May Madness: Shower Renovations, Belsay Abandonment & Glamping Giveaways


May started with so much excitement. Despite several setback with our (unexpected) shower renovation project the summer ahead was looking very hopeful, the ground was drying out from a monsoon like winter and we had begun to build a solid support team for our glampsites this summer.

Through the initial weeks of may our shower block renovation took precedence, and very slowly, with many helping hands and even more trips to tool station, the unit began to take-on a more luxury shape.

As the final week of preparation approached we begin to prepare for the task of moving the site we had created to the first of our locations, Belsay International Horse Trials. We visited the two sites and Trade Stand location (next to Land Rover 🤯), that our Luxury Glamping Tents would feature in and excitement hit an all time high.

The final push came, our bespoke toilet block made by Glampoo arrived and all that remained was to build a few BBQs and errect our tents when thunder quite literally began to strike....

Within a few short but violent torrential rain showers the site at Belsay Estate became saturated and the show site began to fill with water. The very sad but responsible call was made to abandon the International Horse Trials for 2024 with the interest of safety at the forefront of everyone’s minds.

After a few days downtime our minds began to look forward to Belsay 2025 and the remainder of our Luxury Bell Tent Sites here in Northumberland this summer. Our next site, at High Angerton just outside of Morpeth is due to open on 13th June and we have a few exciting guests lined up to join us. 


Keep your eyes peeled for our next giveaway in partnership with Manson’s Property Consultants as well as many more exciting updates to come as we enter the final preparation period for our Luxury Glampsite in Morpeth Northumberland.
