Vicky Meets: Louise McDonald - Event Manager at Plush Tents Yurt Village

My husband founded the business when he returned from travelling in 2012. He asked a landowner friend if could put tipis on a bit of his land and it went really well – we were offering glamping before the word existed!

A few years later we moved to this spot, which 30 years ago the same landowner had been given a grant to plant trees on.

So it was very natural but also very overgrown.

Over the years we have transformed it into a beautiful natural oasis, but with the city just down the road.

My husband is quite nomadic, so he knew how to do all the practical stuff with the yurts.

I came along with a corporate events background and took on the marketing element.
