Can you believe that 2023 is already upon us? As we wrap up 2022, we’re proud of Victoria Lily Events and the success of 2022. We thought we’d take a moment to share a selection of our hires during the year to inspire you for your next event!
Our bell tent hires have been to East Sussex, West Sussex, Surrey, Kent and further afield. We’ve set up luxury bell tents for weddings, festivals, parties, hen parties and even corporate events – It’s been a full-on year but exciting none-the-less!
We started 2022 with 72 amazing weddings, hen parties, birthday parties, school events and family gatherings, and ended with 91 events!
Family gatherings in the garden
One of our early bell tent hires was set up for a wonderful family in their back garden! They chose a perfect weekend where the sun was shining on the Sunshine Coast. We kitted their bell tent with relaxed neutral vibes, added our famous bunting and left them to enjoy the bell tent for the weekend. It’s such a wonderful feeling knowing you’re helping families make memories!
Summertime
Summer was a crazy period for us as we juggled 50-70 bell tents between May and July alone..whilst negotiating with our little diva! We also attended the Luxe Boho Wedding Fair in Crawley Down which was a brilliant opportunity for us to meet happy couples planning their big day.
Going above and beyond for our clients
In amongst the incredible chaos of Summer, we received a call to say a couple were let down for their wedding bell tents a few days before their wedding, there was no way that we were going to let this opportunity pass (could you imagine the stress the couple were under to find another supplier?) So we hopped in the van and drove an 11 hour round trip to Blackpool to pitch 34 guest tents and a honey moon suite. The newly weds were delighted to say the least, a proud moment for the Victoria Lily team!
WOW WOW WOW!
September saw us pitch 26 sleeping bell tents and our 7m chill out tent around a fire pit for M + M’s wedding bash at the Two Woods Estate in Sussex. We even received an incredible review following their set up “WOW WOW WOW!! It’s stunning! We are blown away. You worked some magic here! We can not thank you enough.” So if you’re looking at wedding bell tents for 2023, contact us as we’d love to make your dreams come true.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us through booking a bell tent hire, or by recommending our services and for commenting/liking on our social channels.

Glamping – or glamorous camping – is no doubt one of the best ways to spend a weekend with your best pals. If you’ve got a date in the diary for a glamping hen do, you are probably wondering what to pack? We’ve put together this handy blog with everything you’ll need to consider when headed of for your first bell tent hen do.
The essentials
We have got most of the essentials covered, such as bedding and other soft furnishings. Depending on the type of hen do and the size of the bell tent you’re hiring, there are other essentials you’re going to need, but don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.
Kitchen must haves
If you plan to cook, it’s important to remember to bring a stove and pans, cups, cutlery and plates. You’ll also want to bring a teapot to enjoy a hot cuppa in nature when dawn breaks – there really is nothing quite like it.
You’ll need to pack cleaning supplies too – from washing up liquid to sponges and towels, so you can your cooking bits ready to use again. We also recommend bringing a dustpan and brush for any crumbs or spillages that may get on your nerves.
Bedroom bits
Although we provide the most comfortable of beds for you to doze in, some people do prefer the comfort of their own pillow, so you are welcome to bring your own. But one thing you most definitely will need are your pjs – you might also want to bring some cosy socks or slippers to keep your toes warm, although the heating is there should you need it.
Bathroom accessories
No matter what type of hen do you’re planning, your bathroom essentials are going to be required. You will want to bring your toothbrush, toothpaste, soap and a small mirror. While we do provide some basics, you will need to supply most of your own, so keep this in mind when packing your bags.
Other bits and bobs
Your phone charger is probably considered an essential. Plus, depending on the time of year, swimwear, suncream and mosquito repellent is too! Remember your medication and other personal items such as creams, make ups, clothes and other home comforts.
Being outside in nature is a great way to enjoy time with your best girl pals, especially at a hen party glamp camp! We know you’re going to have the best time and with your essentials packed, you can get ready to make memories that last a lifetime!

