Festival season is but a couple of short months away, readers, which means minds are gradually turning to a) what tickets you should be buying; b) how you're going to afford them; and c) what designer teepee you should choose.

OK, so designer teepees aren't what you might have traditionally associated with Glasto over the years, but don't forget we're in an age of "glamping" (eesh) now. With folk such as handbag designer Orla Kiely producing all manner of funky retro-themed festival bits and bobs, it's no great surprise to see more designers getting in on the act.

Our buddies at eco-blog Hippyshopper yesterday covered the four-person Monkey Puzzle family tent (pictured), which costs £149.99 and has been designed by queen of style Celia Birtwell, as part of a range of fabulous (darling) products for 'glampers' to go on sale in Millets from 14th April. Other al-fresco accessories with Celia's signature prints include a smaller dome tent, printed wellies, golf umbrellas and a melamine crockery set that will make your festival experience a highly civilised affair.
