Music enters the world of yurt holidays
Posted by admin on Jun 16, 2010
Yurt holidays and music? How do the two mix you may be asking. Well, with the music festival season almost upon us something is brewing in the world of yurts. Yurts are moving into the realms of music festivals!
Huh?
Yes, music festivals.
Instead of doing the traditional go to Glastonbury (or insert festival of your choice), getting soaked, flooded out and going for mud baths, now there is a new, much more civilized option.
Enter the world of yurts.
Certain ingenious and alternative thinking companies such as Yurts and Squrts have come up with a solution to the dreaded mud and soggy tent scenario and are now offering yurt accommodation at a selection of festivals. Now there is “luxury camping” by way of yurt at some of the festivals.
Justine and Simon, the founders of Yurts and Squrts (http://www.yurtsandsqurts.com) were previous yurt makers and dwellers who decided that luxury festival accommodation was the way forward and they were sure they weren’t alone in this way of thinking:
“Our mini-yurts are popping up at festivals and events all over the country and are changing the experience of festival camping as you know it! Soggy, cramped and noisy fields are a thing of the past. In the luxury camping field you can expect plenty of space to chill out, and extra facilities such as hot showers and posh loos for your convenience, plus our smiley helpful staff to make sure you have a great stay.”
What a way to experience yurt holidays. Ok, its slightly different to the traditional yurt holiday in that your interaction with the nature and wildlife (ie the festival goers) will be a little different (!) but what a magnificent way to experience a yurt and enjoy music festivals.
Yurts and Squrts will be available at Glastonbury, Electric Picnic, Camp Bestival, Leeds Fest Cornbury, T in the Park, Solfest, Rockness, 80s Rewind and the Acoustic Festival of Great Britain and many more.
Have you tried yurting by festival? Would love to hear your experiences.
