Our Story

From side hustle to running our own lifestyle business

We’re James and Sarah, a husband-and-wife duo with a lifelong love for campervans.

Our journey began in 2010 when we bought our very own Type 2 Brazilian Bay Camper and set off on countless adventures. Two years later, we found ourselves searching for a stylish, more comfortable alternative to the standard grey nylon awning—but it simply didn’t exist. Never ones to back down from a challenge, we decided to create our own! As we travelled to campsites and festivals, fellow campervanners fell in love with our glamorous bell-tent driveaway awning and wanted one for themselves. So, in 2013, Glawning was born!

Our innovative glawning’ quickly became a must-have for campervanners across the UK and beyond. Since going full-time with Glawning Ltd in 2016, we’ve expanded our product range (and our family—hello, daughter!). We've also built an incredible community of Glawning owners and even launched our very own annual festival, Glampfest.

You’ll often find us, along with our fantastic Glambassadors, traveling the UK, exhibiting at festivals and shows—come say hello!

Over the years, we’ve won several business awards, including scooping the National FSB Award for Best Micro Business, and we’ve had the privilege of working with Johnny Vegas on his Field of Dreams glampsite, as featured on Channel 4’s Carry on Glamping.

At Glawning, we believe awnings can be glamorous too! Our products bring the luxury of home to your outdoor adventures, and after more than a decade of enjoying our own glawnings, we wouldn’t have it any other way!
