The 2023 WinterMoot will be held at Rough Close Scout site Nr Coventry so it's a nice central location for most people. Here's some extra info:

Winter Moot - A Festival Of Outdoor Cookery​

A week camping in mid-February may sound mad, but with warm fires, great food and relaxing company, it's always a warm and friendly experience for all.

At the Winter Moot, you will get the opportunity to be as involved as you would like, relax by the fire or get stuck in preparing and cooking alongside experienced outdoor cooks. You can have fun; baking, butchering, roasting, smoking, frying and more. Practice your skills or learn from scratch in a relaxed and friendly environment.



Tickets are available for the whole event or individual days. All tickets include the following**:
Camping: Tents, hammock, tarps, *Campervan
Facilities: Toilets, Showers, Washing up area, Water etc
Firewood: Fires need to be off the ground except in designated areas. You can bring firewood.
Workshops: These are ongoing through the week.
Food
*: Shared produce from workshops, tasters and snacks.
Meals: If you want a breakfast or an evening meal, you will be able to book and pay a small fee on-site the day before.
Great company
A relaxing break

With no mud slide paths to stop me getting to the cook area, this year I hope to get to sample some of the Forest Knights cooking!:D

It's worth mentioning that there will be breakfasts and dinners available each day from the Forest Knights team, this worked really well last moot and was delicious.

It will be a sign up the day before arrangement where you state if you want a breakfast, dinner or both. The price will be the same as last year - £3.50 breakfast & £7.50 evening meal.
When you sign up your name will go in the book for the next day.

Eastwards!
This keeps popping into my mind……
I haven’t been to a Moot for a good number of years and to be honest I’m quite tickled to drive Westwards in my old LR and have a week of fun and skill learning.
Next thing is to ask my dear wife…..

Swyn would be good to see you. The wintermoot is a more relaxed than the summermoot with focus on cooking chilling out around the fire sharing tall tales and favourite recipes.

A mate suggested this so I just looked at the prices.
£420 for my family!!!......Nice Idea but not in this financial climate!
May be just me but even £140 is borderline. Another time maybe.

We had a great weekend scoping the new site out for the WinterMoot, the areas for prep, cooking and fun are all sorted, access is way easier than last year so everyone should be able to get stuck in!

The site is lovely to camp in and can comfortably accommodate hammocks, tents, tarps, bell tents etc. It's easy to get about the site, from the camping to workshops to loos etc.

Lots of shops within a few miles.

Easy access from main roads and a nice central location.
We'll be at Rough Close Nr Coventry

Tickets available from BushMoot.com

Any questions ask away!

Please post any suggestions for cooking techniques for food related workshops you would like to see at Wintermoot.
We can cover everything but if you don’t ask you don't get.
We can do meats, vegetarian and vegan. Modern to Neolithic.

I'm currently in negotiation with the wife to pop up for the 16-19th. It's difficult because it's a half term week for us and it's close to impossible to camp with Kasia. Potentially looking at getting a caravan again because it's one of the few options we can get which we can secure her in for a summer trip. Not very bushcrafty! but means I'm not leaving half the family at home every time I want to go out camping.
