Redlands Coast Museum: Blacksmith Demonstrations - AdventureFest
As part of Redlands Coast Museum's 2026 AdventureFest celebrations, don't forget to drop by the Blacksmith's shed for live demonstrations.
The blacksmith's shop is a 1870s split slab hut originally from Mt Cotton. For many years it was the home of brothers Bob and Herman Holzapfel.
In 1972 it was dismantled and rebuilt at the Redlands Coast Museum, and is still in use.
Come and watch the fires heat the metal, and the glowing iron being transformed into intricate and beautiful items such as poppies and planters, or useful household items such as side tables.
An engaging celebration of craftsmanship, creativity and heritage for all ages.
