There’s something magic about The Magpies Festival — and sorting the right accommodation can make a big difference. If you’re looking for The Magpies Festival accommodation that’s cosy, calm and already set up when you arrive, you’re in the right place.
Maybe it’s the sound of music echoing through Sutton Park’s ancient trees. Or the way the crowd feels like a big, friendly village. Or that moment when the sun dips and fairy lights start to glow around the food stalls and stages.
It’s the kind of weekend that stays with you.
But let’s be honest: how you sleep shapes how you remember it. There’s the version where you fight with tent poles in the rain, and there’s the version where you arrive to find your bed made, your lights already glowing, and your own quiet space waiting for you.
That’s where our boutique bell tents come in.
Camping at The Magpies Festival (And How to Make It Easy)
Camping is all part of the festival charm — waking up to birdsong, strolling over for a morning coffee, staying late without watching the clock. The Magpies Festival offers on-site camping in the beautiful grounds of Sutton Park, and it’s a lovely setup. But if you’d rather not pack the kitchen sink (or sleep on a slope), there’s a simpler option. Book Here
We offer pre-pitched bell tents, just a short walk from the action. It’s your own little patch of calm — fairy lights, soft rugs, fresh air, and zero hassle with poles or pumps.
A Folk Festival That Feels Like a Secret
The Magpies Festival takes place from 8–9 August 2025 in York’s Sutton Park — a sprawling estate with ancient trees, open lawns, and room to breathe. It’s a celebration of folk, roots, and acoustic music with a thoughtful lineup and a laid-back atmosphere.
This year’s artists include Elephant Sessions, Baskery, Julian Taylor, Mishra, Rob Heron & the Tea Pad Orchestra, and of course The Magpies — with more still to be announced. Alongside the music, you’ll find creative workshops, local food and drink, family activities, and a crowd that’s as friendly as the music is good.
