The rooftop camping pods have solar panels, heating, a king-sized double bed, a cooker and fridge, a hot shower, a toilet and many other features that are ideal for pre-wedding getaways or mini-moons. Andrew Clark, the founder of Wild Camper Trucks, says: “My love of the great outdoors began with Scouting and Duke of Edinburgh Awards and has now evolved into creating the ultimate wild camper truck experience. This business began as my side hustle but is quickly becoming my main business. The addition of the outdoor cinema to the already luxurious camper trucks just brings that extra wow factor. Whether it is night time Netflix or a romantic movie, this experience will make memories for life. I care about the planet, so I offset the CO2 emissions and donate to DEC’s Turkey earthquake relief (as my camper trucks are made there). I also support Trash Free Trails with a vehicle donation for a couple of their events. There are complimentary eco-friendly cleaning products supplied with each camper truck to ensure no nasty chemicals enter the water table.” Wild Camper Trucks is available for adventures in Scotland and the Lake District and works with responsible wild camping location finders to ensure the best experience with minimal impact on local communities or the environment. The trucks can be collected from Kendal or Inverness or delivered to other UK locations for an additional fee.

Looking out on the stunning shores of Lake Windermere, the Grade II listed Victorian mansion guarantees scenic views paired with historic charm, making it a dreamy location to say ‘I do’. Fully licensed for civil ceremonies, the hall is situated within Fallbarrow Holiday Park in Bowness-on-Windermere and is suitable for intimate weddings of up to 50 guests, with accommodation for 36. Recently renovated, all areas of the hall have been enhanced to highlight its striking period features with modern touches. For those looking to relax in style post-wedding, the property also boasts two new hot tubs. Couples can choose to host their civil ceremony on the spacious lawn, making the most of the gardens with unspoilt views of the lake and full jetty access. There are also a host of additional experiences that the venue’s in-house team can recommend to make the day truly unforgettable, including the option to host a drinks reception on a boat out on the lake. Fallbarrow Hall gives couples the flexibility to source their own suppliers but can also provide a list of trusted local companies, from event styling to food and beverage, making the planning process as stress-free as possible.
