What hosts say about the booking system
★★★★★
"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!"
★★★★★
"We hired 13 bell tents for our summer family festival reunion. It added a touch of luxury and comfort to the whole experience. The staff took care of everything, the setup and takedown, the individual bookings and payments, made it totally hassle-free."

FAQs
Free guest booking, asked often.
Can hosts contribute to each tent so guests pay less?
Yes. You can cover any portion of each tent on the portal, £100, £150, whatever you want to subsidise. Guests see the reduced price and only pay the difference plus any extras they add. We invoice you for your contribution once bookings come in.
Can guests pick different packages within the same event?
Yes. Guests choose their own package (Unfurnished, Essentials, Luxury) on the portal, and add bed and bedding upgrades if they want. You can let them choose freely, or lock in one package for everyone if you prefer.
Can guests book just one night instead of the full event?
Yes. The portal can be configured per-night so guests pick which night(s) they want, at different prices if you want different rates per night.
Is there a deadline for guests to book?
No hard cutoff, but bookings tend to slow about a month out and we usually close the portal a week before your event so we can plan crew and load. Earlier is better for us, late bookings are usually workable.
How does payment work?
We take a delivery-fee deposit upfront from the host to confirm the event. Guest payments come in as they book, and the final balance is settled with the host before the event.
What if a guest cancels?
Standard cancellation policy applies (graduated refund based on notice). Hosts can re-list a cancelled tent on the portal so other guests can claim it.
Can guests indicate who they want to share a tent with?
Yes. We add a "who are you sharing with" field to the booking form so guests can pair up. There's no automatic pooling feature, but the info comes through to you and to us.
Can guests pick where they sleep?
Tent assignment is currently handled by us; you can specify near-friends groupings and we accommodate where possible. We're building a layout designer that lets guests pick the actual tent on a map.
Is this better than a wedding accommodation block?
For most outdoor weddings, yes. Hotel blocks scatter guests across town and depend on individuals booking their own room before the block expires. On-site bell tents keep everyone together at the venue, the booking is in one place, and the social dynamic is closer to a festival weekend than a hotel weekend.
Can guests share tents?
Yes, a 5m bell tent sleeps up to 4 comfortably. Common configs: couples take a tent, single friends share, families book one tent per family. Guests pick their config when they book.
How is this different from Airbnb / hotel booking sites?
Airbnb / hotel sites are public marketplaces with strangers. Our portal is private to your event, only your guest list sees it, the inventory is fixed (your hired tents), and the experience is curated to your wedding/festival/event branding.
Can my parents book a tent if they don't use email?
Yes, they can phone us directly and we'll add them to the portal manually. Most guests book via the link, but the system isn't a barrier for less digital guests.
Will guests trust paying via the portal?
Yes. Payments run through Stripe, the same processor behind Apple and Shopify checkouts.
