If you have any questions regarding our bell tent hire, hopefully they are covered below. If you have any further questions please contact us.
About the Tents
What size are your bell tents?
Our bell tents are 5m canvas bell tents with the new 2m door height design, to make coming and going easier. Every tent has a zipped in ground sheet which means on super hot days you can unzip and fold up the sides.
How many people can your tents sleep?
We base our bookings on 4 people per tent, which leaves plenty of room for everyone. However, each tent can sleep up to 6 people.
Are the tents waterproof?
Yes. The tents are extremely waterproof. Each tent is coated with a waterproof membrane so you can be assured you’ll be dry and cosy inside. Just remember to keep the doors and windows zipped up in the event of bad weather.
Is bedding included in the hire cost?
This will depend on the package you select. Our ‘deluxe, honeymoon & romantic getaway’ packages include all bedding in the hire cost. For our ‘Classic’ package or if you require additional bedding, double and single packs are available from our extras.
Is there any power inside the tent?
There are no power sources in the tent and all lights are run from batteries. We do however offer a USB solar powered charger in our extras, which means you can keep your devices topped up.
Is lighting provided inside the tent?
Yes! We have lovely warm internal LED fairy lights and a hanging lantern inside the tent. Some packages have an additional outdoor lantern with shepherds hook, or you could add it as an extra.
Can you cook inside the tent?
No. There must be no naked flames inside or close to the tents. If you would like to cook we ask that you do this outside. From our extras you can hire either a cooking kit, (containing a camping stove), or our BBQ/Fire Pits that also include complimentary wood.
What size pitch will I need to book for the bell tent?
Our tents are 5m in size and with guy ropes supporting the tent, you will require at least a 7-8m sized pitch.
