Bell tent hire.

[Blib]

Next May, to celebrate Mrs Blib's mumblemumble birthday, we're taking a whole load of friends Glamping at a place in Hampshire called Meon Springs. We need to provide another six bell tents as Meon doesn't have enough accommodation for us all.

I've googled a few companies that provide a bell tent hire/erect/dismantle service in and around Hanpshire and I was wondering whether anyone on here has used a company that you could recommend or indeed, suggest that we avoid?

We need five furnished bell tents (not tipis, far too expensive) and possibly a communal tent to hold 40 people for if the weather turns bad.


Thanks.

Yup! Baylilly Bell Tents are amazing! It's run by a good friend of mine, but I have seen her stuff (oh err...) at various wedding fairs so can vouch for it rather than just being biased! I know she has a lot of tents that are on permanent hire at big venues around hampshire already, so the ones there might already be hers, but if you give Emily a call, she'll be able to help!

Terrific!!! I'll check that out. Thank you.

Our babysitters parents own 'Pakkah Tents' I've been to alot of events where these have been used. They're fantastic

Thanks for that, we're looking for a marquee too.

Emily's (from Baylilly bell tents) husband also runs 3 men and a marquee! Never dealt with them before but I did a wedding car fair in one of their marquees a couple of months ago and it seemed nice!

Ok. Emily emailed me. Shes away until Monday when she will call to discuss the bell tents. I'll ask about the marquee too. Hanls

I've just booked 8 bell tents and a "Big Betha" from Emily at Baylily. Another PH suggestion success story.

Thanks, Jonboy_t !

Meon Springs is in a lovely location, very quiet little valley.
