Johnny Vegas invites you to come and join us for a stay in one of the magical Field of Dreams vintage glamping vehicles here at Melbourne Hall.
After a hugely successful and sell-out first Summer season, Johnny Vegas brings his Field of Dreams vintage vehicle glamping to Melbourne Hall in 2023. Booking is open now for stays from the beginning of April!
Our rates for accommodation are the same throughout the season.
2023 – Minimum Night Stay Check in Monday – Check out Wednesday – 2 Nights Check in Wednesday – Check out Friday – 2 Nights Check in Friday – Check out Monday – 3 Nights
Choose from eight very different vehicles, each with its own personality and story, and each transformed into stunning glamping accommodation.
In addition to the five vehicles premiered in the first series of Johnny’s acclaimed ‘Carry on Glamping’ on Channel 4, Melbourne Hall is excited to be the first to offer three new accommodation choices, each of which will be featured in the upcoming second series of Johnny’s programme.
There really is no other glamping experience like this available in the UK!
Bedding and towels are included in your stay, along with all the other amenities you could need. Just bring yourself, clothes and your favourite foods and enjoy staying in your choice of unique and wonderful vehicle.
All vehicles have mains electricity, and access to fresh drinking water. And all guests are provided with a welcome tray of tea, coffee, milk and sugar, and some tasty local biscuits.
Since our sell-out season in 2021, the Field of Dreams team has been busy rescuing and restoring three more exciting and wonderful vehicles to join our original five. We can’t wait for you to meet them, and to welcome you to our new home at Melbourne Hall!
