The owners of Borris House Estate have been kind enough to allow a small number of stylish tent structures (bell tents, yurts, teepees) into their private garden and orchard, right beside the festival. These wonderful, roomy spaces come with bed, double mattress, fresh bed linen and fluffy pillows, duvet, blankets, and some other surprises for the guests who decide to take the plunge.

The area is quiet at night. Hot showers and lavatories are right there. We will do our very best to make sure you have a very comfortable stay with us, and that you can make the most of the festival at night, as well as the nearby pubs and the exceptionally good Step House Hotel restaurant at the end of the drive. We also serve coffee in the morning, and our food stalls are generally up and going for late breakfast too.

The cost of a Bell Tent is €450 for 2 nights, and sleeps two in great comfort. We know these seem pricey - and they don't even include the event ticket - but we have tried every tent company and this is the best value there is.
