Giant tipi

Take a look at our single tipi for up to 70 people. It’s perfect for small, intimate weddings for up to around 50 people, or larger garden parties where dancing and dining isn’t needed.

The tipi is made from tan can coloured canvas. It is completely waterproof and has a high wind rating, so it will be safe and comfortable whatever the weather.

There is no metalwork with the tipi, it’s held up by wooden poles which can reach seven meters high. This proves useful when wanting to hang things, such as mirror balls, fairy lights, and other decorations.

The sides of the single tipi are really flexible. In winter the sides can be completely down to create a warm, toasty space. In the warmer months, the sides can be completely opened up, or anywhere in between.

Three giant tipis and a kung linked together  

This is outstanding tipi setup is perfect for a wedding or party for around 150 people. This particular setup is laid out beautifully in a triangle configuration with the front open and back closed to create a warm, intimate space.

Our tipis are made from tan coloured canvas, which is all completely water and windproof, and held up by beautiful rustic wooden poles. Our tipi frames are all hand built in Sweden and imported.

Everything is completely flexible, and spaces can be setup as dining areas, dancefloors, private bars, chill out zones, and much more.

You will have complete freedom to choose your furnishings, flooring, lighting, table arrangements, and any other decorations you should want.

Kung tipi

View our amazing kung tipi. This super versatile little mini teepee can be used independently or linked onto your main teepees as a breakaway space.

The kung is made from exactly the same canvas tan fabric as our other tipis, meaning heavy rain, blazing sunshine, or gusty winds won’t be a problem.

This size tent is perfect for more small, intimate parties and weddings of up to around 40 people. Despite its size you can still have a dancefloor inside, complete with mirror ball, as well as dining.

The sides don’t open up like they do on our main tipis, so the kung tipi is much more of an enclosed private area for you. But we can of course, add all the decoration you require, including fire pits outside, to create the vibe you want.

Nimbus canopy

Our wonderful Nimbus Canopy is made out of exactly the same fabric as our tipis. It’s held up by the same beautiful wooden poles which can be decorated and adorned with fairy lights.

The nimbus canopy is perfect for small garden barbecues, intimate parties, and gatherings where you require a breakaway space. You could also seat up to 20 people under there as well for outdoor dining if you wanted to.

The canopy is often added as an addition a main tipi or sailcloth tent as an additional space, which can be particularly helpful with large weddings and events. Many of our couples use the nimbus canopy as a focal point for outdoor nuptials.

Nimbus Pod small marquee

Nimbus Pod

We’re thrilled to unveil The Nimbus Pod — our brand-new luxury gazebo or pergola, designed especially for smaller gatherings and intimate dinner parties. This elegant, versatile structure brings all the style and presence of a large marquee into a more compact form, creating a magical space without overwhelming your site.

With a footprint of approximately 6.2 m diameter, providing about 27 m² of covered area. It strikes a balance between having enough space for a refined dining or lounge layout without feeling cavernous or underutilised. Perfect for seating up to 24 guests, and protecting them from the elements with part clear sides that can be put up in sections allowing it to be fully enclosed, partially open or fully open.
