As I wake up I hear the howling wind outside and my first thoughts go to the recently repaired canvas roof on one of our units. I then check the weather reports, it is going to get worse before it gets better. What can I do I have been here before? 1. Finish my morning coffee, not a lot will change in the next 30 minutes. 2. Get into my wind protection clothes and go an inspect. 3. Check every guy rope, tighten any loose, flapping canvas is more likely to cause damage. Repair any guy ropes that look damaged. I did this late last year so I should be OK. 4. Check the areas repaired, I’ve got some more ‘type a’ tape so I might add another layer as reinforcement. 5. Double check hot tub lids are secured they have a habit in the past of turning into huge frisbees. 6. Finally make sure any item that could blow around is secured. Then time to hunker down and wait for the storm to pass.

We recently installed a fully DDA safari tent on the Sandringham estate which will provide holidays for the disabled community (for give me if that's not the correct term) Its worth taking a look at as this is a much under addressed part of the glamping market place. There is a 3d walk through link below. We had to pass some quite stringent rules and regs, the kitchen and bathroom are compliant. The tent includes two adjustable beds as well as standard beds for family, carers etc https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=5ctPMuRWUMR

I had a very interesting conversation with one of the major UK glamping shows yesterday taking about the future of the large shows. They have some great ideas around adding theatre experiences and encouraging sharing rather than telling. While Clear Sky used to attend both the NEC and Stoneleigh, in recent years the public interest has waned, foot fall is down, number of exhibitors is less and the general feeling is there are better on-line ways of researching your glamping dream. Since then we spend more of our marketing budget exhibiting at conferences such as NFAN, Hoseaons, BHHPA and The Forum. These have all proved more valuable for both us and the attendees. More time to chat through ideas plans and dreams, more of an exchange of information, we learn as much as the attendees learn. So it was interesting to see a new initiative from the people behind the Glamping Show, The Euro Forum. Take a look New 2026 Event: The Glamping Show European Forum | The Glamping Show While it seems a little rushed this year, (it is only in March) I suspect this is how things will move in the future.
