Bell Tent Hire in Gloucestershire & Wiltshire – Why Choose Bell Tents?
Bell tents offer the perfect mix of comfort, style, and flexibility. Unlike standard tents, they stand out beautifully into the countryside and create a relaxed, boutique vibe — ideal for weddings, parties, festivals, or even family gatherings.
Top reasons to choose bell tents:
Natural aesthetic – Classic cream canvas that blends seamlessly with outdoor settings.
Ultimate comfort – Furnished options come with beds, rugs, lighting, and cosy décor.
Flexible layouts – Great for guest accommodation, chill-out lounges, or getting ready areas.
Fully mobile – We deliver, pitch, and dismantle – so all you need to do is enjoy.
Pro Tip!
Book early for summer weekends! Peak dates in June, July, and August often fill up months and sometimes a year in advance. If you’re planning a wedding or festival, securing your tents early ensures the best availability and layout options. Check if Glastonbury festival is running on your dates and bear in mind this has a huge knock on effect to suppliers and your guest’s availability.
