AVAILABLE APRIL – SEPTEMBER 2022

Our hugely successful and almost sell out during 2021 Hen Camp is available once again at the Hook and Hatchet Pub in Huckling, near Maidstone for 2022 bookings.

THE LOCATION

The Hook and Hatchet Pub is a unique and vibrant location with its own Hillside Campsite, with an exclusive semi private area assigned just for the Hen Camps during the summer months. You have the benefit of your own newly paved patio area, festoon lights hanging in trees and your own gated entrance to the glamp camp area.

The venue is situated within the Huckling Estate just off the Pilgrims Way, which is an Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Star gazing, unlimited fresh air and nature are in a constant supply.

THE DETAILS

Upon your arrival and check in at the pub, you will be greeted with the Hen Camp fully set up for you and the tribe, ready for use. Prices are based on a tent occupancy of 5 x hens per tent. All sleeping tents are 6m in diameter and are very spacious inside, plenty of room for luggage and drinks!

Each tent is equipped with the following inside – carpets, raised single camp beds with mattress toppers, sheets, duvets, pillows, cushions, throws, side table, rug, lantern, mirror and eye masks.

Outside there is pretty bunting, welcome mat for shoes and twinkling fairy lights on each tent.

You also have access to 3 x picnic benches for your sole use during your stay, along with car parking adjacent to the camp.

Festoon lights in the trees complete the look and for the oh so important pics for the ‘gram.

£120 per person NO ELECTRIC

£130 per person WITH ELECTRIC

THE AMENITIES

The on-site facilities include 2 x unisex showers and toilets which are available for use 24 hours a day. Electric hook ups next to your bell tents are also available you select the electric option when booking your camp.

The Hook and Hatchet has a large restaurant, beer garden, outside bar during the summer months and also a delicious burger shack. They are very accomdating in terms of catering so anything in particular you’d like, just ask! Previous clampers have had breakfast one of the mornings upon request and they will, where possible, give priority bookings for your stay should you wish to eat or drink in the pub.

THE RULES

The venue are very relaxed in terms of what you can and cannot do during your stay.

Previous hen camps have arranged for their own silent discos, DJs, acoustic singers, cocktail making classes and such like. The site just asks you to be aware of other campers up on the main camping area (no drum and bass at 3am!) but it is a very relaxed site with the emphasis on enjoying yourselves during your stay!

If you are bringing BBQs for cooking, please ensure these are raised off the ground to protect the ground from scolding and being damaged for future use. We ask that you dispose of all your rubbish in the numerous bins provided around your hen camp and this includes all rubbish from inside the tents too.

There is a no fire pit rule at this site.

You are free to bring your own alcohol into your hen camp.

There is a minimum requirement of 15 x hens for hen camp. You can of course have a smaller party size but the price will be for 15 should the party size be smaller than this number

    So, this bloody ‘C’ word has caused a bit of a s**t storm over the last few days hasn’t it. We know that many events due to take place aboard will either be cancelled in the next 5-6 weeks or alternative plans will need to be put into place for Plan B to continue your celebrations.


    PLAN B

    If your Plan A celebrations have been cancelled and they can’t simply be postponed, we can offer you some help with planning a Glamping Event with your hens, stags, birthday buddies or family members to make an awesome Plan B come together.

    If you have to rearrange, our packages start from £50 per person for the entire weekend and this includes hire of our fully furnished Bell Tents with boho decor, raised beds, carpets and chic accessories.


    HOW CAN WE HELP

    If your cancelled event was due to take place during April, May or June we can help you gather your tribe and source a venue in the right location to pitch your bell tents for the weekend for you. We’ll do all the hard work in setting them up entirely, you just have to turn up.


    LET’S CHILL

    To help with the the emotional and mental upheaval of changed plans during this time of uncertainty we’ll be supplying our Chill Out Bell Tent for FREE OF CHARGE and this is a great communal area to shake those cocktails, get into those downward dogs or lie on the floor with sunglasses and in your PJs.
