RIVER WILDERNESS
WEEKENDS
A guided river and wilderness experience set in the beautiful surroundings of Hancock’s Meadow Farm,
Herefordshire a locally run family farm surrounded by nature, open skies, and peaceful countryside. Designed
to reconnect you with nature, confidence, and each other, this experience offers a chance to step away from
the noise of everyday life and slow down in a supportive and welcoming environment.
This is not about performance or pressure, it is about breathing deeply, building confidence gently, sharing
meaningful moments, and spending time outdoors with like-minded people. Whether around the fire, on the
river, or beneath the stars, the weekend is created to help you feel grounded, supported, and reconnected.
No experience is needed. Everything is fully guided, safe, and accessible.
A weekend to reconnect with what really matters.

Food is a huge part of our community ethos.
Where possible, all food and produce is sourced locally from Hancock Farm
and other Herefordshire farms and suppliers, celebrating the incredible food
culture and produce our county has to offer.
All meals are freshly prepared on the day using seasonal, locally sourced
ingredients. Meals are designed to bring people together around the fire in a
relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
We cater for all dietary requirements and access needs.
The River Experience
The River Wye sits at the heart of everything we do. It offers a
peaceful, slow-moving environment where you can learn, explore,
and reconnect with nature at your own pace. All river activities are
fully guided with a focus on safety, confidence, and enjoyment.

are central to every
experience. All
