The Enchanted Forest shortlisted for Community Award

THE ENCHANTED FOREST SHORTLISTED FOR COMMUNITY AWARD

Scotland’s favourite sound and light show, The Enchanted Forest, has been shortlisted at this year’s Courier Business Awards in the Community category. It’s the second Community award shortlisting for the charity led event which donates its proceeds to local causes.

The trailblazing event, which runs annually in the autumn at the beautiful Faskally Wood in Pitlochry, attracting over 85,000 visitors, also boosts the local tourism economy in Highland Perthshire of £10.38 million annually.

The popular event is one of four organisations shortlisted for the Community award, sponsored by Insights, which recognises groups and businesses who put community at their heart, demonstrating a significant contribution to the community and a commitment to local employment, partnership working and social inclusion.

The Courier Business Awards showcase the very best companies and business talent operating in Tayside and Fife. The black-tie ceremony to announce the winners is the region’s the biggest business event in the area and is held in October.

Nela Popovic, executive director of The Enchanted Forest Community Trust, said: “We’re absolutely delighted to be shortlisted for this award and it’s a second feather in the cap of our team who have worked so hard to ensure that the local community is engaged with the event and benefits directly from it.

“We are also thrilled with the impact of this year’s Enchanted Forest Community Fund and, with  a record number of grants issued last year, we are already seeing great work being done in the local community as a result. All who have been shortlisted are deserving winners and we are looking forward to the final in the October.”

The Enchanted Forest’s 2024 ‘Symphony of Nature’ show will take place 3 October to 3 November. To book tickets, or to find out more information, please visit: www.enchantedforest.org.uk.
