Festival Ready: The Art of Turning a Field into a Five Star Experience

There’s something a little bit magical about arriving at a festival and realising your “tent” has a bed, lighting, mirrors, and actual space to stand up. It’s that moment when the idea of “roughing it” politely steps aside for “ah, this is living.”

At Hotel Bell Tent, that’s the moment we design for. We turn open fields into mini hotels — the kind with proper duvets, mood lighting, and a sense of calm among the chaos. You bring your wellies and glitter; we’ll handle the rest.

Over the past decade, we’ve learned that comfort and community are the two things festival-goers crave most. So our team works round the clock (literally) to make sure that when the gates open, your home-from-home village is ready — warm, stylish, and completely effortless. From boutique weekenders to world-famous festivals, every site we build is a mix of precision logistics and a little bit of magic.

Behind the scenes, it’s organised chaos: trucks loaded at sunrise, tents unfurled in perfect symmetry, furnishings placed just so. It’s all part of the ritual — our version of soundcheck — and it’s what makes that first night under canvas feel like the start of something special.

Because for us, glamping isn’t just about luxury. It’s about creating spaces where people connect — where conversations stretch long into the night and mornings begin with the smell of coffee and the sound of laughter drifting through canvas walls.

A field is just a field until someone brings it to life. And that’s what we do best.
