The Enchanted Forest Community Trust is the charity behind Scotland’s leading sound and light event in Highland Perthshire. Our purpose is to create a world-class cultural experience that also delivers real benefits to the local area. We do this by staging The Enchanted Forest each year, which attracts tens of thousands of visitors and generates significant economic impact for local businesses. Surpluses from the event are reinvested through our Community Fund, supporting charities, schools, and groups with grants for projects that improve wellbeing, tackle disadvantage, and enhance arts, culture, education, sport, and the environment. Since 2015, over £500,000 has been distributed to more than 180 local causes, ensuring the event’s success is shared across the community.
