Festival Tents

Festival Tents 

We often get asked what’s the best tent for a festival and that’s a really difficult question to answer as it normally depends on your budget , age , experience and the festival you might be going to . Normally if you are a festival virgin and on a budget then just about anything will do as you generally don’t care and probably won’t spend any time in your tent anyway ! you are normally happy to buy the cheapest single skinned tent you can get your hands on and a Quickpitch pop up style tent tends to tick your boxes

As your experience and budget increases people tend to upgrade to something with a little more room as you’ve now realised that 2 man festival tent doesn’t mean 2 man plus all your gear and single skinned doesn’t offer you the same protection against the elements ( on cheaper brands ) as the double skinned version do so you’ve tended to move onto a 3 Man festival tent even though there is only 1 or 2 of you

By now you are a hardened festival goer and you now camp as a large group of you ,all whom have done this before and now want a little more luxury and space because of all the additional luxury items you now bring with you ( normally a trailer full ). You have decided that you are going to spend more money and go for something that will see you through the next few festivals and might even be used out of the festival season for general camping. This normally involves a big jump from the £40 – £50 range to the £250 + and this is where the Canvas Tepee tents and large dome style tents enter the market. The POD range covers both a large 4 man and a huge 8 man plus the option of joining them together to become a festival Legend.

So in short the perfect festival tent is the one you can afford at that point in your life and delivers the comfort you’re looking for.
