SCION SWAP & STALLS
🌳The scion swap is a central part of Fruit Moot, and there will be a designated space in the venue for this to take place.
If you are bringing scion, please make sure to follow these guidelines:
- Package each variety in a separate, clearly labelled bag. If possible please include a What3Words link for the tree that the scion has come from.
- Do not bring scion from obviously diseased trees.
- We will have pens, labels and bags available to take scion away in.
- Only take as much scion as you are likely to use.
There will also be stalls from our friends at Fruit Works, Earthed Up! and Thornborough Cider, so be sure to peruse what they have to offer and support your fellow growers.

🦽The venue is wheelchair accessible and has level access throughout with accessible toilets. The whole event will be taking place on the ground floor.
If you have any other access needs then please get in touch with the organising team at [email protected] and we’ll do what we can to help.
AFTER PARTY
🍻You’re warmly invited to come and raise a glass at the Rutland Arms after the event. It’s in between the venue and the train station, so ideal for anyone travelling home that way.
We have the upstairs room booked for the evening, and the Rutland has a great selection of food and beers to ease you into the weekend.
