Get ready to be enchanted as the highly anticipated 'Enchanted Forest' returns this October and November with a brand new theme. Nestled in the picturesque Faskally Wood near Pitlochry, this sound and light show has become a must-see for families all over the country during the autumn months.
This year's theme is 'Symphony of Nature', a celebration of the natural world and the harmonies created by the diverse creatures that call Faskally their home. The Enchanted Forest is a magical experience that attracts over 83,000 visitors every year, promising to take you on a journey through a symphony of lights, music, and the breathtaking beauty of the forest.
Back by popular demand is Beira, the Goddess of Winter, who will once again grace the forest as the wise and gentle conductor of its melody. Her magical wish upon a dandelion seed will set the stage for a dazzling display of lights, sound, and dancing fountains.
As you make your way along the 1.8km trail, you'll encounter several installations that will leave you in awe. From a mesmerizing light show over Loch Dunmore to a shimmering bridge, a kaleidoscope of butterflies, and an allegro tunnel where sound and light intertwine, the Enchanted Forest is a feast for the senses. The leisurely walk takes approximately 60-90 minutes to complete, leaving you with plenty of time to indulge in the delicious food and drinks available at the various stalls on site.
Not only is this event a highlight on many families' calendars, but it also gives back to the local community. The proceeds from the Enchanted Forest are distributed to local charities through the Enchanted Forest Community Trust, making it a truly heartwarming experience.
Executive Director of the Enchanted Forest Community Trust, Nela Popovic, expressed her excitement for this year's show, stating, "We're delighted to announce the theme of 'Symphony of Nature' for this year's Enchanted Forest. Our creative team has been working tirelessly to bring a show that will once again surpass all expectations and delight visitors of all ages. We can't wait to welcome everyone back to the stunning Faskally Wood in October for another extraordinary show."
Since its launch in 2002, the Enchanted Forest has not only captured the hearts of its visitors but has also had a significant impact on the local economy, generating over £10 million in recent years. In recognition of its success, the event has been shortlisted for numerous awards and has won Best Cultural Event at various ceremonies.
