Welcome to Happy River
Happy River is a slice of forest paradise and home to a unique health and wellbeing space and creative community in Dorset. Entirely plant-powered, it is fuelled by the belief in the benefits of conscious living which flows through all that we do.
Empowering Experiences
Many tributaries join forces to create the Happy River experience, since the paths to health are manyfold. You can join us for a one-off course or event, a signature retreat or a self-catering or hosted escape in a peaceful forest clearing. Makers Barn, at the heart of the space also houses a very special artist space for members and visitors. Explore all the opportunities in our threads below.

All Happy River activities have limited spaces to ensure a completely unique and unforgettable experience for everyone. If you’d like to be the first to know about anything new in the calendar, pop your email below (we’ll only use it for this purpose) for updates on lots of new exciting things on the menu.
The Source of
Happy River
Happy River was co-founded by Robbie and Rachel. As soon as they came to live in the idyllic setting of their smallholding in Wareham Forest, they knew they wanted to share it for a bigger purpose. And so Happy River began. Celebrating the power and potential of plant-based living, as well as considering the whole picture when it comes to health, this project is truly one of a kind.
Book an event
There are regular monthly events and member subscription gatherings as well as pop-ups for the time-pressed. Then there are our unforgettable signature days and retreats. If you are interested in getting involved in our creative community, consider a Makers Barn membership or rent a space or the entire venue to run your own event.
