It's getting it's first outing this weekend - just need square pans now to maximise use of space!!



I have a wooden one in mind, but thats very nice. Good find.

By the way, they company that made that one makes brilliant gear. Proper stuff, perfect for glamping/bush craft - but they are US only I believe.

WOW, what a Brilliant thread :)

Really right up our street, love the bunting, fairy lights.

Stupidly when we went camping last about 2 years ago which was the 1st time we took duvets, never again!
Ok when we went to bed but weighed 10 pounds heavier in the morning.

We went away from blow up mattresses which to be honest were not that great over to the bed things and decent sleeping bags.

Bought a couple of the wardrobes, carpet, even a mat for the front door.

Peeople called usmad, but then if you like to be confortable at home then why shouldnt you be comfortable when you are away!

I would imagine now that we have see that great bell tent and how welcoming it looks, throw cushions will be happening, fairy lights and bunting when we go in a few weeks in Essex.

Thanks for making such a great thread and please do keep the ideas and pics coming they are great and we all seem to be on the same page :)

NEWBIE, only ever been camping once, bought the tent and looking for advice :)

Jayner, is 5m the radius or the diameter? Looking at the picture it must be the radius!

It's like a showroom!!

Great ideas for my bell tent here. Rugs and bed throws and table cloths are on my list.

I have a chandelier with battery tea lights and it looks fab :-)

Robbo1876 that particular shot is 2/3 of the Emperor Bell. It's definitely our escape (wish I could keep my house looking like that).

Tentage, I'm sure you will enjoy your Bell whatever you decide to do with the inside! They are so easy to erect. Ours takes 40 mins to put up and fill (10 mins more for the Emperor).

Crystal wine glasses. Transport them in with your clothes and they are as robust as plastic (almost). Nice to have a bit of luxury and I hate drinking out of plastic glasses. Not broken one camping yet.
