MakerMoot
The perfect blend of adventure, flavour and fun
The MakerMoot is a relaxed weekend gathering for anyone who loves to make things, whether that’s leatherwork, sewing, carving, knitting, or tinkering with your latest creative project. Think of it as a “maker’s retreat” in the woods: time and space to work on your own creations, share skills with others, and enjoy good company around the fire.
We have created the MakerMoot to coincide with two fantastic nearby events - The Original Re-enactors Market (TORM) and Artisan & Reenactors Market (ARM) - both just a short trip away. It’s the perfect chance to stock up on materials and inspiration, then return to camp to turn your finds into something amazing.
We’ll have a large, warm, indoor workshop space that’s dry and well lit, perfect for crafts and detailed work. There's also a covered outdoor area for those who like fresh air while they work. Bring your tools, materials, and ideas - we’ll provide tables, power, and space to spread out.
“Good move creating the MakerMoot! Being able to camp near TORM for the weekend is great, and having a space to make things is a bonus!”
It’s up to you how involved you want to be; Whether you're into leatherwork, sewing, carving, knitting, blacksmithing, bushcraft, or brewing up wild ideas — bring your own projects and tools, and spend the weekend making, tinkering, or just taking it easy.
If you have a specific skill, or craft you would like to share just let us know so we can share that with others.
And when the tools go down, the evening fire becomes the heart of camp — a space to unwind, chat, share skills, and soak up the glow of a creative weekend.
