Profile:
We are tent magicians, making tipis, yurts, tent palaces and other canvas tents since 1998. A nomadic life style has always been close to our hearts and, through the years, we have lived in the tents we made and travelled in the live-in vehicles we built, leaving a pattern of campsites and tents behind us. All our tents are made to a gloriously high standard and our yurt cover making skills are second to none... We are amongst the most affordable yurt makers in the UK, but probably make some of the best quality tents in the country - we try to use more and more traditional methods, and we now use our own mobile sawmill and cut our own wood. One of our specialities is making yurt covers at a distance from measurements, providing covers to most of the UK yurt campsites, even some yurt makers rather come to us than make their own! In the last years we have created a complete after sales service, to help people to maintain their tents so campsites never have to worry about their covers again, Our time is also shared these days between the UK and Abruzzo, Central Italy where we are building Heartland, our own yurt campsite, the Spirits Intent Centre for Transformational Events. It is a wild mountain land between two rivers, in front of the “sacred Majella mountain”. We have created the Heartland Association to help develop sustainable tourism in marginal rural areas of Abruzzo and further afield, as well as encouraging organic farming practices in the area. Rural mountain areas are suffering from dwindling economies as a de result of depopulation and we have taken our experience in glamping to where it can make a difference, by helping farmers and land owners create an income from their land with a small glamping site. It's easy to become a member and there is so much to do...
