I have some I would like to transfer to another place, but I don't know
whether it is the best time to do this!

Since the weather is still mild and autumnish, I would have thought
you'd get away with it. I did mine in late October last year and it was
fine so, provided your soil is not frozen or water-logged, you'll be okay.

Mine's only just died back! Think maybe we should try and do it at the
weekend

I moved and split mine in June, the completely wrong time of year
according to gardening books. It has survived and done well since! So
maybe rhubarb isn't too fussy when it is moved provided it has
appropriate care in its new location.

The main thing is do you have a dead piglet to bury underneath it? :-))
