BIG HAT
The Big Hat tipi is our largest and most popular tipi due to its size and flexibility. If there was one word to describe a tipi it would be versatile. It can be joined to other tipis in a variety of ways. The ability for it to be linked to additional Big Hat tipis means it is usually the centrepiece of most events.
The sides can be lifted in sections to open up as much or as little as desired, offering a wonderful open aspect to the surroundings. Alternatively, the sides can be closed down, enabling porches and tunnels to be attached, forming impressive entrances or leading to further tipis.
BIG HAT
The Big Hat is the largest and most versatile of our tipis. They can be linked together, giving further internal space. Each and any number of the nine sides can be lifted to form an open side in summer. When three Big Hat tipis are used, they can be linked, either forming a slight arc or a triangle.
BIG HAT SPACE AND CAPACITY
Each Big Hat has a 10.3 metre diameter and a height of 7.4 metres, giving a spacious internal volume. Individually, they can seat up to 60 guests, depending on configuration, but when two Big Hat tipis are linked together, their combined capacity can seat up to 132 guests*.
* It is important to note that guest capacity is affected by certain options such as weatherproofing kits, entrances, and layout preferences.

Little Hat
Unlike our other tipis, the Little Hat tipis are open-sided. They are a superb addition to any outdoor orientated event, and are both visually impressive and provide a useful area to shelter from the heat of the sun or a passing shower. They are deceptively large and have a footprint that is bigger than the Baby Tipi. They do not link to any other tipi, but being open-sided, they are freely accessible from all directions.
Perfect For An Outdoor Bar
The Little Hats are extremely popular for garden parties, and for small events where you would like to make a big impression. We can decorate them with our own handmade traditional bunting, fairy lights up and/or around the principle frame structure or drape festoon lights from their peaks. Whatever your event, our Little Hat tipis will certainly impress.

why tipis ?
Unlike marquee hire, our tipis are literally built to withstand icy temperatures and the pouring rain, but fingers and toes crossed it will be glorious sunshine on your big day!
Originating from Sweden, and manufactured here in the UK, our giant tipis for hire are tried and tested to withstand unpredictable conditions – a bit of Northern rain is nothing compared to what these tipis can handle. We really can’t stress this enough – outdoor tipi weddings are incredible all year round, no matter what the weather, and most importantly we are proud to be supporting the Made in Britain campaign.
