Get ready for an unforgettable experience in Banagher! We’re thrilled to announce a one-of-a-kind event that’s sure to leave you in awe.

A highlight of the festival this year will be Banagher’s first Fire Festival, where Forged in Ireland and the Furnace Festival merge to share some amazing blacksmithing and smelting skills with the public. Up to 40 blacksmiths will come to Banagher on Saturday and Sunday, providing a series of demonstrations and competitions of various aspects of their craft under the banner Forged in Ireland.

Iron smelting workshops and demonstrations will also be held over the weekend, alongside the blacksmithing events. Jens Jørgen Olesen from Denmark and Kamila Brodowka from Poland, two of the best in Europe, will deliver the smelting workshops. The public will have the opportunity to experience the demonstrations and take part in the workshops themselves.
