Popped over to visit Sarah and Zack at "The Firs, Hanbury" this week. Located in Bromsgrove, The Firs is one extraordinary tipi wedding and retreats venue.

✨ Exclusive-use weddings – Hosting just 10 weddings a year, The Firs offers an intimate, personal experience with a stunning Nordic tipi overlooking a lake, seating approximately 120 guests.
🌿 Wellness retreats – From yoga and breathwork to sound baths, ice-plunges, sauna, mindfulness and restorative experiences, this is somewhere to truly switch off and reconnect.
🏕️ Luxury glamping – Beautifully furnished bell tents, a secluded cottage and the opportunity to turn a special occasion into an unforgettable weekend.
🥂 Bespoke wedding planning, flexible catering and a dedicated team who believe that every celebration should feel as individual as the people behind it.

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.

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.
