Festivals and Events!

2009 saw the 'podpads' travelling to more Festivals than ever before. The British weather has continued to test any festival-goer's stamina and resolve. However, those guests who stayed with 'podpads' remained dry, warm and secure through some of the harshest conditions. With friendly vibes and green grass around them and complimentary free tea and coffee, does Festival Living get any better?

Check out our Feedback page for some of their comments.

Below is a list of the Festivals where 'podpads' will be appearing in 2010. Last year in most cases we were fully booked out in advance. We are taking bookings for some festivals in 2010 already and expect the others to be live soon. So, if you feel 'podpads' is the way forward for you in 2010 then fill in out website enquiry page and we will email you when we are live for bookings.

We are usually fully booked so we recommend "Booking Early to Avoid Disappointment". If an event isn't on our list then why not CONTACT US via the CONTACT US page and ask us about it.

For more information and updates visit our "Podpads at Festivals" Facebook page.

Prices will include VAT but will NOT include entry into the Festival. In all cases please ensure that you have all necessary Festival Tickets and Camping Passes for each person staying in the 'podpad'.

Check out our 'bellepad' which be appearing at selected Festivals, ideal for families and groups of friends wishing to share space at a reasonable cost between 4 people. For more info, go to our "what is a 'podpad" page and scroll down to "what is a 'bellepad".

We look forward to hearing from you and perhaps, meeting you in the Barbeque Summer ~ 2010.
