GENERAL NEWS BURNET BELL TENTS Housians Harry (2015) and Archie (2017) Burnet set up Burnet Bell Tents. Their mother, Bridget Burnet, bought three bell tents sleeping up to 8 people for Harry’s 18th birthday party. Rather than sell the tents on, the brothers decided to rent the tents out, fully furnished, during the summer of 2020. The brothers received an incredible amount of interest, putting up 30 tents during July and August alone and donating £10 per tent hired to the NHS charities. The business is based in Towcester, Northamptonshire, and covers a radius of 20 miles, although Harry and Archie are happy to travel further afield.
