Community Events
Every corporate event booked helps something meaningful grow.
For every paid session we deliver, we also create opportunities for our community (local and from afar, no one is excluded) to gather, connect, and take part in experiences—through a mix of paid and free events.
It’s an approach rooted in balance: supporting businesses while engaging with the place and people around us.
These community days are about real connection in a world that too often keeps us behind screens. They offer space for conversation, shared activity, and simple human interaction—whether that’s around a fire, working with natural materials, or learning a new (or very old) skill together.
They also allow us to open the woods to those who might benefit most from a moment of respite, while giving us the freedom to experiment, refine, and evolve the experiences we offer to our corporate and charity partners.
Sometimes they’re purposeful. Sometimes they’re restorative. And sometimes, they’re simply about doing something fun together.
By choosing to work with us at a paid event, you’re not just investing in your own team or group—you’re helping to sustain a wider circle of connection, wellbeing, and shared experience within the community.

“A totally magical woodland setting, encouraging, generous hosts and an informative, inspirational workshop on wild fermentation. We absolutely loved it and would highly recommend."
Emma Leach
“I felt very lucky to be able to attend the wild cheese and bread making workshop yesterday at Wild Weald led by Francis and Pam. We were learning how to make both from scratch around a fire in the peaceful woods; it was informative, hands on, relaxed and really fun. Pam and Francis know their stuff and generously shared their enthusiasm and experience in an approachable and conversational way.”
Luke Hibbert
"Wow! My wife and I have taken part in numerous workshops (charcoal making / basket making / cheese and bread making) with Pam, Francis and Amy and each has been unique, enriching and so much fun; all within the beautiful backdrop of the Wild Weald woodland."