Bell tents sure look pretty, but do you know what they do? And would you know why you should hire one for your event?We’ve written a few reasons blog to explain why we think everyone should consider a hiring a bell tent for their special occasion.
They’re big
The first thing to note is it is super hard to give a realistic idea of the space inside a bell tent than a photograph will allow. We have bell tents in a variety of sizes, from 4 metres up to 7 meters. To give you an idea, 4-meter tents will comfortably fit 2-3 people and 7 metre tents 25-30 people. Our bell tents often surprise people when they see the amount of space inside.
We offer bell tents that sleep 1-2 people or 4-5 people comfortably with furnishings and room for your luggage. We have seen them set up with 6 single beds inside, although we prefer to make sure you have plenty of room around you to make your experience more comfortable.
They’re great for all occasions
The bell tents we hire out across Sussex, London, Essex, Kent, Surrey and Hampshire are used for a variety of different occasions.
We’ve seen bell tent hire for hen parties, weddings, christenings, birthday parties (for both children and adults) garden parties, BBQs, retirement parties, festivals, honeymoons and family reunions.
They’re practical
Our bell tents offer shelter from all the elements such as the rain or the sun. The addition of lanterns and lights both inside and out can make the bell tents feel even more magical when the sun goes down.
They’re beautiful
We get lots of feedback from customers to say they didn’t realise quite how stunning our bell tents are until they saw them in real life. We pride ourselves on providing crisp, clean, light, bright and luxurious interiors.
We are super proud of our beautiful bell tent set ups so check us out on Instagram, on Facebook or on Pinterest where we love to share pictures and videos of our pretty set ups.

Overseeing organising a hen party is quite the honour. From the moment the bride asks you to be her Maid of Honour or Bridesmaid, the pressure is on to show her how much she means to you by providing the best hen party ever!
You might find yourself mulling over ideas of a night on the tiles, or a trip to see a Magic Mike style performance, but none of those ideas feel unique or special enough for your number one girl.
That’s where Victoria Lily steps in – we can provide the perfect hen do that suits every bride, every guest and every budget, without any stress causing you to reach for the gin (or three!) We offer Bell Tent Hen Party hire in East Sussex, West Sussex, Surrey and Kent!
Here are our top 5 reasons why a Bell Tent Hen Do might be the best idea you’ve ever had:
Unique – Every Hen party we’ve ever done has been unique and we love to hear your plans and ideas of how to make it extra special for the bride.
We offer 5 metre bell tents which are furnished with carpets, rugs, side tables, raised single beds with a mattress, bunting, eye masks, a mirror, rugs, LED lanterns and boho décor and bedding sets.
The rest is up to you! We welcome personalised decorations, bars, silent discos, yoga lessons, flower headband making, cocktail classes – the list is endless. If you need ideas, we are more than happy to chat through some options, or feel free to browse our social accounts for some inspo from other fabulous hen parties we’ve been involved with.
Create special memories – From the moment she arrives, to the minute you leave, the bride will be overwhelmed by the thought and detail you’ve put into her hen do. So, make sure you snap away to capture all the special memories for her to look back on for years to come – and don’t forget to tag us on your social accounts so we can see what a wonderful time you’ve had too!
Suitable for everyone – one of the biggest stresses of planning a hen do can be making sure it’s accessible for everyone. Not everyone likes a drink and a dance, and some people may have specific requirements or individual needs when it comes to where they stay. So, the location is down to you – we have provided bell tens for hen dos in fields, private gardens, campsites and private estates so make sure you decide what is right for your gang and let us know where to pitch up. As always, we are happy to give ideas of suggestions of places that might work best, then you can make the final decision with the hens.
All you need to do is gather your bride tribe and lockdown a date that works for you all. Once you’ve got this date, get in touch with us to put the date in stone and set up a countdown to the best hen do ever!
Affordable pricing – we know how messy things can get when you pay for decorations here, food there and other bits all over the place. So, we have kept it simple and have a set price of £75 per hen for the entire weekend (minimum booking of 5 hens).
Plus, if you have a group of 25 or more hens, we will provide a free hen chill out tent, which is fully furnished with snuggly sofas, carpets, blankets and rugs – perfect for a large group who want a cosy space for activities or a place for a cuppa and chat on Sunday morning.
We’d love to chat through your Hen Do ideas and plans, so ping us an email on victoria@victorialilyevents.co.uk or visit victorialilyevents.co.uk/ to find out more about what we can offer you.
