The look

What it actually looks like

Why glamp at Dirtfest?

Dirtfest is the new off-road multisport weekend from TBF Events - the mass-participation arm of the Brownlee Foundation. Trail runs and junior duathlons on Saturday, gravel sportive and gravel duathlons on Sunday, all on Bramham Park's private, traffic-free estate trails. Camp on site, or skip the cold October tent-pitching and take one of ours.

  • Wake up at the start line

    No race-morning drive, no queueing at the gate at 7am. You're already on site - roll out of a real bed, breakfast, warm-up, go.

  • Real beds either side of racing

    Memory foam mattresses, frames and made-up bedding. The best recovery tool at a race weekend is a proper night's sleep.

  • October camping without the faff

    Early-October nights in Yorkshire get properly cold. Our tents zip fully shut, and a duvet beats a sleeping bag. We pitch before you arrive and pack down after.

  • Racing Saturday AND Sunday?

    Doing the trail run and the gravel ride, or bringing juniors for the TriStar races? One pre-pitched tent covers the whole family for the whole weekend.

What past glamping guests say

  • “So comfortable and cosy. I'll definitely be elbowing my partner to book again next year.”

    - Rosie, TGG glamping guest 2025

  • “Way better than fighting with a tent at midnight. Real beds, zipped up against the wind, sorted.”

    - Dave, TGG glamping guest 2025

We've pitched 1000s of bell tents at weddings, festivals and race weekends across the UK - including at Bramham Park.

On-site logistics: arrival, kit, getting there

  • The venue

    Bramham Park is a 500-acre landscaped estate between Leeds and Wetherby - the same parkland that hosts Leeds Festival and the Bramham International Horse Trials. Dirtfest races use private estate trails that are otherwise off limits, fully traffic-free.

  • Getting there

    Easily accessible from the A1(M) - leave at junction 44 (Bramham interchange) and follow the event signage on the A64. Sat nav: LS23 6ND. The nearest railway station is Leeds; Wetherby has no station.

  • Camping next to friends or your club

    Tents, campers and caravans are all welcome at the event campsite. Tell us in the booking note who you'd like to be pitched near and we'll do our best.

  • No electric hook-ups

    There's no electric hook-up on site, so bring a power bank for phones, lights and bike computers. Each tent has a battery camping light.

Common questions about glamping at Dirtfest

  • Are beds, bedding and towels included? +

    No. The tent price buys the tent, pitched and waiting before you arrive, plus the styling on Luxury. Beds, bedding and towels are add-ons you choose in the booking: single airbed £15, double airbed £20, memory foam single mattress £30, bed frame £15, bedding set £20 per bed (double £40, king £40), towel pack £15 per person. Pick only what you want, or bring your own.

  • What is Dirtfest? +

    A new off-road multisport festival from TBF Events, the mass-participation arm of the Brownlee Foundation. Saturday 3 October is trail running - 5km, 10km and a half marathon - plus junior TriStar duathlons; Sunday 4 October is a gravel sportive and sprint and standard gravel duathlons. Everything runs on Bramham Park's private estate trails, fully traffic-free.

  • Which nights does glamping cover? +

    The full race weekend - your tent is yours for the whole event, one price. We'll confirm exact arrival times with your booking confirmation.

  • Do I need to enter a race separately? +

    Yes. Glamping is your accommodation, not your race entry. Enter with TBF Events - entries close 1 October 2026.

  • Is it family-friendly? +

    Yes - the junior TriStar duathlons on Saturday cater for kids from TriStar Start upwards, and the event copy invites you to camp 'with your family or club mates'. A 5m tent sleeps up to 4, so one tent covers a family.

  • Can I bring a campervan instead? +

    Tents, campers and caravans are all welcome at the event campsite, but there's no electric hook-up on site. If you'd rather skip towing altogether, that's what our pre-pitched tents are for.

Show all 16 questions
  • Is there power in the tents? +

    No - there are no hook-ups at the event. Each tent has a battery camping light; bring a power bank for phones and bike computers.

  • How cold will it be? +

    It's Yorkshire in October - expect mild days and cold nights. Our tents zip fully shut, and a memory foam mattress with a made-up duvet is a very different night's sleep from a mat and a sleeping bag before race morning.

  • Where do I keep my bike? +

    Your tent zips fully closed, and a 5m bell has room for bikes inside with you overnight. Bring your own lock if you'd rather rack it outside.

  • How do I get there? +

    Bramham Park is between Leeds and Wetherby, just off the A1(M) - leave at junction 44 and follow the A64 and event signage. Sat nav LS23 6ND. Nearest station is Leeds (about 20-25 minutes by taxi); Wetherby has no station.

  • What's Bramham Park like? +

    A 500-acre landscaped estate around an early-18th-century house - the same parkland that hosts Leeds Festival and the Bramham International Horse Trials. The gravel and trails you'll race on are normally closed to the public.

  • Can 4 of us share one tent? +

    Yes - each 5m tent sleeps up to 4, so the Unfurnished tent works out at £27.50 per person per night with 4 sharing. Strict 4-person limit for safety. Bigger club group? Book tents side by side.

  • What if I need to cancel? +

    Full refund if you cancel 14 or more days before the event. No refund inside 14 days. Full T&Cs in your booking confirmation.

  • What if the event is cancelled? +

    Full refund or transfer to another date.

  • When do bookings close? +

    Friday 25 September 2026, 7 days before the event. Tents can sell out before that.

  • Where can I find race details? +

    Distances, entry fees, timings and the event FAQ are with the organiser: tbfevents.co.uk/dirtfest.
