About this property
Spacious Bell Tent Nestled in Our Orchard Field at Edinburgh Festival Glamping!
Set in a tree-dotted field on the peaceful Drum Estate, Edinburgh Festival Glamping is a rural retreat that’s particularly popular among artists and festival-goers attending August’s world-acclaimed arts jamborees in Edinburgh. Accommodation is in spacious bell tents (sleeping up to five guests) with all bedding supplied, so you can move straight in, get unpacked and soon be watching performances at venues throughout the city.
And of course this quiet spot is not just for festival fans; at 10 minutes’ drive (or 25 minutes by bus) south-east from the centre of Edinburgh, it’s a budget-friendly choice that’s handy for anyone wanting to see the sights of Auld Reekie or simply craving a relaxing countryside break.
On site you can expect convenient amenities like secure parking, shower rooms and a dedicated chill-out zone equipped with a bar, barbecue area, gaming stations and charging points. Staying at the glampsite also allows you access to walking trails on the Drum Estate.
A range of takeaways, cafés and shops – from traditional Scottish pubs to artisan bakeries – are within 10 minutes’ drive of your pitch, and there’s a convenience store five minutes away if you’re looking for a quick top up on supplies.
