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 together, wedding, and sporting event or anything else we'd be more than happy to pop together a bespoke quotation for you.

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.

In recent days our enquiries for Coleman Event Shelter spares have increased a little , we are wondering if perhaps customers are planning a little out of season use. Always remember your Coleman Event Shelter is designed for occasional use and long periods of use in the garden may deteriorate the Flysheet over time , they are readily available to buy as spares and reasonably priced too! The Coleman Deluxe Event Shelter offers a little more protection being Waterproof & steel Poles , we would always recommend taking your event shelter down between uses.

Your garden is a great place to enjoy any time of the year , cosy up around a fire table in the evenings with one of Netherton Foundry's Pure Iron Fire Tables , available in 2 sizes and arriving very soon at IBEX Camping 

Enjoy a little outdoor feasting with an Netherton Foundry  outdoor hob , or chapa table both from Netherton Foundry and made from Pure Iron too! Built to last and give many years of use. Or why not an outdoor tagine , all made in the UK , with either a hand thrown and decorated Netherton Foundry Outdoor Tagine with ceramic tagine top or Netherton Foundry Outdoor Tagine hand spun copper tagine top , these make a lovely gift too!  The Netherton Foundry Chapa  is available as a solid top table ... great for the stove top too! makes perfect english muffins ..... tried and tested by the team @ IBEX Camping or with a The Netherton Foundry  Chapa BBQ top to give a more traditional chargrill effect to your food , combine with a Chapa fire table to protect your grass. The Netherton Foundry Outdoor Hob lasts for up to 4 hours from one single fill of charcoal , with a grid top you can cook directly on top too! stays warm for up to 7 hours , the Netherton Foundry Outdoor Hob is also the base for the Outdoor Tagine too. 

A little chilly to cook outdoors? why not enjoy a hot chocolate with a Ghillie Kettle , available in 3 size and made in the UK the ghillie kettle is incredibly popular amongst forest school establishments and give an opportunity for the whole family to engage in nature a little while enjoying a hot chocolate! Which size should you choose? out most popular size is the  1.5l Adventurer Ghillie Kettle with the 1.0l Explorer a close second ...to use a ghillie Kettle you fill the outer kettle with water , then light a small fire in the base , anything organic will do , then simply place the kettle on top (never let the kettle boil dry or put on the fire empty) the whistle stays in place so you know when the water has boiled. Then simply add some hot chocolate powder and enjoy!
