GLAMP AT
Friday 28 to Sunday 30 August 2026
Sea Power's micro-festival at a haunted castle on the Lake District coast. Your tent is up before you arrive - just walk in and drop your bags.
The look
Krankenhaus is the micro-festival brought to you by Sea Power, Muncaster Castle and friends - music, talks, fell walks, birds of prey and steam trains on the wild western edge of the Lake District. It sells out its limited capacity, and it's a long way to carry a tent. We pitch yours before you arrive.
The DJs run to about 1am on festival nights. When you're done, your bell tent is already up in the camping fields - no fighting poles in the dark.
Glamping covers the full general-camping window: arrive Thursday 27 August, leave Monday 31. Add beds, bedding and towels only if you want them.
Muncaster is gloriously remote - Ruskin called Ravenglass 'the gateway to paradise'. Come by train or one car-load lighter; the tent is already here.
Campsite closes 6pm Monday. You get on the road; we wrestle the canvas.
“So comfortable and cosy. I'll definitely be elbowing my partner to book again next year.”
- Rosie, TGG glamping guest 2025
“Way better than fighting with a tent at midnight. Real beds, zipped up against the wind, sorted.”
- Dave, TGG glamping guest 2025
Krankenhaus returns for its sixth edition in 2026 and sells out its limited capacity. We've pitched 1000s of bell tents at weddings, festivals and events across the UK.
Fresh water, hot showers and toilets are in the camping fields and at the Gateway Cafe, with more toilets at the Old Barn and Courtyard. Eco-friendly shower products only, please.
No vehicle access to the campsite. Park in the festival car park (sat nav CA18 1RD, just off the A595) - the campsite is no more than 400m away through the castle main gate. Weekend parking passes are sold by the festival.
Stick to the A595 - the festival's own advice is to ignore sat nav shortcuts over the fells. By rail: Ravenglass station is a short walk away, reached via Carlisle from the north or Lancaster/Preston from the south.
Tell us in the booking note who you'd like to be near and we'll do our best, though we can't guarantee it.
Festival ticket, warm layers, waterproofs and a power bank - there are no electric hook-ups on the campsite. Bedding only if you didn't add it to your booking. The Pennington Hotel village store covers essentials, 8am to 10pm.
Ravenglass is the national park's only coastal village, inside two UNESCO World Heritage sites. It's remote - sort lifts and supplies before you set off.

No. The tent price buys the tent, pitched and waiting before you arrive, plus the styling on Luxury. Beds, bedding and towels are add-ons you choose in the booking: single airbed £15, double airbed £20, memory foam single mattress £30, bed frame £15, bedding set £20 per bed (double £40, king £40), towel pack £15 per person. Pick only what you want, or bring your own.
A micro-festival at Muncaster Castle brought to you by Sea Power, Muncaster Castle and friends - live music, talks, fell walks, birds of prey, steam trains and a full kids' programme on the western edge of the Lake District. 2026 runs Friday 28 to Sunday 30 August, with names like Stereolab, Sea Power, Sprints, Charlotte Church's End Times Pop Dungeon and a talks line-up including Stewart Lee.
Four nights: arrive from midday Thursday 27 August, leave by 6pm Monday 31 August - the same window as the festival's general camping. One price for the tent, however many of those nights you use.
Yes. The extra Monday night is +£35 per tent, or stay the full week from Tuesday 25 August for +£75 per tent - both include the festival's extra night / Long Stay camping pass. Email events@theglampinggroup.com after booking and we'll add it.
In the festival camping fields at Muncaster Castle, no more than 400m from the car park through the castle main gate. Music runs at the Home Farm Barn and Glade stage areas from early afternoon.
Fresh water, hot showers and toilets are in the camping fields and at the Gateway Cafe, with further toilets at the Old Barn and Courtyard, plus an accessible toilet. The festival asks everyone to use eco-friendly shower products.
No - the festival has no electric hook-ups on site. Each tent has a battery camping light; bring a power bank for phones.
Krankenhaus itself is famously dog-friendly - dogs on leads in the arena, and there's even a best-of-fest dog competition. If you'd like a dog to stay in one of our tents, email events@theglampinggroup.com before booking so we can confirm the setup.
Very. Under-3s go free, there's a dedicated kids' programme with an adventure playground, enchanted trail and giant swing, and festival tickets include free entry to Muncaster Castle, its gardens and the birds-of-prey flying displays.
By road, stick to the A595 - don't let sat nav send you over the fell roads. The car park is adjacent to the A595 at CA18 1RD. By rail, Ravenglass station is a short walk from the castle, reached via Carlisle from the north or Lancaster/Preston from the south, with local taxis for luggage.
There's no vehicle access to the campsite - the festival sells weekend parking passes for the car park, and campervans have their own field beside it (passes from the festival, no hook-ups). The walk from car park to campsite is 400m at most.
Our 5m bell tents sleep up to 4 people; the 7m XL sleeps up to 6. Strict limits for safety. Groups of 5 or 6 are switched to the XL automatically in the booking.
The XL package above is the 7m tent with the essentials setup at £300. A stripped-back empty 7m is £260 and the luxury-styled 7m is £340 - email events@theglampinggroup.com and we'll book either for you.
Late August on the Cumbrian coast can turn chilly and damp - the festival's own advice is 'pack for all weathers'. Our tents zip fully shut, and a memory foam mattress plus made-up bedding beats any sleeping bag.
DJs run to around 1am on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The Luxury package welcome pack includes ear plugs and an eye mask.
Yes - a shared Essentials tent works out at £60 each for all four nights before add-ons. Two memory foam mattresses push together for couples.
Full refund if you cancel 14 or more days before the festival. No refund inside 14 days. Full T&Cs in your booking confirmation.
Full refund or transfer to another date.
Yes. Glamping is your accommodation, not your festival pass. Tickets are sold by the festival at krankenhausfestival.com - weekend tickets include general camping and free access to the castle and gardens.
Friday 21 August 2026, 7 days before the festival. Tents can sell out before that - Krankenhaus itself regularly does.
