The Tipi Company

08/10/2026

Fresh air. Open views. Good company.

Tucked into the heart of the countryside, a tipi just feels at home. Timber poles. Canvas overhead. Sides lifted to let the outdoors in.

Room for a proper get-together, with the trees, birdsong and countryside all around you. Nothing brings it together quite like a tipi.

Long lunches. Wedding speeches. One more drink as the sun goes down.

A little shelter. A lot of outdoors.

Oh gosh! Hayley, our MD has spotted something horrifying this morning whilst scrolling on Instagram! Kata Tipi's: we understand how appealing this photo looks, and it looks great on your page but... it's not yours. Remove this photograph from your instagram. Immediately. Please. 🙏

Tucked into the beautiful Perthshire countryside, Maycroft Retreat is a wonderful example of how a Tipi can become part of a much bigger wellbeing experience.

Surrounded by open landscape, their tipi spaces sit at the heart of retreats, yoga, meditation, sound journeys and intimate gatherings (alongside Maycroft’s Wild Spa, sauna, cold plunges and peaceful glamping stays).

A warm, sheltered space that still feels connected to the landscape outside.

Denise. Founder, has been a therapist for 30 years. She says that "The Tipi, is so natural - the wood, the canvas, the connection to the earth and the space itself is so, so beautiful. There's nothing quite like it up here. Along with the wild spa, it's the perfect space for retreats. A beautiful environment where people can feel held, and nurtured."

Located on a family farm in Peterborough, Little Wellies Day Nursery provides a unique educational experience within a farm environment. Run by Clare and Tilly, the nursery offers endless opportunities for adventure, fostering a love for learning and nature among its young attendees. Due to high demand, the nursery faced a growing waiting list and needed to expand its capacity with a new classroom space that could be used year-round.

Building a conventional extension would have been costly and time-consuming, so they began looking for an alternative.

They chose a Big Hat Tipi in Forest Green, installed permanently on a raised timber base, with panoramic opening panels to bring plenty of fresh air through the space. Two entrance porches provide flexibility, while inside they've created a wonderfully warm classroom with wooden furniture, rugs, games and fairy lights wrapped around the tipi poles.
Outside, the decking extends beyond the tipi to create another usable area, complete with picnic benches and fencing.

The result is an outdoor classroom that feels completely at home on the farm (and importantly, has enabled Little Wellies to increase capacity and welcome more children).
One particularly interesting piece of feedback from the nursery is that staff and children using the tipi had reported no illness-related absences, which they attributed to the constant fresh airflow through the classroom.

A lovely example of how an outdoor classroom can solve a very practical space problem without losing the character or ethos of the setting it belongs to.

PS. We only have three slots left for November installations.

Designed for a very different purpose to the structures we manufacture today, the traditional tipi was portable, adaptable and remarkably clever in its simplicity.
Its distinctive form has since become recognised around the world.
As designers and manufacturers of modern commercial tipis, we think it’s important to understand and acknowledge the history behind the architectural form that continues to inspire what we build today.

Because, afterall, there's so much magic in a Tipi. The form has endured for thousands of years. And for good reason.

It works.

Elevated experiences.... 🙌
Our permanent Tipis can be installed on raised, tanalised timber decking creating incredible usable spaces on sloping sites and challenging gradients.

Whether it's a school classroom, outdoor learning space, woodland restaurant or bar, rural hospitality venue, function space or farm diversification project.

And when you buy directly from the manufacturer, your Tipi can be designed and customised around your site, your business and how you need the space to work.

Whatever it is that YOU do, there’s a Tipi for you.
(Even on a difficult site!)

⭐Our sales office is closed until the 1st of September. ⭐

Our Managing Director, Hayley, is finally tying the knot in beautiful Portugal! 💍🇵🇹

As a proudly family-run, female-led business, we believe the big moments are worth celebrating together - so some of the Tipi Team will be swapping TipiHQ for Portugal to celebrate alongside her.

And, perhaps most remarkably of all… our MD is actually putting her out-of-office ON. 😂

Between running The Tipi Company and being a busy mum of three, holidays have historically had a habit of becoming working holidays. But for three very special days, the laptop is staying firmly closed while she seals the deal. ❤️
🥂 Our Sales Office will therefore be closed for today and Friday followed by the Bank Holiday weekend.

We’ll be back at TipiHQ on Tuesday 1st September, ready and raring to respond to your enquiries.

Please do keep sending them through while we’re away - they’ll be waiting for us when we return!
Here’s to love, family and a very rare few days completely out of office. 🥂💍
