The Tipis offer great flexibility when it comes to design in comparison to our Sailcloth Tents. Larger events will normally require multiple tents,  linked together in a variety of ways to create unique shapes and interesting layouts. This can be a great way to maximise the space inside the Tipis for smaller locations or to create bespoke layouts for dining / performance areas. We cater for most event types ranging from birthday parties and weddings to corporate events and festivals. Catering tents can be linked onto the Tipis in the colder months to minimise heat loss and we have a smaller chill out tipi (Kung), which can be linked onto your main tipi to create a separate bar / chill out area for your guests. In addition we have an even smaller Nimbus canopy that can be used to create beautiful covered outdoor spaces for bands, bars, food service areas or simply some extra shelter.

Custom decoration is a great benefit of this type of tent. Due to the unique structure of the Tipis you can easily add your own personal touches by hanging ornaments, making decorations and more. Transform your Tipi by creating hand made finishing touches to compliment the rustic look and make the space your own. Short on time? Our recommended suppliers in our little black book can help or take a look at our finishing touches brochure.

Festival style weddings are where the Tipis come into their own in comparison to the Sailcloth Tents. The unique aesthetics really compliment this style of wedding, with their quirky, natural look really adding to the rustic / boho style. Tipis look great at any style of wedding and can be pitched almost anywhere, adding to the list of custom options and layouts available for your special day. On setup you can choose to have the sides up to open up the tipi and let in more light, or down to make a warmer, more secluded area.

Another great aspect of the tipis is their ability to house an open fire pit, venting at the top of the tipi allows the smoke to escape leaving you to enjoy the warmth and atmosphere of an open fire inside. Their ultra durable canvas can withstand high temperatures and is fire retardant to a high standard so that they can safely house our fire pits, find out more about how are Tipis are made. Fire pits look stunning at night and make great centre pieces for social spaces, bring them inside the tipis and enjoy sitting around the fire with your friends and loved ones.
