Stay the night.

Glamping is available for the nights of Friday 31 July and Saturday 1 August: dance to the last song, fall into a real bed two minutes away, then wake up on-site the next morning.

Why stay

Why stay on-site?

  • It's the wedding they want

    Catharine & John have spent a year planning to get everyone in one place. The night is short if half of you scatter at 11.

  • Stumble to bed, don't fight over an Uber

    The night ends when the night ends, not when someone's cab arrives.

  • Close to the party field

    Walk back to your tent, not a late-night drive away from everyone.

The look

What it actually looks like

Start with the tent, then choose the sleep setup. Bring your own kit, keep it simple with airbeds, or add proper beds made up before you arrive.

Bookings for this event have now closed.

Wedding guests, said it best

What past wedding guests say about glamping

  • Staying meant I actually saw the bride and groom at breakfast. Different wedding entirely.

    Sam · TGG wedding guest · 2024

  • We looked across the madness - glow sticks littering the floor, empty glasses, most of the guests in bed. It was around 3am. Favourite moment of the whole wedding.

    Leanne · Bell tent + tipi wedding · 2013

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

    Rosie · TGG bell tent guest · 2025

1000s of bell tents pitched at weddings and festivals across the UK.

Common questions about staying for the wedding

  • 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 £5, double airbed £10, memory foam single mattress £25, bed frame £15, bedding set £20 per bed (double £40, king £50), towel pack £15 per person. Pick only what you want, or bring your own.

  • How far is the tent from the wedding? +

    Short walk from the party field at Woodend Cottage. Close enough for late night dancing, far enough to actually sleep.

  • Can a couple share a tent? +

    Yes. Two memory foam mattresses pushed together make a king-size bed. Add the king-size bedding upgrade if you want one duvet covering both beds. Essentials for two = £285 total.

  • Can 4 friends share? +

    Yes, and it brings the cost down to ~£101pp for an Essentials tent with real beds. Each 5m tent sleeps up to 4 (strict limit). 5 or 6 in one tent? Look at the XL.

  • Bringing kids? +

    Families are very welcome. Adults can have real beds and children can have airbeds if you want to keep the tent flexible. A 5m tent sleeps up to 4, and a travel cot can usually fit alongside the beds.

  • Never glamped before? +

    Think of it as a pop-up bedroom, not camping. Your tent is pitched and waiting, zipped and weatherproof, with bag drop on arrival and someone to show you where everything is. Beds, bedding and towels are add-ons you choose in the booking, so bring your own or have it all made up before you arrive. You don't pitch, pack or carry anything.

  • What if it rains? +

    Integrated groundsheets, sealed seams. We've never had a guest get rained on inside one.

  • Is it cold at night? +

    Late July is usually mild. Bedding sets include a 13.5 tog duvet, and tents zip fully shut. Bring a hoodie or jumper for sitting outside after dark.

  • Where are the toilets and showers? +

    On-site loos, a short walk from the tent village. Showers depend on the venue and we only list them once they are confirmed, so ask us if a shower matters to your plans and we will check with the couple.

  • How many nights is the glamping for? +

    Glamping is available for the nights of Friday 31 July and Saturday 1 August. We'll confirm arrival, bag drop and check-out timings before the wedding.

  • What time can I arrive / leave? +

    Final timings will come from Catharine & John. We'll confirm arrival, bag drop and check-out timings before the wedding.

  • What if I need to cancel? +

    Full refund if you cancel 14+ days before the wedding. Inside 14 days your spot is locked in - if anything changes, message Max and we'll do what we can.
