Wedding Glamping Bell Tent Hire
Who says your wedding has to finish at 11pm? Not us, that’s for sure.
Who also says that your wedding celebrations with your nearest and dearest need to be just for the one day? Absolutely not us!!
Having the option for a wedding glamping bell tent village for you and your guests is the perfect way to continue the party into the night, surrounded by the cackle of a camp fire, cocktails still flowing with the glow of our twinkly fairy lights in the background.
Waking up with your nearest and dearest after the celebrations over a cup of something hot and relaxing outside your bell tents is something magical.
Our wedding bell tent hire options suit all budgets, group sizes, location and comfort.
You can hire bell tents from us yourselves on behalf of your wedding guests or for those clients that want to reduce the amount of wed-min, let us take over the bell tent hire bookings direct for you on behalf of your guests with a dedicated booking page just for you.
Bell tent hire from us is the perfect alternative wedding guest accommodation option, often cheaper than booking a taxi and all the more

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.

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

The Hook and Hatchet has a large restaurant, beer garden, outside bar during the summer months and also a delicious burger shack.

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

Dewdrops and Daydreams was the inspiration, the concept and the design was by the talented The Wedding Dolls and the location at our favourite DIY woodland wedding venue, Longton Woods.
Each image was magnificently captured by the fantastic Jasmine Andrews and the entire team of suppliers all worked together to pull some serious wedding inspiration.

Bell Tent Village Hire
When you are planning a wedding, party, event or festival; one of the things to consider is where are your guests going to go once the party is coming to a close. Are you sending them on their merry way home in a taxi or does your venue, garden or field have the space to accommodate your guests and a Bell Tent Village.
We’ve detailed below our top tips when deciding whether you want a Bell Tent Village at your event
DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH SPACE
First thing to consider is whether the area which you are wanting to set up the Bell Tent Village is large enough to accommodate the estimated number of bell tents you envisage your Bell Tent Village may have. We have various bell tent sizes and lots of ways to configure the Bell Tent Village; they can be set up in a straight line, horseshoe, as a street, dotted around or staggered. There is no limit to the design which we can come up with for how the village will look given the space available.
If you have enough space – book your venue and contact us with details of the event, date and venue.
We will need to have direct access to the site and will require enough room for large long wheel based vans and low loaders to enter the site to set up
HOW DO YOU WANT YOUR GUESTS TO BOOK THE BELL TENTS
Next thing to decide upon is who do you want your guests to book and we have two options available for you
- The first option is that you, as the event organiser, block book a certain number of bell tents on your guests behalf.
- The second option available is that we can deal with enquiries, bookings and payments direct from your guests. We set your event a bespoke and passworded booking area on our website dedicated just for your event. You simply pass on the link and the password to anyone invited to your event, they complete the booking form and pay their deposit online.
To secure either option, we require a small deposit to secure your event in our diary
If we are managing your bookings directly, you will also be sent an online booking worksheet which is updated each time we receive a enquiry or booking, you can instantly see via your link
Bell Tent Village
WHEN DO YOU WANT THE BELL TENTS TO BE SET UP
The day before (usually a Wednesday , Thursday or Friday) we arrive at the site and being to set up the Bell Tent Village to ensure they are ready for guest arrival in plenty of time if your venue allows this. We can set up on the morning of the event of course if this is this only option which your venue will allow
OTHER THINGS TO CONSIDER FOR YOUR BELL TENT VILLAGE
We do not supply electricity so if you want to ensure your guests have electricity, you will have to arrange for power to reach the village, usually via a generator. If you didn’t want to arrange for electric to reach each bell tent, perhaps think about having one extra bell tent which can run mobile phone chargers, hair dryers, straighteners etc
If you have toilets or are hiring showers for your guests, make sure that you can have water running to the area where you are setting up the showers. Try and place the showers and the toilets within a decent walking distance from the Bell Tent Village
If there is a little bit of a walk from the party area to the glamping Bell Tent Village, you might want to consider some lighting along the walk way so guests are directed to the village
