Welcome to 2025! Our Summer trading schedule is almost complete and we very much look forward to meeting up with you at an event or on a Festival Field somewhere over the Summer. In the meantime, we are gradually adding our new season stock to the website. We have not increased our postage prices and we are still able to send up to 2kg via 2nd class Royal Mail for just £4 and anything that is large letter size for £3. Thank you so much for your continued support of our small business.

Love and light

THE HIPPIE BOAT

WELCOME TO OUR SHOP

Shop now

We are Pete & Jules and we created The Hippie Boat Brand in 2015. Operating as Roving Traders from our narrowboat, we cruised the UK Canals and Rivers setting up our extensive outdoor display of Fair Trade Festival Style Clothing, Bags, Accessories, Incense and other ethically sourced merchandise from the side of the boat at various towpath locations over the Spring & Summer months.

Last year, after a move off the boat to a traditional Welsh cottage on the Llyn Peninsula, we hit the road in a Motorhome and took our pop-up shop to various land based Festivals, some of which were in areas that we haven’t previously been able to reach by boat! Thank you so much to everyone that made 2024 such an absolutely awesome trading experience! Despite the challenges of adverse weather at times, which saw gazebos taking off in all directions, we had so much fun; we reunited with friends, made lots of new friends, enjoyed listening to some fantastic bands, sold lots of gorgeous clothes to lovely customers and made wonderful memories. Travelling on wheels enabled us to zig zag across the country rather than being confined to one canal route and it really opened up our trading options. 

We are now looking forward to our second year of land trading and are excited to get on the road again with the Hippie Boat on Wheels.

Love

Jules & Pete xx
