. Vouchers can be purchased throughout the year and used to book one of our welding experiences, including experiences taking place in 2027.
Can two people book together?
Absolutely. If you’d like to enjoy the experience with a friend, partner or family member, we can arrange for two people to attend together. Please contact us before booking so we can discuss the available options.
Will I take home what I make?
Yes. One of the best parts of the experience is leaving with something you’ve created yourself. You’ll take home your finished handcrafted project as a lasting reminder of your day in the workshop and the new skills you’ve learned.
Is there parking?
Yes. Free parking is available at our workshop on the beautiful Staunton Harold Estate, just a short walk from the workshop.
