"About four years ago I started to develop an outlet for university students at the Penrith campus, related to supporting experiential approaches to the outdoors. At the time I realised that to capture the students imagination I needed to focus on a unique and novel workspace that would engage the students creativity. During this early period I was fortunate to come across 'Wildwood' who were in the early stages of developing their concepts of Yurts as spaces for learning. With a little leap of faith by the University of Central Lancashire we were able to purchase one 20ft Yurt.
Our early experiments to say the least were very successful. Not only did we engage the students imagination, but our unique space attracted a number of partner based programs with others looking to facilitate communal activities in the outdoors.
As our project progressed, our needs became more diverse as our creative relationship with this new space developed. During this stage Wildwood were not only able to keep up with our (often!) random demands, but more importantly provide us with sound advice about design of space and structures that can support it.
Currently our project has grown into a fully fledged Yurt village, which accommodates a variety of programs through 'Frontier Education', a name we use to identify our student centred programs based in (and out!) of the yurts. Wildwood have provided us with a platform to culture our ideas of engaging others in shared learning experiences...and to some degree I am sure we provided them the space to see their designs in action.
I would highly recommend anyone with similar creative or imaginative ideas in the making, or even those searching for a space that is versatile and different to contact Wildwood. Their approach is both professional and adaptable to personal requirements, and their support is no less than 100%... if you unsure you’re welcome to visit our learning spaces"

“Having hired two yurts from Wildwood, once for the Kirkland Music Festival in 2003, and for our own wedding in 2004, we would like to comment on how impressed we were with the overall quality and design of Wildwood’s products”.

“At our wedding the 40ft yurt provided a fantastic and atmospheric venue in torrential rain, easily withstanding two tremendously wet days. Complete with a beautiful wooden floor, it made a very stylish and unique venue”.

“Having had hundreds of weddings here over our 27 years at Riverdale Hall Hotel, we had one really special one last year in the most wonderful of settings - a yurt. The friendliness and service we received from the firm was terrific”.

“The Criminal Justice System is not the most engaging of subjects to most people, but our yurt has proven extremely useful for attracting people in to talk to us. There is heaps of space inside and the frame provides an excellent display facility”.

“The yurt has been well designed for ease of erection, storage and for long service, using quality materials. We have used it in various locations and on differing surfaces, from grass to decking and tarmac and after one year of fairly heavy use, it shows no signs of age”.
Colette, Pitlochry Theatre |

“Wind, rain or shine, it certainly stands the test. A team of four can erect the 40ft structure in around 3-4 hours. Because we can do this ourselves there is a huge cost saving to be made vs. hiring in a marquee”.

“The assembling and dismantling of a yurt is understandably quite a skilled process; but on both occasions we have found Wildwood extremely efficient in delivering, assembling and dismantling the products – always meeting our demands and time schedules”.
