Camping Blog Camping with Style | Travel, Outdoors & Glamping Blog

Following the government revealing their roadmap for easing us out of lockdown, from March 29th 2021, a maximum of 6 people from 2 households will once again be allowed to meet up in outdoor spaces.

Coleman event shelters

Being able to meet up outdoors from March 29th is great, but the British weather is unlikely to cooperate making a gazebo or shelter a must for garden get-togethers
