FORGE STUDIO
Welcome
We are a canal side shop selling waterways related gifts, some of which are hand painted and can be personalised to order.
Snacks & drinks are available which can be enjoyed on our outdoor seating area overlooking the Worcester & Birmingham Canal at Dunhampstead Wharf.
Cafe Boat Update January 2026
The Café Boat Patricia was purpose built so we could offer a broader experience to our already successful Forge Studio business. We have been running cruises since May 2022.
Over the past four years it's popularity has grown year on year and has become really busy.
All of this growth has been created by word of mouth from happy customers to their friends and families, which we really appreciated, and still do.
However, as much as we have enjoyed this venture and meeting so many lovely people we have made a decision that we are going to sell the boat and business.
Our reason for selling is simple, we want to retire without any ties.
It is for this reason we are not taking any bookings for the 2026 season.
We would like to take this opportunity to say a massive THANK YOU to all of you who have cruised with us.
Your support over the past four years has been invaluable.
With our very best wishes
Andy & Caroline
