Festival Hire

Staying in a tipi or yurt has become a familiar alternative to the usual festival tent, offering more space, a proper bed and a bit of shelter from the British weather. A number of UK festivals now set aside fields for these structures, either as part of their general camping or as a separate glamping area.

Below is a round-up of festivals where tipi and yurt accommodation is available, organised by date through the 2026 season and into 2027.
