The Merry Fiddlers Certificated Site

This medieval church, with parts dating from the 1100s, stands next to the grounds of Stansted Hall. The setting is peaceful despite the convenience of the nearby motorway and airport. It contains two exceptional seventeenth-century tomb figures, those of wasp-waisted Hester Salusbury in her hunting clothes and her father Sir Thomas Middleton.

Up to two good dogs are very welcome – or three, if they’re very small…

Stansted Mountfitchet, Essex – St Mary the Virgin

Sparrows Campsite has 6 luxury Bell tents available in the main wildflower meadow, each one named after the different variety of trees that are found in the woodlands surrounding the campsite.


The tents are set in their own private “settlement” in the meadow surrounded by a woven fence barrier to making it feel like you’re in your own wild off-grid camp! You’ll find everything you need for your stay within your settlement, but the emphasis is on keeping it simple at the same time. Each area has a campfire at the heart of the settlement with seating as well as an outdoor dining area too. 

The Bell tents are fully furnished with beds, mattresses and bedding, all you'll need to bring is a towel.

The settlements are close to the campsite's shower and toilet facilities, so if nature calls you don't have to walk half a mile to get to them in the middle of the night!

Luxury Bell Tent


Sparrows campsite also offers the option of wild camping in a number of beautiful areas around the campsite. There are 5 pitches available and all are set in their own private area with a campfire and picnic table. So if you have your own tent or campervan all you have to do is book a pitch and turn up! 


You will have access to the hot showers and the rest of the campsite facilities which are only a short walk from the wild camping area.
