Booking Your Teepee Sleepover
How does the booking process work?
You will begin by selecting your preferred date, number of teepees, theme and any optional add-ons.
The available choices and prices will be shown during the booking process. Once your booking has been received, we will contact you to confirm the details and arrange a home visit before your celebration.
How many teepees can I book?
Our minimum booking is two teepees.
We can currently provide setups for between two and eight individual teepees, subject to the available space in your home and availability on your chosen date.
We also have larger teepees suitable for selected two-person experiences.
How long is a teepee sleepover booking?
Our teepee sleepovers are currently booked for a minimum of two nights.
This gives families more time to enjoy the setup without the celebration feeling rushed.

The deposit amount, remaining balance and payment dates will be clearly shown before you confirm your booking.

Can I change my booking after it has been confirmed?
Please contact us as soon as possible if you need to change your date, number of teepees, theme or add-ons.
Changes are subject to availability and our booking terms. Additional charges may apply where preparations or personalised items have already been ordered or created.

We will discuss your preferences, including colours and any important details, before the celebration.

Space and Home Preparation
How much space do I need?
The space required will depend on the number of teepees and the shape of your room.
Each teepee includes its own mattress, bedding and surrounding decorative details, so enough clear floor space is needed for the setup to fit safely and comfortably.
We will confirm the space requirements during your home visit.
Do you carry out a home visit?
Yes. A home visit will be arranged before your celebration.
This allows us to check the available space, access, room layout and proposed setup area. It also gives us an opportunity to confirm that the selected number of teepees will fit comfortably.
Do I need to move furniture?
The setup area must be cleared before we arrive.
During the home visit, we will discuss which furniture or belongings may need to be moved. For safety and insurance reasons, we cannot move heavy, fragile or valuable furniture.
What type of floor is suitable?
The teepees should be placed on a clean, dry and level indoor floor.
The area should be free from sharp objects, trip hazards, dampness and anything that could damage the equipment.
Can the teepees be placed upstairs?
This may be possible depending on access, staircase width, parking and the number of items required for the setup.
We will assess access during the home visit and confirm whether the proposed room is suitable.
Do I need to provide access to electricity?
Some decorative lighting may require suitable access to a safe electrical socket.
We use warm LED lighting and do not use real candles or open flames.
Any electrical requirements will be discussed before your celebration.
Setup and Collection
How long does setup take?
Setup time depends on the number of teepees, the room layout, access and the styling selected.
We will provide an approximate arrival window before your celebration. Please make sure the setup area is completely cleared and ready before we arrive.
Do I need to be at home during setup?
A responsible adult must be present when we arrive to provide access and confirm the setup location.
We may also need to ask questions about sockets, access or final positioning before we begin.
When will the teepees be collected?
Collection arrangements will be confirmed before your booking.
Please leave the teepees, bedding and decorative equipment assembled until we return. Customers should not dismantle or move the equipment unless we have specifically asked them to do so.
Do I need to clean anything before collection?
You do not need to wash the bedding or clean the equipment.
We ask that personal belongings, food, rubbish and any decorations that do not belong to Campfires & Sleepovers are removed before collection.
Please let us know about any spills, stains, breakages or damage before we arrive.
Safety, Supervision and Cleaning
Do you supervise the children?
No. Campfires & Sleepovers does not provide childcare or overnight supervision.
A responsible adult must remain at the property and supervise the children throughout the experience.
Can children eat or drink inside the teepees?
To help protect the bedding and equipment, we recommend keeping meals and strongly coloured drinks away from the mattresses and inside the teepees.
Any snacks or drinks should be supervised by an adult, particularly where allergies or choking risks may be present.
Do you use real candles?
No. We do not use real candles, flames or other open-flame decorations.
Any lanterns or candle-style decorations used within our setups are battery-operated LED lights.
Is the equipment cleaned between bookings?
Yes. Mattresses and reusable equipment are cleaned and checked before every booking.
Bedding and washable textiles are freshly laundered, and all equipment is inspected before it is prepared for the next celebration.
What happens if something is damaged?
Customers are responsible for taking reasonable care of all equipment throughout the booking.
Please contact us immediately if something is damaged, lost or heavily stained. Charges may apply where an item requires specialist cleaning, repair or replacement, in line with our Terms and Conditions.
Can pets be in the setup area?
Pets should be kept away from the teepees, bedding and equipment throughout the booking.
This helps prevent damage and allows us to maintain high cleaning and hygiene standards for every family.
Food and Treats
Do you provide food or catering?
We do not provide catering or prepare food.
Some optional experiences may include sealed, shop-bought treats or drink items. Product information will be provided where applicable.
Parents and guardians remain responsible for checking ingredients and ensuring all products are suitable for their guests.
Can you cater for allergies or dietary requirements?
Because we do not prepare or serve food, parents and guardians are responsible for checking all product labels and managing allergies or dietary requirements.
Please tell us about any known allergies before selecting food-related add-ons. Where necessary, an add-on may need to be removed or supplied without edible items.
Can we provide our own snacks?
Yes. Families are welcome to provide their own food and drinks.
We recommend choosing low-mess snacks and keeping strongly coloured foods, sauces and drinks away from the bedding and equipment.
Adult Teepee Experiences
Can adults book a teepee experience?
Yes. We have larger teepees that can be used for selected adult experiences.
These may be suitable for best-friend occasions, parent-and-child nights, small hen celebrations or other intimate gatherings at home.
Please contact us to discuss your plans so we can recommend the most suitable option.
