Whether you're planning a corporate outing, bachelor party, or group day trip, The Forge delivers an experience that feels authentic, memorable, and unlike anything else in Charleston.

Blacksmithing Charleston SC: A Hands-On Forge Experience

Most "fun activities" give you memories and a few photos. The Forge gives you a finished product you can hold in your hand. During your blacksmithing Charleston SC session, you'll learn the basics of shaping hot metal with guidance you can trust. You don't need experience just curiosity and a willingness to try. The result is a challenge that feels safe, structured, and genuinely rewarding.

Guests love seeing what's possible, especially when they get to choose a project that fits the group. The most popular keepsakes are oyster shuckers (perfect for Lowcountry lovers) and blades/knives that feel bold and unforgettable. This is why The Forge has become one of the most unique group activities Charleston SC has to offer because it's interactive, collaborative, and way more meaningful than "just going out."

"This was such a fun adventure. My 12 year old was initially scared, but our guides were fabulous and made her feel at ease. She was flying the trees confidently in no time. My younger two did the koala course at the same time and loved it as well. Since the canopy course over looks much of the koala course, we could watch them zip and even talk to them some. It was great! "
