About Us

EnchantedForest Workshops develop and support the following areas in a positive and practical manner and ensures that all participants enjoy the outdoors in their own individual way:

  • Friendships and relationships
  • Opportunities for learning new skills
  • Respect for yourself, each other and the environment
  • Enjoyment and achievement
  • Staying safe and healthy
  • Time away

EnchantedForest Workshops have been developing over the past two years. Bringing together the philosophies of Joseph Cornell earthwalks and the John Muir Trust, Marneta Viegas' Relax Kids meditation and yoga, Steve Van Matre's Earth Education principles, traditional bushcraft techniques, and activites of our own design, EnchantedForest offers truly fulfilling workshops for all ages and abilities, sending everyone home with an enhanced love and appreciation of nature and wildlife, feeling uplifted and positive from within.

Health and Safety Policy

EnchantedForest works hard to ensure that our customers come to no harm during their time with us. We employ various strategies which enable us to identify and minimize risks before they become a problem. Although working with nature can never be 100% predictable, we are confident that our policy, as detailed below gives our customers a great deal of protection and peace of mind.

First Aid Trained

Our leaders are first aid trained

Child Protection policy

Our leaders have all been checked by the Criminal Record Bureau (CRB) and have received at least the Standard Disclosure.

Risk Assessments

All workshops and activities are preceded by relevant risk assessments which will look to minimize any risks there may be to our customers and leaders. Risk assessments are a very useful tool for identifying risks and putting controls in place. Our risk assessments are dynamic, meaning that our leaders update them in their heads throughout workshops, constantly identifying and minimizing risks to our customers.
