Welcome to 'The Glamp In Company'
Hi, I'm Michelle and with my husband Tom and our two children we have set up 'The Glamp In Company.' We love our annual camping/glamping trips and it was following these that my daughter decided she would like a teepee party for her birthday, so that her and her friends could camp with a touch of glam in their own teepee tents in her bedroom!
After lots of research and looking for themes she liked, she chose something which wasn't available at the time, a rose geometric theme! So I set about finding all things geometric and rose gold to work with the ideas she had.
Following that we thought we could simply make the teepee tents ourselves, however after lots more research we soon realised that they needed to meet certain requirements. We found out that teepees are classed as toys, as a child enters them and they have 'play value' and so were required to be CE tested to meet safety standards, particularly if being used for a business. Then came the idea to use the teepees that we planned on making for a business, as I have always loved planning my children's parties and any events family/work over the years, so it was the perfect opportunity to do something I really enjoy and have a passion for.
Then the real work began, my husband Tom and I spent many months designing, making and having our teepees tested by an independent labaratory. This was to ensure that the wood, fabric and other components that we have sourced didn't contain any nasty chemicals and the structure would be structurally safe, as well as burning slow enough to allow a child time to escape should the worst happen. We finally have peace of mind knowing that the teepees we are hiring to you have passed CE testing and are safe for childrens sleepovers and events.
After this long learning curve and lots of time and energy spent, I have loved every minute of choosing items to decorate the themes, I say I, as my husband isn't so interested in the shopping side of things! I think I may be a secret shopaholic ;) Based on my childrens suggestions of what other children will like, we now have four themes to offer for our teepee sleepover parties and events, you can view these on the 'services' tab of our page.
Our teepee sleepover parties are aimed at children aged 4 and upwards and can be set up in your home, styled and ready for your party. We pride ourselves on ensuring everything provided to you has been thoroughly cleaned, along with freshly laundered bedding. We believe in making sure our teepee set ups look the best they can be for your party guests. We will then return the following day to collect everything, leaving you to relax.
In addition to our individual teepees, we have our beautiful picnic set ups with our CE tested grande lace teepee and our luxury canvas bell tents (fire retardant) for you to experience our safari themed glamping! All of which we can bring to your home and set up in your garden ready for you to create some new magical memories.
At this moment in time we are respectful of the current government restrictions in relation to coronavirus and have procedures in place to ensure that we are following guidance and can offer you a safe set up and collection.
