So, What Can You Expect From Your Stay at Birkdale Glamping During Championship Week?

By now, most golf fans know July 2026 is going to be huge for Southport. With the world’s oldest golf championship returning to Royal Birkdale Golf Club, plans are already being made, tickets booked, travel sorted, and accommodation filling up fast.

But one question keeps coming up:

What can I expect from a stay at Birkdale Glamping during Championship week?

Proper Comfort. No “Roughing It”

Let’s clear one of the most important things up first. This isn’t just camping, this is Birkdale Glamping.

Our beautiful luxury bell tents are fully furnished with real beds, proper mattresses, lighting, and cosy interiors. After a day on your feet, the last thing you want is a flimsy airbed and a cold sleeping bag.

You still get that outdoor, summer atmosphere, without sacrificing a good night’s sleep.

Because long days at Royal Birkdale deserve a comfortable night.

Everything You Need, All in One Place

One of the biggest advantages of staying at Birkdale Glamping is how easy everything becomes. You won’t have to go anywhere else. 

We’ve partnered with Scottsdale Golf to create a festival-style experience, bringing everything you need together in one place:

• On-site bars

• Food vendors

• Social spaces to relax and unwind

• Live entertainment throughout the week

Start your morning with a coffee before heading to the course, then come back to food, drinks, and a buzzing atmosphere in the evening.

No taxis. No searching for last-minute tables. No splitting up your group.

And if you fancy a slower day.  Stay on-site and keep up with all the action on our big screens - you won’t miss a moment.

A Short Walk to the Action

The Atmosphere Is What Makes It

Comfort and location matter, but what guests remember most is the atmosphere.
