Chalke History Festival 2026

Comfortable glamping just minutes from the world's largest history festival.

22-28 June 2026

A comfortable base for the festival

The Chalke History Festival (CVHF) 22-28 June 2026 is the largest festival dedicated to history in the world. Our glamping site is located approximately 10 minutes by car or 15 minutes by bike from the festival grounds.

We can offer a peaceful and comfortable solution for festival-goers who want to enjoy the programme without roughing it. Our furnished bell tents are great for those who don't fancy pitching their own tent, and the safari tents offer even more space and comfort.

Please note: We are not associated with the history festival. We are an independent glamping site located nearby.
