2021 discover Tent Hire , Our Family Team Creating Camping Adventures




With Summer of 2020 being a little not quite as we expected , we worked hard to ensure that we were still able to offer our Tent Hire Service .  It took a little time , to make sure we had everything in place to keep everyone safe , but we finally got clearance from our insurance company during July.  And were delighted to be able to offer Tent Hire for the last few months of the season. 

We are looking forward to a 
busy 2021 season. We'll also be celebrating 10 years of Tent Hire with very fond memories of our first 'tentative' no pun intended :) year at a much loved event! 

For the 2021 Season ....We have introduced our 
Safe hands booking policy  just in case things are still a little unsettled still. Your booking is in completely safe hands ... If you need to cancel for any COVID related reason or due to local or national restrictions we will be issuing a full refund of any payments received.

Why we started our tent hire service .... Being  
family campers ourselves  we understand that trying camping may be a little daunting ... will everyone sleep ... will we like it ... how much will it cost.... So we launched our Tent hire Service, giving families a great way to try camping without the initial what can sometimes be a costly investment and to make sure everyone is enjoys.... not that we think there is any doubt :) 

As we took a look at the service we decided we wanted to go a little further and  introduced Try Before You Buy if you do love camping and decide to buy a tent , we're more than happy to deduct your daily hire charges from the price of your new tent - A great way to try before you buy too! 

I'd like to try camping in the back garden..... #Gardamping 

Inspired by Summer 2020... if you  would love to try a little #gardamping or back garden camping .... we're reducing our minimum hire period to 2 days so you can enjoy an overnight camp out in your back garden , a great place to try camping for the first time too! 
 The perfect opportunity to engage little ones in nature close to home. 

 Where do I get my hire tent from , you are more than welcome to come and collect your hire tent from us  @ IBEX Camping in Little Paxton , Cambridgeshire  or we can deliver to your home address or campsite address too!  

 I've never pitched a tent before, your tent will come with a full set of instructions. If your collecting in person we talk you through the pitching of your tent and answer any questions you may have. If we're delivering we are more than happy to answer any questions , our team will always ensure that your hire tent meets your requirements ... we're always on the end of the phone to offer advice. 

We can pitch too.....  We have missed pitching tents this summer and are really looking forward to resuming our pitching service in 2021 , our experienced family team are able to pitch locally within a 40 mile radius or a little further afield for group bookings or weddings , events etc ... 

As the years have gone buy we have adapted our tent hire service to suit all camping adventures  so whether you’re planning your first camping trip with the family, a group get togetherwedding, and sporting event or anything else we'd be more than happy to pop together a bespoke quotation for you. Our Family team of experienced campers will create the perfect bespoke package for your event. 

Popping over to Cambridgeshire or Camping locally, we work with several local campsites you can collect your tent from us or we can pitch too ready for your arrival at site, then simply leave and we'll pop back to de pitch. We are working over the winter months with Top End Campsite, Little Stoughton to offer ready pitched Bell tent hire too! 

Can I hire any tent.... We are delighted to be able to offer a full range of Tents to Hire from backpacking tents to Family inflatable tent and everything in between we are also delighted to offer Bell Tent Hire for something a little different ... we are looking forward to adding Cabanon to the range in 2021 too!  We also offer a full range of Camping Equipment to hire , from beds to lights and everything in between!

Why hire a tent....  Our hire tents set off on their camping adventures for many reasons , new campers wanting to try before they buy , campers who don't want to store the tent and equipment , family groups so everyone can enjoy the camping experience as well as group bookings or weddings , sporting events and many more ...Finally but by no means least is a world where we are all trying to be careful about our choices and help save the environment , Hiring a tent is a great way to help a little by  not having unused tents and equipment stored and then disposed of.
