A very different set up for us last week where instead of a wedding at Llyn Gwynant Barns we played host to the Love, Hope, Strength charity event. The charity was set up by Mike Peter’s of The Alarm fame and his indomitable wife Jules who are both cancer survivors, Mike is actually currently undergoing treatment.

It was a fantastic weekend of walking, swimming, great food, laughter, fantastic music, relaxing by the lake and staying in our bell tents 😀
We heard stories of how cancer can effect all of us. Stories full of love, hope and strength. Feeling really inspired and humbled by how wonderful humans can actually be.

Also our biggest set up of the year. 30 tents fully dressed in the sweltering heat. Love and gratitude to The Bear Necessities crew for once again smashing it. The tents went down so well we have been invited to provide the glamping option at next years fundraiser in a yet to be disclosed location🐻

Love, Hope, Strength 💜

We are delighted to once again be providing the glamping option at Llyn Gwynant Campsite near Beddgelert. All the lakeside bell tents come with a proper double bed for the ultimate in camping comfort.
At the moment we have special midweek deals before the summer holidays.

This is Bobi. As the camping season comes to end in Snowdonia Bobi is about to start at his new school in Pushkar, Rajasthan in Northern India.

Some of you may know that all of our colorful soft furnishings are sourced from a brilliant woman called Daisy who works with the local gypsy community in Pushkar setting up various projects and enabling them to sell their crafts to people all over the world. We love everything she sends us and are totally committed to helping all be it in a small way.

Thank you to all who have stayed in a tent this year as a small amount from each visit has been put toward a fund to send Bobi to private school for a year. He’s a brilliant, intelligent young man who will really deserves a chance to make his life a better one not just for himself but one day also for his family. You can’t change the world but you can change someone’s world. Go on Bobi lad, you show them!

We have had a great fun summer down on the campsite. It’s been brilliant meeting so many fantastic people and so good to see folk returning from last year to have their second or third visits to the tents. As a small family business set up just before the pandemic I’m am so very greatful to all of you for your continued support.
We still have some of the season to go and have fingers crossed for an Indian summer. Loads of space available all through September and October so get in touch for any more information 🐻

There’s nothing more we like at The Bear Necessities than a good old wedding. Despite many of them being postponed until next year we have felt really privileged to be involved with some absolutely brilliant weddings this year and it’s been really nice to spread our wings and have tents at some other fantastic venues. Thanks and good luck to all the beautiful couples 😀💜
