The perfect blend of adventure, flavour and fun
WinterMoot is our Festival of Outdoor Cookery, based on outdoor cooking and related crafts and skills. It covers various preparation and cooking skills, from butchering to pancakes and roasts to fire management, as well as safety, hunting and other related skills.
“I found it very relaxing and to dip in and out of the activities. It was an ideal number of classes. And the location was fantastic.”
It’s up to you how involved you want to be; there’s no pressure, you can relax or knead bread, go for a walk or carve a spoon, it’s up to you.
If you have a specific skill, craft or cooking interest that you would like to spend time on, let us know so that we can try to include it in the programme. Alternatively, if you have skills and knowledge you would like to share, we’d love to make that happen; after all, the Moots are all about skill sharing.

Food
As this is an outdoor cooking event, everyone who has a ticket to attend will get to share in what’s produced in the cooking workshops that you’re involved in. It will generally be a taster of what’s produced. It all depends on what is being made, how much, and how many people are involved.
The focus of the event is to enjoy and learn cooking skills in the outdoors.
Please note that this is a self-catering event with some food produced during workshops. You will need to make sure that you have your own food for your needs*.
*Breakfasts and Evening meals can be provided as a paid extra on Monday, Wednesday and Friday; each day, there will be an opportunity to sign up for whatever meal is available the next morning and evening.
£5 Breakfast wrap - Every morning: Tuesday - Sunday

Fires are allowed on site but need to be raised off of the ground. Please bring your own fire pit/bowl/raised fire platform with you if you intend on having your own fire.
