Fandabidosy!!

Well. Here it is. The fabulous stretched limo as promised a little while back.

This is the smaller of the two versions we have and it was christened by 16 lovely Liverpool Lasses who had it for a salsa festival in Sevenoaks.  


Interestingly although the field was empty when we arrived as other campers arrived - and, with no encouragement at all - they all left a space in front of the yurt. In the end it formed a kind of ceremonial avenue leading down to the yurt.

Something to do with the subconscious power of simple forms I suspect!!

Anyway the girls had a fabulous time on their hen night - quite made everyone’s weekend by the sound of it!

New Yurts for old

As the summer gathers pace and we take our first Christmas booking (yes!), we’re just about to see the arrival of two new tents.  

First is the long-awaited 26ft yurt with red woodwork which is just stunning.

We’ve always liked the red interiors as they create such a fantastic atmosphere - and with room for 70 people to sit down to dinner or stand up to dance this yurt will fit a space in the slightly-larger-party slot. 

Second is another of our Mongolian Marquees - the stretched limo of the yurt world.   At 33ft long, it’s smaller than our 45 footer but it still carries over 500 sq ft of space and is every bit as impressive, every bit as cool and - dare I say it - every bit as bling as it’s bigger brother.

Lots of pics to come.  Just as soon as we have a chance to put them up!!

Stretching a point - is that a marquee for hire?

With the maximum number of people fitting into our biggest yurt sitting well below the hundred mark it has become clear that we need to take action. 

100 seems to be the magic number for most large family Continue reading ‘Stretching a point - is that a marquee for hire?’

Y-art for Y-urts sake.

The problem with Rothko paintings is they are just so fabulously expensive. 73 million dollars at last count for just one little painting - well quite a big one actually.

So we thought as a bit of an homage to the late great Mr Rothko that we would commission four works of y-art to hang in our y-urts.


And here they Continue reading ‘Y-art for Y-urts sake.’
