The dates are the Friday the 1st to Tuesday the 5th of Aug.  Please remember that this is not a bank holiday weekend.

Anyone is more than welcome to come for a day or for the whole period.

These meets are for everyone, no matter how involved you are in bushcraft, bring the family! 

Example workshops at the event:

Mors Kochanski, Flintknapping with Will & John Lord, netmaking and snares, shelter building, knots, cordage, fire by friction with bowdrill and handrill, tool sharpening, plant walks, tracking, woodcraft skills, leather working, carving, cooking and lots more...

There will be a mixture of scheduled workshops and informal workshops that tend to happen spontaneously.

The cost for the Moot this year will be £60 for an adult and £30 for 14-17 years and free for all children 13 or younger. This fee covers most workshops (sometimes a small donation for materials is appropriate and flintknapping is prebooked and has an extra charge), camping for 4 nights and 5 days, the money goes towards covering the costs of organising the moot and the rent of the site.

The day rate for the event is £20.

Please pre pay here via the BushcraftUK Shop:

 or by cheque to Bushcraft Media Ltd, and send it to Bushcraft, PO Box 75, SA44 5QW

This year we are limiting numbers to the Moot so that everyone has a fantastic experience, so book early to avoid disappointment. If you have any questions feel free to email us at This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it

Please be aware that we will have the Bushcraftuk shop at the bushmoot. We will also have extra products that will soon be available on-line, and some fun products for the children.
