Giant tipi hire across the UK: Everything you need to know
Giant tipis have become one of the most sought-after structures for outdoor events in the UK. Whether you are planning a summer wedding in the English countryside, a milestone birthday party on a private estate, or a corporate summer party that needs to make a genuine statement, the Stratus 72 Giant Tipi from Katah Events delivers an atmosphere that no conventional venue can match.
Katah Events is based in Wheatley, Oxfordshire, and operates across the whole of the UK — from the South West and Home Counties through the Midlands and beyond. If you have beautiful land and a vision for an outdoor event, our team will bring it to life wherever you are.
What Is a Stratus Giant Tipi?
The Stratus 72 is a large-format tipi inspired by the traditional dwellings of the nomadic Sámi people of Scandinavia — but scaled up and engineered for modern events. Each tipi is built around an interlocking framework of hand-stripped pine poles, covered in a heavy-denier natural tan canvas that is fully waterproof, cool in summer, and warm in winter.
The result is a structure that is simultaneously ancient and contemporary: dramatic to look at from the outside, and warm, intimate and endlessly adaptable on the inside. Combined with Katah’s bespoke walnut furniture, professional lighting and full production services, a Stratus tipi installation becomes a complete world unto itself.
Tipi Configurations: From Intimate to Epic
One of the greatest strengths of the Stratus tipi is its scalability. Individual tipis can be used alone or connected in a wide range of configurations to suit any guest count or site layout:
• Single tipi — perfect for smaller gatherings or as a focal feature alongside other structures
• Two-tipi pairing — creates a generous connected space with good separation between dining and dancing
• Three-tipi triangle — one of the most popular configurations, offering a spacious main hall with a natural flow between zones
• Four-tipi arc — spectacular for larger events, with a dramatic curved frontage and ample room for dining, a bar and a dance floor
• Five-tipi triangle — suitable for major events of 150 or more guests, with space for multiple distinct areas
WallFlex extensions connect tipis to cover the gaps between them, creating seamless covered walkways and additional usable space. Catering tents, stretch tents and Kaya Mini-Marquees can be added for back-of-house areas, kids’ zones, or reception spaces — giving you a truly complete venue on any open plot of land.
