There’s something magical about gathering everyone you love in one beautiful place. This summer, Great Farm Glamping in Whelford, Gloucestershire, offers the perfect opportunity to create unforgettable memories with a complete site takeover that brings together up to 20 guests across our six distinctive camps.
Your own private retreat
Imagine having the entire farm to yourselves. A total takeover means no strangers, no sharing facilities, just your extended family and closest friends enjoying the Cotswold countryside together. With six individual camps and additional space for tents, there’s room for everyone to join the celebration, whether it’s a milestone birthday, family reunion, or simply an excuse to escape the everyday.
The perfect hub at Barn Owl Camp
We suggest that Barn Owl camp becomes your social heart, where stretch tents provide the ideal setting for long, lazy lunches and evening gatherings. Picture trestle tables laden with food, fairy lights twinkling overhead as the sun sets, and the sound of laughter echoing across the fields. It’s the kind of space where memories are made, from morning coffee catch-ups to late-night storytelling around the fire.
Space to breathe and play
The beauty of our sprawling fields is that there’s room for everything. Children can run wild, organising impromptu football matches and garden games, while adults relax with a book or join in the fun. The open spaces mean everyone can find their own rhythm, whether that’s energetic play or peaceful contemplation beneath the Gloucestershire sky.
Together yet separate
One of the greatest advantages of a total takeover is the thoughtful spacing of our camps. Spend your days together, but when bedtime arrives, retreat to your own peaceful sanctuary. Grandparents aren’t kept awake by excited grandchildren, and different generations can maintain their own schedules without compromise. It’s the perfect balance of togetherness and tranquility.
Flexible catering options
Dining is entirely your choice. Our in-house chef can take the stress out of feeding a crowd, creating delicious meals that let you focus on enjoying your time together. Alternatively, embrace the self-catering option and make meal preparation part of the fun, gathering everyone for a collaborative cooking experience.
Explore the Cotswolds
Beyond the farm gates, Whelford’s stunning location offers endless opportunities. Gorgeous walks wind through quintessential Cotswold countryside to charming local pubs and cafes, where you can sample regional delights and soak up village atmosphere. For the more adventurous, numerous local activities await, from cycling to visiting historic sites.
A total takeover at Great Farm Glamping isn’t just accommodation; it’s a chance to slow down, reconnect, and create the kind of summer memories that will be treasured for years to come. Book now and give your loved ones the gift of time together in one of England’s most beautiful corners.
