We have an arrangement with a local marquee company who can provide a wide range of marquees to suit your personal taste and design and he can furnish them and provide generators as well. Our glamping site has 5 large furnished bell tents which each sleep up to 4 so sleeping 20 in total. The site has a toilet and shower block with fully functioning kitchen for the use of the bell tent guests.

Your friends and family can be involved at the outset to prepare and decorate the site as there is unlimited space for other tents or outside features such as wedding arches and woven tipis for you to have a blessing on site in front of your guests. The wildflower field lends itself to this and is great for photos or to create a festival style theme with banners, flags, Raj tents or similar. Our glamping site is available from the Thursday to Monday giving ample time for the event to be set up and taken down with friends and family able to be on site throughout. Our Log Cabin is included from Friday through to Monday and our Crash Pads and additional small bell tent can be added as required.
