Marquee types / By style
Tipi / Teepee hire.
Nordic-inspired conical tents that link together for larger events. Relaxed, festival feel with open sides and central poles.
Also known as a teepee, nordic tipi, giant hat, the tipi / teepee suits festival-style weddings, summer parties and events that want a relaxed atmosphere with open sides.
Typical capacity is 40 to 250 guests. Hire costs depend on the size, your guest count and what's included, so compare quotes from a few suppliers before you commit.
- Distinctive linked structures
- Central fire pit option creates a focal point
- Open sides work well in good weather
- Internal poles block some sight lines
- Cold in winter without serious heating
- Bulky and needs a bigger footprint than equivalent marquees
Best for summer events where atmosphere matters more than capacity per square metre.
