Following an action
In a working smithy, the sequence of actions is an important part of the explanation. Ask when work or demonstrations are actually taking place if that is specifically why you are coming.
Tools in their setting
A tool becomes easier to understand when you see it at the workplace. Ask for unfamiliar functions to be explained, and follow the smith's instructions during demonstrations.
Looking further upstairs
The attic display focuses on the farrier's craft. It can complement the workshop visit, but has different accessibility than a brief look at the space downstairs.
Before you go
The venue is described as having limited accessibility, with a museum in the attic. Discuss your needs in advance; groups and courses require a separate appointment.
