Why a Bell Tent Might Be the Best Investment You Make This Year
In a world increasingly defined by fast-paced living and digital overload, there’s something truly magical about slowing down, unplugging, and reconnecting with the natural world. Whether you're a seasoned camper or just someone looking for a unique space to escape to, a bell tent could be your next best purchase.
What’s So Special About a Bell Tent?
Bell tents are more than just tents—they’re an experience. With their classic canvas shape, spacious interiors, and cosy atmosphere, bell tents bring an old-world charm that regular nylon tents just can’t match. But they’re not just pretty to look at. They’re also incredibly practical.
Here’s why so many people are falling in love with bell tents:
1. Glamping-Level Comfort
A bell tent is like the cozy cabin of tents. You can stand up inside, walk around freely, and even fit a real bed, furniture, and decor. With the right setup—think fairy lights, rugs, and a wood-burning stove—it transforms into a luxury retreat in nature.
2. Quick and Easy Setup
Despite their size, bell tents are surprisingly simple to pitch. With just a central pole, guy lines, and a little practice, you can have your tent up in under 20 minutes. Check out our video's here for how to set-up your bell tent - Instruction Videos
3. Adaptability
Think beyond the camping - Bell tents have become popular for workshops, kids play rooms and hosting spaces. Their versatility is one of their biggest strengths. Our Emperor & Touareg tents are super spacious and great for a multitude of uses.
4. Durability
Bell tents can last years and years if they're looked after properly. Our bell tents are 300gsm, fire retardant and treated for rot and mildew resistance. Our tents also have a zipped groundsheet to allow you to take off the canvas and send for cleaning and re-proofing - making your tent last even longer. Unlike a lot of tents, you can swap out the poles if they get damaged for spares and even buy covers to protect your canvas. This makes the investment much more worthwhile.
5. Holds Second Hand Value
As bell tents are so iconic and very durable, they hold their value if you want to sell yours on after years of adventure. Or if you're looking to upgrade to a bigger sized tent. If you've looked after them, they can hold up to 75% of their original value.
A Bell Tent is a Lifestyle
When you invest in a bell tent, you’re not just buying canvas and poles—you’re investing in a lifestyle of slower mornings, starry nights, and meaningful escapes. Whether it becomes your weekend getaway, creative sanctuary, or family hangout zone, a bell tent offers space to breathe and dream.
