FAQs
Bell tent hire, asked often.
How much does bell tent hire cost?

How many people does a bell tent sleep?
A 5m bell tent comfortably sleeps up to 5 adults. Two adults can have a king setup with raised single frames pushed together. Families with kids can fit more loosely.
What sort of beds do you provide?
Real raised bed frames available on every tent, not camp beds. Singles can be arranged as a king. Memory foam mattresses and full bedding sets are optional add-ons. Airbeds are an option too if you want to keep things light.
Are bell tents waterproof?
Yes. Heavy-duty cotton canvas with weatherproofed seams and a sewn-in groundsheet. We rig conservatively in exposed venues.
How do guests pay if it's a wedding?
Free guest booking system. Every guest gets a private page to pick and pay for their own tent. No spreadsheets, no chasing payments, no admin on you. Free for every event, not just weddings.
How many tents can you set up?
Anywhere from 5 to 30 bell tents per van load. Larger jobs are multi-van. Festival jobs scale to 70+ tents with extended crew.
Is there a minimum order?
Minimums scale with delivery distance. Under 2hr drive: 5 tents minimum. 2-4hr: 10 tents. 4hr+: 15-20 tents. Distance economics drive this.
How much space do bell tents need?
A 5m bell tent occupies roughly 6m × 6m of ground including guy ropes. Reasonably flat ground is ideal. We can advise on layout based on your venue.
Can bell tents be heated?
For shoulder-season events we can advise on safe heating options. Bell tents themselves retain warmth well thanks to thick canvas.
Do you set up and take down?
Yes, included. We set up the day before and take down the day after, so guests don't have to leave until late morning.
How far do you travel?
Based in York/Malton, working nationwide. Delivery cost scales with distance. Send a postcode and date and we'll quote within 24 hours.
How far in advance should I book?
Summer Saturdays book up fast. For weddings 6-18 months out is normal. Festivals 6-12 months. Private events 1-3 months is usually fine.
Can I see the tents in person?
For wedding clients we can sometimes arrange a viewing day. Photos and videos cover most of what people want to see — send any specific question.
What's in the Luxury package?
Real bed setup, full bedding, rugs, cushions, dried flowers, vanity mirror, welcome pack with eye mask and ear plugs, apple crate table, camping light, doormat.
