Camping & Events at Home

Looking for a fun activity close to home or a way to test-run camping with the kids or can't get away because of lockdown? Or are you missing the cinema, an event or birthday? Starting in your own garden is a no-brainer.

Make a Glampsite

Do your kids love building forts? Take the fun outdoors by helping them set up a tipi or a frame style structure with sticks and a blanket.

1. Make the inside cosy by bringing in blankets and pillows from the house.

2. Get some seed fairy lights and place them in lanterns or wrap around the tent poles. Even better, get some solar seed lights. Charge them during the day and watch them glow at night!

3. Create a designated area and define the space with a perimeter of festoons.

4. Light the way by adding some solar lanterns along the pathway leading back to the house and bathroom. The lighting will come in handy! Or hang them outside your teepee for that little wow effect at the entrance. 

5. Loosely weave some solar festoons through the tree branches and watch them glow as the sun starts to set and darkness falls. Suddenly the garden has that magical vibe! 

6. Get a little fire pit going. The flames coupled with your warm white string lights will instantly make you feel all cosy and warm. 

Bring the Cinema Home 

Now you don't normally get this on a camping trip so up the style and add in some 5 star entertainment. 

Set up a mini projector and stream a movie against your fence, house, or a white bedsheet. Easy!

Or if you want to make it a bit more child friendly throw in a rug, some bean bags and cushions, popcorn and special drinks for your wee tribe! 

Solar festoons are a great choice if only wanting light once darkness falls and you don't have any outdoor power points.
