Well indeed, 2012 was the wettest UK summer on record. Been there, done it and got a (very wet) t-shirt. But, we survived and the 'podpads' are looking good again after a refurb, spruce up and repaint and, we will do it all again in 2013 - see Festivals page.

But, apparently there is a different way of doing Festivals and with a rapidly growing scene in Croatia, we wanted to be the first to bring the Boutique experience to the magnificent Dalmatian Coast.

Partnering with the lovely people from The Garden in Tisno and HIDEOUT Festivals, we are reallty pleased to announce that we will be 'doing it all again' in the fabulous setting that is Croatia. With more dates to be cionfirmed, watch this space....

So, check us out at:

• HIDEOUT: July 1-7th
• GARDEN FESTIVAL: July 3-10th
• ELECTRIC ELEPHANT: July 11-15th
• SOUNDWAVE: July 18-22nd
• SUNCEBEAT: July 24-30th
• STOP MAKING SENSE: August 1-4th
• UNKNOWN FESTIVAL: September 10-14th

See you there?!

Back in 2005, we brought you the innovative ‘podpad' and every year since, we have brought you something new and - 2013 is no exception. This year, we are shuffling our product range to make room for our new 2013 ‘bellepad'. In a ‘podpads' attempt to fight against the ever-spreading ocean of beige canvas bell tents. We commit to 'more festival colour and no more beige, please'. So, we will NOT be having any white or beige canvas this year – ‘beaupads' and ‘bellepads' will be 100% bright!

Check out our Podpads Collection page and see the new ‘beaupad' and our three different sizes of new stripey ‘bellepads' with camp beds as standard.

Each year since 2009, we have nominated 2 charities to benefit from any unreturned damages deposits. Once again this year, our chosen beneficiaries are NSPCC & GREENPEACE and, we are now pleased to announce that Podpads Ltd is able to hand over £1000 at this end of the year to these two very worthy causes.

A big Thank You to those 'podpadders' who elected to make this donation possible by electing to contribute their £25 damages deposits at the end of the 2012 season.

With Best Wishes to all our supporters for 2013 and, looking forward to a drier summer?
