The Enchanted Forest 2026
Our 25th Anniversary Show
Stop The Clock: The 25th Hour.
They say that every 25 years, Faskally Wood steals an hour from time itself.
Nobody knows where it comes from. Or where it goes.
But for one magical, fleeting moment, an extra hour appears between the ticks and tocks of everyday life.
As The Enchanted Forest celebrates its landmark 25th anniversary in 2026, we’re inviting visitors to step into that secret extra hour with the unveiling of this year’s Show theme: Stop The Clock: The 25th Hour.
Once every 25 years, the forest unlocks a hidden extra hour in time, this year’s Show will transport visitors into a playful and dreamlike world where clocks misbehave, minutes drift and the ordinary rules of reality begin to unravel…
For 25 years, The Enchanted Forest has welcomed audiences to leave everyday life behind and immerse themselves in a world of imagination, wonder and shared experiences. This special anniversary Show offers visitors a chance to escape the pressures of the outside world and spend time in a place where schedules don’t matter and anything feels possible.
You can expect spectacular light installations, immersive soundscapes and moments of wonder woven throughout Faskally Wood, all inspired by the magical idea of an extra hour hidden in time itself.
Details of last year’s show can be found here if you want to know a bit more about the kind of show we might have in store.
What we can reveal is that the theme will be set against the stunning backdrop of autumnal Faskally Wood, to create a breathtaking spectacle of wonder and magic.
With a quarter of a century of award-winning history, The Enchanted Forest has welcomed almost 1 million visitors and earned accolades including Best Cultural Event, Best Outdoor Festival, and the Scottish Thistle Award for Best Event.
Our 25th Anniversary event will be something very special!
Running from 8 October to 8 November 2026.
