The UK kicks off it’s festival season with the first of the big music festivals, this weekend, The Isle of Wight festival.
We took our children to this festival 6 years ago to see a fantastic line up of musicians, including the late, great Amy Winehouse, Muse and The Rolling Stones, to name just a few. We were blessed with the weather and loved the isle of Wight, which is so beautiful and laid back in a very old fashioned, secret seven go wild type of way.
We have a VW camper which we took to stay in, but now 6 years later, glamping has become a big trend with lots of options of accommodation, such as bell tents, mongolian tents and tepees.
If you are going to a festival this year and are looking for an alternative to just a bog standard tent, check out some of the amazing designs available on Field Candy.com.
These are just a few of my favourites.
As a camper van owner, I love this tent, available from Firebox.com

Don’t forget to take lights to decorate your tent to add a little bit of magic in the evening.
These are some of my essentials for a summer festival.
- Sleeping bag from Anthropologie
- Blanket from Toast
- Hurricane lantern from Awardmedals.com
- Patchwork tent from FieldCandy
- Jacket from Monsoon
- Dress from Mango
- Bag from Toast
- Scarf from Zara
- Evedon Wellies from Joules
Lets hope the summer returns so that we can all enjoy some fair weather camping!







I love the patchwork tent! Nice selection.
