lights as the Luxpad benefi ts from 240 V electricity. T is type of accommodation mixes quirky styling with luxury so it’s chic and cosy as well as being eco-friendly (they are powered by big sunfl ower shaped solar panels). Once you’ve chosen a festival you’ll need
to know what to pack for your glamping experience. First and foremost you will need to invest in a good pair of wellington boots. Hunter has a wide range, our favourite being the original neon boots, which have a strip of colour at the base and heel. When it comes to toiletries Korres have come to the rescue with their Summer Festival Kit. T is contains a selection of beauty must haves including guava shower gel and body butter, chewing gum, cleansing wipes and a lip butter stick. Add to this some sun protection just in case the weather does decide to improve and pick up ‘T e Multiple’ from Nars. It’s a multi-purpose makeup stick for eyes cheeks and lips and comes in a variety of shades, saving you luggage
space for fabulous festival outfi ts. Oh, and don’t forget your umbrella. Selfridges do a super slim umbrella in canary yellow; perfect for standing out from the crowd. If you’re not a festival fan but you like the idea of being out in the peace and quiet of the countryside then there are many options out there for you to choose from. A lot of glamping companies, for instance, set up their accommodation in the grounds of beautiful stately halls or on stunning stretches of coastline. Safari Cornwall, for example, has a six metre ‘Emperor’ bell tent set in a Cornish orchard with a neighbouring tent just for storing luggage and sports equipment. T e tent has a double bed and a day bed, both with mattresses and duvets, a fridge and a microwave. T ere is even a hot tub for added relaxation – what more could you want? T e beaches nearby make this a perfect destination for groups of family and friends looking f or adventure.
Or, if you’re after a really unusual experience then head to West Lexham, a glamping paradise in a country house setting near King’s Lynn in Norfolk. T ey have a variety of accommodation but the most unique is the tree house, a romantic leafy retreat kitted out with double bed, vintage furnishings, solar fairy lights and hanging lanterns. A stay in the tree house includes access to the onsite facilities which includes swimming pool, wild swimming in the nearby lake, tennis court and croquet lawn to name but a few. Local caterers provide luxury hampers so there’s no need to take a trip to the supermarket and, if it’s a special occasion, the lovely staff can organise a candlelit meal for you in a gazebo by the lake. So whichever style of accommodation you
choose for your glamping experience this summer, there’s no need to worry about battling with tent poles or shivering in a sleeping bag. Glamping is the perfect solution for those seeking an escape in the countryside without sacrifi cing style or comfort.
