At Fen Zen, we strive to create an unforgettable experience for our guests, providing a platform for networking and learning in a fun and engaging environment.
Founded in 2010, Fen Zen has since become a premier event in the industry, attracting top professionals and thought leaders from around the world.
We handpick each of our speakers for their expertise and innovative ideas, ensuring that our guests are exposed to the latest trends and thought-provoking insights.
Meet as our ancestors did,... together, around a fire, connecting with other families in nature. Connection with the Earth and each other, connection to our lineage, to the Ancient ways, to how we have always lived, as a village raising our children together around a fire, weaving, singing, offering our thanks to Mother Earth.
Offered as a monthly session alongside the Celtic calendar, we invite you to step back into these traditional practices, welcome home.
Our Monthly Women's Circle. A chance for you to be heard, and listen, in circle. A chance for socialising, support, and down time, meeting with friends, and friends to be. Charged as a donation (suggested £3) Please car share if possible. Follow link to book your space.
We are trialing this as we have had a lot of home educating families asking us about more in depth educational sessions for their children. So here we go!
Sessions will run on Fridays afternoons from 1pm to 3pm with a little chance to play in the trees afterwards!
Each session consists of a hands on workshop with learning opportunities for all ages.
If these sessions are well attended we will continue with more sessions in September. :)
Make time to harness the power of nature and fully immerse yourself in a ‘Women’s Nurture Day’ found in the beautiful setting at Fen Zen, for women only. Tucked away in the beautiful West Norfolk countryside, on the outskirts of the small village of Denver. This peaceful, healing environment is the perfect haven to enjoy a day of relaxation, meditation, and opportunity to refill your ‘creative-well’ by trying an optional creative activity.
Women’s Nurture Days are offered throughout the year from Springtime to Wintertime. We look forward to welcoming you to Fen Zen, to harness the power of nature and use this natural space to fully relax. Encouraging you to spend quality time in nature, on a regular basis. To help you feel more centred, more at peace and more balanced.
We hold a once monthly Community Fire, open to all, to sit around the campfire, connect and chat with other people. Like our Ancestors did, to share stories, skills, to sing and drum if you want to! This is such a chilled event, all welcome, please bring your own refreshments.
Free event! (donations welcome)
Please email for the next date.

For a special, never to be forgotten outdoor adventure, a visit to Fen Zen is something your child and their friends will cherish for years to come.
Wether it’s a birthday, to celebrate finishing exams, or marking a milestone in your child’s life, we’re able to provide a fun, exciting and educational outdoor party experience that they’ll remember for years to come.
Our childrens parties are delivered by qualified and experienced staff and are generally based around a bushcraft theme and involve den building and fire lighting.
With that said, we can tailor a party to your needs if you have other activities in mind, we have a vast range of skills and experience and can tackle most aspects of bushcraft and survival.
For a typical party we’ll introduce the children to the importance of shelter in the outdoors and teach them how to build their own from natural resources provided to us by nature.
For the fire lighting element of the party, the children get to try out lots of different ways to light a fire, from matches & lighters, batteries & wire wool, through to modern fire steels.
They will then gather their own firewood, learn how to set a up a fire to give them the very best chance of success, light a fire and use it to cook hot dogs and marshmallows.
We provide catering for the special day; in fact, the kids love to cook their own sausages and marshmallows on a fire they’ve lit themselves!
Our bushcraft childrens parties are held outdoors, all year round, on a beautiful 8 acre rewilded meadow in Denver, Norfolk.
We have a dedicated area for the parties nestled between the trees and bushes so that the kids get a genuine wild experience. Our children’s parties last for around 3 hours. We take a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 8 children at a party.
A half-day birthday party is £30 per child. The price is all inclusive and covers the bushcraft activities, refreshments, hot chocolate, hot dogs and marshmallows.
For more information, or to discuss options, please email us.
Wether it's a first or a 13th, we have the Birthday party that will suit your child! Tell us what you want, or pick from the pre planned parties:
Or your own theme! We love parties here at Fen Zen! We know that your child will feel so special from the get go, and all their friends will have a great time too! Email for detalis.
