Join us for London's first Beaver Moon Festival! 🦫🌕
As November’s full Beaver Moon lights up the skies, we’re celebrating one of nature’s most extraordinary creatures with a day of film, folklore, creativity and beaver-inspired fun at Forty Hall Farm.
And what better place to host this event than Forty Hall, home to Enfield’s very own beaver reintroduction project? Managed in partnership by Capel Manor College and Enfield Council, with the team at Forty Hall Farm, the beaver enclosure is helping to bring these remarkable animals back into our landscape.
The Beaver Moon Festival is a chance to celebrate their return, discover the extraordinary role beavers play in restoring nature, and enjoy an evening, inspired by these fascinating creatures, along with food and drink. The event comes in two halves; the daytime for younger children and families and the evening for grown-ups and older children twelve years and upwards.
SESSION 2: FROM DUSK TIL NIGHT FALLS 5.30pm–9.30 pm
For adults and children age 12 years and up.
An Evening of Film, Folklore & Beaver Mayhem!
As darkness falls over Forty Hall Farm, the Beaver Moon Festival takes a wonderfully eccentric turn! Join us for an atmospheric evening celebrating all things beaver, with folklore, firelight, creativity, drinks and a brilliantly bonkers cult film.
Set against the backdrop of Forty Hall Farm, Forty Hall, home to London’s very own beaver reintroduction project, this is an evening that brings together nature, art, cinema and a healthy dose of absurdity.

One Hundred Beavers (12A) – Presented by Enfield Fantastic Cinema.
A wildly inventive, gloriously ridiculous cult comedy following one man’s epic battle against a hundred diabolical beavers standing between him and true love. With its extraordinary visual comedy and wonderfully absurd storytelling, this is a film unlike anything you’ve seen before.
🍕
Food & Drink – Food and drinks will be available to purchase.
Come for the beavers, stay for the mayhem. And feel free to dress up with beaver inspired outfits and accessories!
