What festival organisers say
★★★★★
"The team were really great to work with and the service was excellent. My daughter and friends had a fabulous time in the tee pee, we booked it for 2 nights as it was so much fun! Thank you so much."
★★★★★
"Great service from The Glamping Group for our festival. Excellent feedback from our guests and the option to include a real bed and mattress was impressive and taken up by many. We'll certainly be using The Glamping Group for our 2024 event. Thanks guys."
★★★★★
"Hired 10 Bell Tents plus a Bridal Tent for our garden festival style wedding. All members of the team were really helpful and responsive! The tents looked amazing and all our guests found them really comfortable and spacious!"
Festival glamping
Premium accommodation that lifts the whole event.
A glamping village gives festivalgoers somewhere proper to sleep and gives you a premium upgrade tier to sell. We have run villages from 50 tents up to 1,200 guests, designed around your budget, brand and audience.
5m bell tents with real raised beds available, not camp beds. Empty, basic, or fully styled as upgrade tiers. Krankenhaus is our primary festival partner since 2022.

Packages
Upgrade tiers your festivalgoers choose.
Typical festival tiers for a 5m bell tent, from unfurnished to fully styled, offered as upgrades on your booking page. These are festival rates, higher than our wedding and private-event pricing because festival builds are longer, bigger and staffed. We set the exact tiers with you per event.
Essentials
Quoted per event
Bell tent with apple crate table, camping light, doormat. Add beds and bedding separately.
Often picked by: the mid-tier upgrade crowd.
Luxury
Quoted per event
Fully furnished and styled: rugs, cushions, faux flowers, vanity mirror, welcome pack.
Often picked by: VIP and premium accommodation tiers.
All three take the same bedding, bed frames, towels and add-ons. Real beds available, not camp beds. We design the tier structure with you.

For larger villages we run the accommodation end to end so your team can focus on the event.

Tailored packages
Theming to match your festival, with pricing set per event at any size. If you need something we do not offer, just ask.
Bespoke booking page for your event
Festivalgoers pick and pay direct.
Each festival gets a private booking portal branded with your event name. Guests pick the tent and package they want, pay direct via Stripe, and you see who has booked in real time.
Free to set up. We make our money on the tents, not on charging organisers a portal fee. Add a per-tent kickback and we collect it for you.

Add a stretch tent for the gathering.
Bell tents handle the accommodation; a stretch tent handles the crowd. Festivals pair the two for the full village, bell tents to sleep, stretch tents for VIP lounges, bars, chill-out zones and performance shelter.

Festival bell tent hire, asked often.
Can you host the booking page for our festival?
Yes. We build and host a custom booking page on our domain, branded to your festival. There is no platform fee. You can add a per-tent kickback on top of the base price and we collect it on your behalf.
Can we add a per-tent fee on top of your base prices?
Yes. Whatever percentage or fixed amount per tent you want, we add it transparently and pay it to you after the event. Most festival partners run a £20-50 per-tent kickback.
What is the minimum tent count for a festival to be viable?
Around 15 tents is the sweet spot logistically. We can flex below that depending on venue distance, closer to York is more workable at smaller counts. Festival jobs scale to 70+ tents with extended crew.
What is the difference between glamping tents and bare bell tents?
Glamping tents come fully furnished, rugs, cushions, mirrors, lighting, with real beds (single or double config) as an optional add-on. Unfurnished bell tents are priced lower, for guests bringing their own kit. Most festivals offer both as upgrade tiers.
Can guests choose different durations and we charge different prices?
Yes. A common setup is 3-night versus weekend-only at different price points, or per-night pricing. We configure the portal to whatever pricing model works for your event.
When do you install, and can guests access tents early?
Setup the day before gates open. For tight site builds we can work around your timetable. Guests can usually access from mid-afternoon on setup day if pre-furnished.
Will there be someone on site to check guests in?
For events over 30 tents, yes, we provide on-site check-in, wristbanding and a staffed reception tent for the duration. For smaller events tents come pre-set and guests let themselves in.
What sort of beds do you provide?
Real raised bed frames are 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 for guests who want to keep things light.
How much space does each tent need?
A 5m bell tent has a footprint of about 5m × 5m. Including guy ropes, allow 7m × 7m per pitch. Flat or gently sloping grass works best.
Can we factor our standard campsite fee into glamping prices?
Yes. If your festival charges a per-person camping fee on top, we roll it into the package price so guests see one total at checkout.
