1960s Futuro House hosts sci-fi sleepovers in Somerset
Futuro House, the sci-fi, 1960s pod design of Finnish architect Matti Suuronen, has been transported to Marston Park in Somerset, UK – and now you can even stay there
If the past year’s events have you dreaming of travel, nature, out-of-this-world experiences and faraway places, the sci-fi, 1960s set of a futuristic pod in the middle of the leafy English countryside might be just the thing for you; time to head off to Somerset, where the modernist vision of Finnish architect Matti Suuronen, the Futuro House, has been revived at artistic retreat Marston Park.

A Somerset pop-up camping site is gearing up for another summer of British staycations with a creative twist.
Rugby clubs, farms and stately homes are among the venues transforming themselves into pop-up holiday venues this summer as Covid travel restrictions lead to a surge in demand for staycations.
Landowners are taking advantage of a relaxation in the law that allows sites to open for 56 days without planning permission this year, up from 28 days in a normal year.
Camping booking platform Pitchup said temporary campsites have sprung up on all kinds of land, from farms to parkland around stately homes to rugby clubs, county showgrounds and village pub beer gardens.
They are proving a lifeline for businesses that may have otherwise struggled to survive the pandemic and for customers who might otherwise have been unable to take a holiday post-lockdown.
