Barkers Marquees<br />

www.barkersmarquees.co.uk<br />
At Barkers Marquees we have<br />
been making ‘peg and pole’<br />
marquees for over 100 years.<br />
Our marquees are stunning<br />
and particularly suited to rural<br />
venues with their wooden poles<br />
and finials. Each marquee<br />
is modular in design, so can<br />
be extended to any length.<br />
Our marquees meet British<br />
Standards for structural<br />
stability and fire retardancy.<br />
Barkers Marquees offers three<br />
types of pole marquee: Celeste,<br />
Petal and Traditional, in a range<br />
of translucent fabrics that glow<br />
at night time events. We offer<br />
free training on construction,<br />
de-rigging and maintenance<br />
upon marquee collection from<br />
our workshop (Surrey/Kent<br />
border, Junction 6, M25).<br />

ULTIMATE INSULATION WITH<br />
STRAW BALE PODS<br />
SA Carpentry<br />
0787 201 2901<br />
www.sacarpentry.co.uk<br />
With 10 years of experience<br />
building with straw bales, we’re<br />
now focussing on designing<br />
and building luxurious<br />
glamping pods and lodges.<br />
Our team will work closely<br />
with you to design bespoke<br />
glamping units ensuring<br />
they are perfect for your site.<br />
Construction is completed in<br />
our workshop before the pod/<br />
lodge is transferred to your<br />
location, resulting in minimum<br />
disruption. The straw walls have<br />
amazing insulating properties<br />
so these pods and lodges<br />
are useable year round with<br />
minimum heating required.<br />
They are built to an incredibly<br />
high standard, with both<br />
your needs and those of your<br />
customers in mind.<br />

www.newleafthc.co.uk<br />
Here at New Leaf we design,<br />
create and install beautiful,<br />
sustainable treehouses. We want<br />
to draw you away from the typical<br />
structures that adorn every<br />
glampsite, towards something<br />
that will immerse your guests in<br />
nature’s quiet luxury, creating<br />
a unique experience to be<br />
remembered and shared. We are<br />
building up a small but perfectly<br />
formed range of treehouse<br />
designs (from £15,000) that will<br />
help to bring your woodland to<br />
life. Take a look at our website,<br />
sign up to our mailing list or visit<br />
us at our show site and workshop<br />
in West Sussex. Everyone should<br />
wake up in a treehouse.<br />
OFF GRID GLAMPING<br />
Plain Huts<br />
07903 313922<br />
www.plainhuts.co.uk<br />
Customers love to stay in remote<br />
scenic spots with stunning<br />
views. Unfortunately these don’t<br />
often come with an electric hook<br />
up and mains sewerage! This hut<br />
from Plain Huts can be placed<br />
anywhere there is running<br />
water. It uses solar power for<br />
the lighting and sockets, gas for<br />
the thermostatically controlled<br />
shower and single hob, and<br />
incorporates one of Plain<br />
Huts’ own, in-house designed<br />
compost toilets.<br />
With the wood burning<br />
stove, memory foam bed, and<br />
your stunning location, your<br />
customers will be coming back<br />
for more.<br />
