Music festivals in the UK are a highlight of summer, whilst sleeping in a tent isn’t. If you’re heading to Glastonbury, Reading or the Isle of Wight and want to keep your home comforts close by whilst you enjoy it, hiring a motorhome for a music festival might be the answer.
Traditional tent camping certainly has its charm, but nothing beats the comfort of a proper bed, a hot shower and a proper meal to set you up for the day. When you hire a motorhome for your next festival adventure, you can reap the benefits whilst still enjoying the live music and good vibes.
Why hire a motorhome for a music festival?
Comfort and convenience
No longer see the allure of waking up in a damp, cramped tent? A motorhome offers the comfort of a real bed, a roof over your head, as well as your own kitchen and bathroom facilities. It’s a home away from home, and after a long day of dancing and singing along to your favourite artists, the appeal of returning to a comfy bed is undeniable.
Shelter from the elements
If you’re going to a UK festival, you have to be prepared to face any kind of weather. Rain, mud and cold nights are all a possibility. But with motorhome hire, you’re protected from the worst of it. You can relax and stay warm and dry without having to worry about soggy sleeping bags or flooded tents.
Personal space and privacy
Hiring a motorhome for a festival provides you with your own space to retreat to when you need a break from the bustle and busyness. Whether you want a little quiet time to recharge, or a private spot to get ready, a motorhome provides that luxury.

Power supply and charging options
You can keep your phone, camera, and other devices fully charged while you’re at the festival without worrying about extra power banks or stopping at charging stations.
Booking a motorhome: What you need to know
Advance booking: Music festivals are busy periods for motorhome hire, so it’s important to book early to avoid disappointment.
Minimum hire: Ensure that you book ample time for picking up before the festival and a day or two after the festival finishes so you have time to return to the motorhome.
What’s included in the hire cost?
- Insurance: Our motorhome hire packages include insurance for the duration of your hire.
- Petrol: Your motorhome comes with a full tank of petrol, which you need to ensure is full on return.
- Basic equipment: Our motorhomes come equipped with a range of kitchen items; you’ll just need to bring your bedsheets, towels, etc.
Driving a motorhome to a festival
If you have a standard UK driving licence, you can drive most motorhomes. However, always double-check the vehicle weight before booking.
Most festivals have designated motorhome camping areas, and you must book a spot in one. So ensure you have done this before you head to the festival.
