Charnwood Forest BBQ Charcoal 

£7.00 per bag (For bulk orders, please contact the Estate Office) Bags can be purchased from our Deer Barns Cafe or by calling the Estate Office

NOTE:  We are having some 'pop up' tables in our Newtown Linford car park some weekends whereby you can purchase our charcoal from there [cash only].  Please call the Estate Office for dates/times when our 'pop up' tables will be held.

Made as a by-product of our work managing the Park woodlands and Swithland Wood, we make our own barbecue charcoal using a kiln located at Bradgate Park.

The process converts much of the small diameter hardwood timber from our work (that previously would have been burnt as waste) into Charnwood Forest Charcoal. This products comes from sustainably managed woodlands and is not treated with harmful chemicals, which can be the case with imported charcoal. By buying locally, you know that your barbecue has “low BBQ miles” and the income from this is supporting the Charity's work to care for the Bradgate Park Estate. 

Please note no BBQ's can be used on site, our Bradgate Park charcoal is for private use on your own BBQ in your own garden.
