A series of J. R. R. Tolkien-related conventions held by The Tolkien Society in Oxford, UK. The Society says:
Since 1974, Oxonmoot has steadily grown from a handful of Tolkien fans meeting in an Oxford pub to a respected annual academic and social event. The name "Oxonmoot" comes from moot, meaning "meeting" in Old English (like "Entmoot"), and Oxonium, the Latin name for Oxford. The spelling is not "Oxenmoot". The suggestion for Oxonmoot came from a John Abbot in an obscure fanzine called Nazgûl, or The Wakefield Charivari.
