Shelters Unlimited
TENT ARCHITECTURE
GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL
We have been attending the
festival as artists, building structures and providing
accommodation for getting on for 10 years.

At the 1999 festival working with some very good friends
(Graeme and Spiny) we put a tipi lightshow on in the tipi
field and in 2000 we put on a smaller lightshow and
tribal peoples slide show in the Field of Avalon.
Tipis are used as projection screens for these shows.

Our main input though is providing the best and most
comfortable tipis at the festival for people to
hire. Based at the top end of the Tipi Field facing
due east we are ideally located.
Staying in a tipi at Glastonbury is an experience not to
be missed.

Your tipi will be equiped with a full lining for privacy
and exrta security and it will have a layer of natural
coir matting on the floor, we can also supply your tipi
with backrests and a fireplace. Your Shelters
Unlimited tipi will be bright and clean, cool and
cosy.

Tipis are erected by the Wednesday before the festival
starts and left up untill Monday afternoon.
The tipi field is an excellent place to stay at the
festival, although its a quiet field there is always
loads happening, a great social scene and its not too far
away from all the action.
Check the capacity of each size tipi on the tipi page on
this site - these refer to adults so if you want to
accommodate small children count two for one adult
space. If you want to squeeze in a couple of
friends we don¹t mind but be careful around the fire if
you do.
Your tipi is delivered to the festival and put up for you
and fitted with flooring before you arrive, all you need
to bring is you creature comforts.
We take the tipis down after you have finished with them,
please leave them nice and tidy!

WOMAD
We love WOMAD. At
WOMAD we have been supplying furnished tipis and Bedouin
tents to accommodate the dedicated lighting and
production crew for the past five years. We make a
special effort for them, we furnish the tents with rugs,
sheepskins, backrests and Mexican blankets. Our
best friends at Womad are the Mystic Lights Crew who
light the flags and the main stage screens. Thanks to
Graeme, Geoff and Linda.

Anyone wishing to hire tipis on the campsite are more
than welcome to contact us and make special arrangements
to do this. At WOMAD the tipis are located in a
quite spot fairly close to wristband exchange and crew
and artists camping.
Tipis are supplied fully lined and floored and are
delivered and erected ready for your arrival at the
festival.
