"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!"
Wedding accommodation
A multi-day celebration, not a one-day event.
Bell tents turn a wedding into a weekend. Keep everyone onsite, so the party carries on after the band stops and picks back up over breakfast. Ideal for outdoor, rustic and festival-style weddings where you want guests together rather than scattered across hotels and taxis.
A 5m bell tent sleeps up to 4, with real raised beds available, not camp beds. Couples typically book one tent per couple plus a few extra for singles and family. We deliver, set up the day before, and collect the day after.
