New for 2024, Nine Yards Bell Tents have teamed up with Farrington’s Farm to offer our first ever, family only glamping site.
Glamping on a budget
Based in Farrington Gurney, a mere 13 miles from the centre of Bristol and 10 miles from the centre of Bath, our glamping site is a children’s dream come true with a soft play barn*, the Little Pottery Barn, where you can create your own ceramics, the Farm Park with its outdoor play area, straw pool, slip and slide plus the chance to pick your own sunflowers too**!
There’s an onsite farm shop packed to the rafters with delicious, organic produce, direct from the farm; locally sourced jams, cakes, chutneys, baked goods, ready meals and over 50 cheeses which are all perfect for putting together a picnic for your day trips; fresh meat supplied by Tunley Farm Butchers and a wide range of alcoholic drinks, for parents to unwind with too.
And if you don’t fancy cooking, there’s the traditional fish and chop shop, the main cafe and play barn cafe, which both offer a selection of fantastic homemade fare for your delectation.
Our luxury 5m bell tents are generously spaced and feature real beds with winter tog duvets, 2 pillows with a throw per bed. There is also matting throughout, a solar lantern, small table, mirror, general bin and recycling bin. You can find out more about our tents here.
The glamping area has hot showers, flushing loos, sinks for hand/dishwashing plus benches, tables and bbq/fire pits for your use too!
