Husband and wife organisers James and Sarah Martin, who first launched the event five years ago to bring their Glawning customers together, say next month’s event is to be double in size, such is Glampfest’s popularity,.

Set to take place from Friday, May 12 to Sunday, May 14 at Market Flat Lane between Scotton and Scriven, Glampfest promises campers even more fun activities, live music from local talent, abundant street food and hand-crafted produce to enjoy.

Co-owner Sarah Martin said: "Everyone is welcome to this year's festival and don’t need to own a Glawning to attend.

"It’s going to be one big party of gorgeous glamping, great food and drink and great live music from local bands."

Glampfest was set up by VW enthusiasts James and Sarah Martin in 2017 off the back of their award-winning business Glawning Ltd which was founded in 2013.

The couple were looking to improve their camping set-up and were searching for a more luxurious way of camping with their vintage campervan.
