Hopefully it will be dry and we can enjoy an evening social around the firepit with some hot drinks and fabulous pizza to eat.

Oven story

The MOP oven was built on site around 2012 and is still going strong today. As you know it lives under a roof to keep it dry from the rain and stands on a raised brick plinth to keep it dry down below. Made of subsoil rich in clay dug out here on site add in some sand and straw and you have the old building material called cob – mixed here by many volunteers hands and feet and built up by hand around a giant sand dome form. When its dry enough you cut your door hole into the cob drag out the sand and hey presto you got a big old oven to cook with. Simple ideas really are the best!

As the nights are drawing in and chilly bring a torch to get around – a blanket – your own mugs for hot drinks and a song or story to share.
