Tipi hire | South West Marquees

With a huge timber frame handmade in Sweden, these giant Tipi offer an event space that looks breath taking at the same time as being hugely flexible. Covers are made from traditional coloured canvas complimenting the organic materials of the structure, no lining is needed as the beauty of the materials will speak for itself. We can join multiple Tipis together to cover a variety of events and sizes, adding our full range of equipment to provide everything you need for the full event package.

We offer Tipis with a coir style carpet and a lighting package that includes fairy lights and up lighters specifically design to accent the beauty of the structure.

We have a range of furniture suitable for complimenting the interior of our Tipis, ranging from rustic tables, benches and bars. Heating can be provided by either indirect heater or our centre piece fire pit. Most recently, added Oak Barrels to our hire stock, they make great bar tables for inside or out. Unfortunately, they are supplied empty. For clients who like to go the extra mile with internal decorations our statement lighting range is the ultimate accessory, including cartwheel, ladders and much more.

Stretch tents and Tipis make ideal bedfellows, they share a similar colour cover and each provide what the other misses, with the tipi providing the cosy warm fire lit area and the stretch tent providing an open informal cover for a ceremony or drinks reception.

While we usually set Tipis up on grass, it is now possible to erect on hard standing with the addition of our concrete ballast. All year-round events are also possible due to the stability of the structure. Contact us here to see how we can tailor our Tipis to your event.

We work with Buffalo Tipi, to specialise our Tipi service.

It is the design of the tipis that makes them flexible in many ways, and they can be linked together seamlessly in groups to cater to any event size. As a guide, 1 tipi can comfortably seat 50 people, a pair of tipis over 120, and 3 tipis joined can seat over 150 guests and still have space for a dance floor, stage and bar area.

The canvas tipis can also change with the seasons. The smoke hole at the top of the tent draws out hot air in the summer, but also the smoke from a warm fire in the winter. Any of the tipis nine sides can be opened wide to let the outside in during the summer, meaning your guests can make the most of the light and landscape during your special event.buffalo tipis logo

It is a pleasure to work with people with such a professional approach

I Know that Mrs Gibbs will be writing to you on behalf of the Killmington Fayre Committee, but I wanted to add my thanks to your team of hardworking and willing young men. In addition to erecting the marquee for our floral exhibits, they delivered 100 chairs to the stage in the village hall without a word of complaint. It is a pleasure to work with people with such a professional approach.

To all the team at South West Marquees, just a little note to say thank you for your lovely marquee for our wedding day on the 10^th of June at the Botanical Gardens in Bath.

It was great to work with you before and on the day, so thank you very much.

Honor and Chris.

Hi Natalie,

Thank you so much for everything. The whole team was wonderful from the first enquiry to the take down on Monday. The guys that came to put it up were brilliant – really efficient and so helpful. The tent looked amazing and it was the perfect size for the number of people we had.
