The Bricket Wood coven, or Hertfordshire coven is a coven of Gardnerian witches founded in the 1940s by Gerald Gardner. It is notable for being the first coven in the Gardnerian line, though having its supposed origins in the pre-Gardnerian New Forest coven. The coven formed after Gardner bought the Fiveacres Country Club, a naturist club in the village of Bricket Wood, Hertfordshire, southern England, and met within the club's grounds. It played a significant part in the history of the neopagan religion of Wicca. Many important and influential figures in Wicca were once members of the coven, including Dafo, Doreen Valiente, Jack Bracelin, Fred Lamond, Dayonis and Lois Bourne. The coven is still active today, though it maintains secrecy and its history was only known up until the 1970s.There have been misleading and fraudulent online claims by people claiming to be running (and thus admitting new members to) the Bricket Wood coven. Concern amongst the wiccan initiate community grew. In 2021 the High Priest and High Priestess of the Bricket Wood coven set up a website to display accurate information, and provide a way of direct communication with the coven. The website provides an overview of the coven's history up to the present day.
