How we ran the glamping at Krankenhaus Festival and Stormin' the Castle this summer, from first booking to the last tent coming down.
A four-night music festival at a castle on the Cumbrian coast, and a two-night bike rally in County Durham. Same model at both: the organiser gave us a field, we did everything else.
Guests flew in from Canada and came by train with just a rucksack. Several have already asked to be held a tent for 2027.
For some riders it was the only way they could come this year. A bell tent with a proper bed opened the rally up to people who can't rough it any more.
"Our group of 4 reserved a glamping tent from you for Krankenhaus Festival. We loved it! The tent was sturdy, waterproof and the beds were very comfortable. We had a small issue with the zipper of our tent and you fixed it quickly after we let you know. We would definitely use your glamping again and hope to for Krankenhaus 2027!" Lauri Aunan, Krankenhaus 2026, who also took the photo
Rain is when festival camping goes wrong and complaints land in your inbox. Ours landed as reviews instead.
"We have been bringing our own camping equipment from Canada to the UK to attend Krankenhaus Festival for the past 4 years. The offer of a glamping tent, already set up and waiting, was impossible to resist. We loved it."
Laurie P. · Krankenhaus"Loads of room for a family of six. Beds unbelievably comfy. We wouldn't have ever experienced Krankenhaus without the luxury of your tents, so thank you."
Will T. · Krankenhaus"At certain points the rain was monsoon like but the tent handled it all. The company were easy to deal with and the prices were fair. We will definitely use them again."
Alan E. · Krankenhaus"We booked it as we needed [a] bit more comfort due to my wife's health, [it] was [the] only way we could do Stormin this year. Spacious and beds very comfortable and warm."
Anthony O. · Stormin' the Castle"Bell tent was spotless, beds were so comfy and it had everything we had asked for. The communication from the guys was great from start to finish."
Pippa H. · Stormin' the Castle"Top notch experience. Bell tent was sturdy and comfortable and most importantly kept the rain out! Overall an excellent experience and a good addition to the festival."
