When it comes to the midweek or weekend getaway camping might not be everyone’s cup of tea. But glamping, now here’s a trend that has exploded in popularity over the last few years.

More people are switching their leaking tents and pop up stoves in favour of hot tubs, wood burners and relaxing views. Luxury glamping lodges provide enough of the outdoors while allowing for the creature comforts.

Glamping also lets people celebrate events in a unique location; so whether it’s a birthday, anniversary or retirement party below are five reasons to hold your next celebration in a luxury glamping lodge.

1. The venue

There are a lot of things to think about when it comes to organising a party. The first of which is finding and hiring the venue. Most locations can only be hired for a couple of hours but can be expensive. With a luxury glamping lodge, you can make the most of your surroundings. If the weather is nice, then what better way to celebrate than in the outdoors.

2. Make a weekend of it

Just because a birthday or anniversary falls on one day of the year, doesn’t mean that you have to celebrate on that day only. Most people like to make the most of their celebrations, which is why extending it over a few days is worthwhile. And best of all you don’t have to use the time sitting around airports or train stations when everything you need is right at your fingertips.

3. On-site facilities

Most luxury glamping villages have onsite activities and restaurants that you can make the most of. Here at Hencote, we have wine tours and tasting experiences as well as The View Restaurant, Bar & Balcony where you can have a delicious lunch or dinner and relax with a glass of estate wine or cocktail.

4. The great outdoors

Shropshire is blessed with some amazing views, none more so than from our luxury glamping lodges. Escaping to the country is the perfect way to unwind in a relaxing environment. If you’re hosting a party then your guests can leave their worries behind and focus on enjoying the celebrations.

5. No need to rush

Glamping allows you and your guests to go at their own pace. Whether you just want to relax with a glass of wine in the hot tub or take a walk in the Shropshire countryside, there is something for everyone. It could be a wine tasting weekend or cooking masterclass, whatever the occasion you’ll find something to fit your level of activity.
