Welcome to Fernweh glamping
Fernweh is perfect for Glastonbury Festival - private and secluded glamping, only a 30 min walk to Gate C (lifts may be available on request).
From fern, meaning 'far', and weh, meaning 'woe' or 'pain', fernweh is a German word which literally translates as 'far sickness' or, more figuratively, longing for distant places, or places you have never been.

The farm
We moved to Pylle during lockdown and are slowly renovating our wonderful old farmhouse. We keep chickens, grow our own veg, have planted an orchard and over 250 other trees to rebuild the woodland that was certainly once here.
Your tent can sit at the top of the field, overlooking the vegetable garden and all the baby trees, or down in the shade of the mature woods accompanied by the sounds of the stream, or be in amongst the trees – you choose! Whilst we can’t say it will be silent (you can hear the festival from the garden) it’s very relaxing, and both the sunsets and the star gazing are second to none.
The tents
Each 6m Lotus Belle Tent is fully furnished and decorated in its own unique style, and is different every year. We are mindful of our impact on the planet so opt for antique/pre-loved furniture, brought back to life with some Fernweh TLC. All soft furnishings have been ethically sourced.
The tents will be fully powered so you will have electric lights and be able to charge phones, play music etc.
Guests
Each tent can sleep up to four people, with no extra surcharges. We will equip the tent with beds bespoke to your party size and requirements, be it one double, two singles, all three beds or any other combination!
Facilities
Bathroom. You will have full use of an indoor shower (both hot and powerful), toilet and sink. This bathroom will be shared, but only with one other tent. There’s also a (freshly dug) compost toilet in the garden if a loo with a view is more your style.
Campfire. Additional firewood available to purchase.
Bar. We can’t sell alcohol, but we have an outbuilding that is dubbed ‘the bar’ and you are welcome to use this space. It has a large fridge, a chest freezer and a tea/coffee station. We would also love for you to try some of our complimentary homemade cider, made from the apples by the church in Pylle.
Parking. Free parking, please just let us know how many cars you are bringing in advance.
Washing machine. You are welcome to use our washing machine and tumble dryer - handy if it happens to be a wet year!
Storage. We have plenty of storage space for luggage that you don’t want in your tent.
The tents are on private land, surrounded by fields, but are obviously not secure. We are happy to store any valuables in the house if you wish.
Timings
We offer a six-night package, from 25 June until 1 Jul 2024 (Glastonbury Festival dates are 26-30 June 2024). This way you can beat the traffic and arrive on the Tuesday, getting a full night’s sleep before strolling into the Festival as early as the Wednesday. Believe us, it’s a great feeling not to be stuck in a car, or carrying a weeks’ worth of alcohol and glitter on that first day! Then, five incredible days later, make the most of the Sunday night and just checkout when you feel emotionally strong enough on the Monday.
Cost
The six-night package costs £3,000 per tent, for up to four guests.
No cleaning fees.
Damage deposit of £500 payable on booking, repaid (pending damage) on checkout.
Please email to discuss availability, or any special requests your party may have.
Please note that festival tickets are not included.
