A wild event
If you’re planning a party, corporate gathering or community event, then a Wild Tipi could be the perfect venue.
We catch up with Wild Tipi Founder, Sam Moore, to find out what a tipi party entails!
“We love the versatility of a tipi,” Sam explains.
“The tipi is durable, provides warmth in the winter and cool in the summer. It can be put up in hard-to-reach places, with minimal disruption to the environment and packed away quickly, leaving no trace.”
The smaller, ‘Midi Tipis’ are perfect for an intimate drinks reception or chill-out area, whilst the ‘Giant Hats’ can be joined together to provide space to seat between 70 and 1,000 guests, in numerous configurations. The hardwood flooring option means that they can also be put up as longer-term structures.
“We have been a part of some amazing events. Wild Tipis have graced the (listed!) lawns at Dartington Hall in Devon, held feast nights at Trewithen Gardens in Probus and are looking forward to a summer packed full of community focused projects working alongside Oak Tree School in Truro and the amazing Chaos Group. Although most of our bookings are still from weddings and parties, we have seen a trend in private, corporate and community events too as the versatility, beauty and magic of a tipi becomes better known.”
So what makes a Wild Tipi the perfect place for a party or event? First and foremost, every Tipi event can be tailored to fit your exact needs, so whether you are having a small, intimate party for 50, a corporate away-week for 200 or a community festival for 1,000, the location, the set-up and the styling is entirely up to you. Of course, Wild Tipi are happy to work alongside you to take away any worry in the run up to, or the running of your event as well.
People also love that a Wild Tipi is kinder to the environment; all tipis are UK-made from sustainably-sourced English pine and the company works hard to reduce its carbon footprint wherever it can. And of course, nothing compares to the magic of a tipi and the childlike wonder it creates; it really does need seeing to be believed!
So, if you’re planning a party, event or community project, why not get in touch with Sam and the Wild Tipi team and discover the beauty of the ‘Giant Hats’ for yourself!
