Established Premium Glamping Hire Business – Yorkshire & North Lincolnshire
Award-winning with confirmed 2027 bookings and full handover
Overview
For six years, this business has supplied luxury glamping villages for weddings, festivals, corporate events and private parties across Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire. It is known locally for a premium service and has the reviews, awards and venue relationships to show for it.
The owners are selling only because of a change in family circumstances. A buyer will take over a proven, profitable operation ready to trade from day one of the 2027 season, with clear room to grow regionally or nationwide.
Key Financials
Average annual turnover: £74,000
Net profit before tax: £48,000 (after all staff costs)
Business assets: over £46,000
Why This Business Stands Out
The business has a strong margin with minimal owner input. On-site work is managed by a seasonal supervisor with a team of casual staff, so the business can be run alongside other commitments or added to an existing portfolio without the buyer needing to be at every event.
The business holds exclusive supplier agreements (transferable contracts) with three wedding venues and is a recommended supplier to several more, giving it a steady flow of repeat bookings. Its 2027 season is already underway, with confirmed bookings and deposits secured, and there is an enquiry list for 2028. The booking total for 2027 is constantly increasing so get in touch for an up to date figure.
Its reputation is well established. It has won a Start-Up Award, been named in the EB100 twice and been featured on leading wedding blogs. It also has more than 40 five-star Google reviews.
It also brings in customers steadily online. The website ranks on the first page of Google for several key search terms and draws around 6,600 visitors a year, supported by an Instagram following of 3,300.
The business has two revenue streams: mobile glamping hire for events, and long-term hire contracts with businesses.
The Sale Includes
Glamping stock and equipment, plus a large branded van and a smaller support van (total assets over £46,000)
Confirmed 2027 bookings with deposits, and an enquiry list for 2028
Exclusive supplier agreements with three wedding venues, plus recommended-supplier status with several others
An established operating model, with on-site delivery run by a site supervisor
Website, Instagram account, and a library of professional photography, customer images and marketing material
Lease on a storage unit with industrial shelving and office, with no minimum term, so the business can be relocated
Full operating procedures, documentation and management tools
Handover support and optional training from the current owners ahead of the 2027 season
Ideal For
The business would suit an investor or someone seeking a semi-passive income alongside other work. It would also fit an events, hire or hospitality company adding glamping to its services, or an owner-operator who wants to take on the admin and grow the business further.
Growth Opportunities
The operating model is already delegated, so a new owner can spend their time on growth rather than delivery. The main routes are national expansion, more corporate and festival contracts, and wider marketing.
Additional Opportunity
A complementary camping e-commerce business can also be bought. Established in 2020 and acquired by the current owners in 2024, it sells quality bell tents and camping equipment. It is available alongside the glamping business or separately, and details are available on request.
Price: Open to offers
Sale Type: Assets & Goodwill
Serious enquiries are welcome, and full financial details are available on request.
