Festival Bell Tent Hire & Glamping Villages

Pop-up glamping villages for 50 to 1,200 guests. Bell tents for accommodation, stretch tents for the gathering.

Folk festivals, international horse trials, off-road weekends, triathlons. Organisers across the UK trust us with their on-site accommodation, some every year since 2022.

We've run glamping villages from 50 tents up to 1,200 guests.

Bell tents with real raised beds, full crew on site, and a private booking page so festivalgoers pay direct.

Bespoke booking page for your event

Guests 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's booked in real time.

Free to set up. We make our money on the tents, not on charging organisers a portal fee.

Included, no charge

A free marketing pack for your festival.

New for 2027: every event we work with gets a ready-to-post marketing pack built around your branding, like the one we made for Stormin' the Castle. It is a free extra we do to promote your glamping and lift sales. You just post it.

  • Instagram and Facebook feed posts, sized and captioned
  • A 15-second story video, plus the individual story frames
  • A link-preview image so the booking page looks right when shared
  • Ready-to-forward emails for your mailing list, spread through the year

We build it once your dates are locked, and send it over as a folder you can post straight from. There is nothing for you to brief, design or sign off.

What it costs you

Risk-free for your festival.

There is no cost to trying glamping at your event: no delivery fee, no platform fee, no setup cost to you. If it does not sell, you have lost nothing. It usually does, and festival glamping tends to grow year on year as guests see the village and book earlier the next time round.

For festival organisers

Common questions.

Can you host the booking page for our festival?

Yes. We build and host a custom booking page on our domain for your event, 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.

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. Bell tents are unfurnished pop-up shells, 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. Common setup is 3-night vs 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 for the duration. For smaller events, tents come pre-set and guests let themselves in, or you handle check-in yourself.

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 modify the booking options after the page goes live?

Yes. We can add packages, change pricing, adjust dates or add a sold-out flag at any point. Just tell us what needs to change.

Can you put us in touch with festival clients you have worked with?

Yes. We can connect you with organisers from past festivals so you can hear directly how the booking flow worked for their event.

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.

"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."
