Shield Crafting 2 day
Ever wanted to craft your very own genuine battle-ready shield? This is the experience for you!🛡️
Service Description
Whether you're re-enacting Vikings or Romans, living out your fantasy life, or just enjoy crafting awesome things, this weekend promises to be an experience you'll never forget - and you'll take home an epic shield to prove it!🛡️ Situated in a carefully managed woodland slice of heaven, we will closely guide you through all the main steps in crafting your own battle-ready shield⚒️ Starting with the raw materials, you'll build your shield up to a rectangle or round shape, then move on to further shaping it how you want. Next, you'll carve out your handle and shape your boss (the concave metal circle in the centre), fix them to your shield, and apply the finishing touches - all in a weekend!✨ Alongside the workshop you can enjoy the serene wilderness that surrounds us, relax by the campfire (subject to weather conditions), and if you'd rather sleep under the stars then you can camp out with us too! The sessions will run from 9am-5pm both days, and our experienced team will be on-hand throughout the evening and early morning for any extra guidance or support. We have a very hands-on approach for our participants' learning, ensuring you will acquire as much skill as you are able through practice and development🪚 Included in the price is hot tea/coffee and a campfire cooked lunch on the Saturday and Sunday. The menu will include one meat option and one vegetarian option only, if it does not suit your diet then please bring your own lunch. Ages 8+, all under-16s must be accompanied by an adult. Guardians and carers go free unless wanting their own set of materials and lunch. Bring your own camping setup if you plan to camp. More details sent closer to time.

Cancellation Policy
To cancel a booking, please contact us. Cancellations done within two weeks before the experience will not be refunded. All other cancellations will be partially refunded. For rescheduling a booking, please contact us. Rescheduling done within 24 hours of a booking will be charged an administration fee of £20 per person. SylvanKin's very last resort is postponing a session and the decision is never made lightly. However, in the very rare event where SylvanKin must postpone a session, attendees will be notified as soon as possible with a valid reason and provided the opportunity to choose from alternative available dates, of which there will always be multiple available. These will not be refunded, unless you are genuinely unable make any of the available dates, as SylvanKin does not cancel events - the event will still happen even if postponed. Due to the nature of working with the community and regularly outdoors, factors beyond SylvanKin's control may impact our ability to run a session on specific dates leading to postponement, which SylvanKin will notify you of as soon as possible, and will provide you with as many reasonable options to re-schedule as SylvanKin is able to provide.
