Mandrel: a tapered tool against which material can be forged, pressed, stretched or shaped.

This spacious, 5m fully furnished bell tent sleeps 2 adults in a king-size bed with electric heated blankets. We also allow up to 2 children under the age of 14, however, we do not provide kids beds or bedding - THIS MUST BE BROUGHT WITH YOU.

The bell tent sits on a raised deck with mains electric power, giving modern comforts whilst deep in nature. From this Westerly-facing tent, you can enjoy staring out onto the setting sun from your king-size bed, whilst sleeping under the colourful handmade macramé hangings, before waking up snug and cozy in your toasty bed, listening to the birds outside.

The bell tent platform has a 2m decked terrace with a further optional 2m porch canopy. The bell tents are furnished with hand-made furniture, bright funky rugs, stunning lighting, and heated electric blankets to keep you toasty, all supplied with bedding and blankets (but not for kids if bringing them). Each bell tent has its own coloured macramé interior theme, made by a local maker and designer.

The four bell tents make up Drifters Village in Liberty Field on the top side of the site. After a short walk through some trees from the parking area, you will first enter The Hub. Here you will find all the facilities, including the shared kitchen, and dining area. There are also toilets and showers here.

Exiting The Hub from the double doors at the back you walk along a short path towards the bell tents where you will find them on gently sloping ground with views on to Bakers Wood (our newly planted woodland) and the giant Tipi at the bottom of the site known as The Hardy Hole. Here you will find a huge fire pit for chatting around the fire in the evenings and possibly the occasional fire show from our resident blacksmiths!
