5 Reasons to Choose a Tipi or Marquee for a Company Event

1. Create a venue that is completely your own

One of the biggest advantages of hiring a tipi or marquee is the ability to create a venue around your event, rather than trying to make an existing venue fit your plans.

Our sailcloth marquees offer a beautifully light and airy setting, with their elegant wooden poles and translucent canvas creating a relaxed yet impressive atmosphere. They work particularly well for summer corporate events, providing a stunning backdrop during the day before taking on a magical atmosphere as the sun goes down.

For something a little more distinctive, our giant hat tipis create an unforgettable event space. With their striking peaks, spacious interiors and unique character, they are ideal for businesses looking to host an event that feels different from the usual hotel, conference centre or function room.

And because the structure is just the starting point, there are endless opportunities to personalise the space with furniture, lighting, bars, branding, entertainment and styling.

Your event. Your brand. Your space.

2. Flexible locations mean more possibilities

Corporate events don’t always need to take place in a traditional event venue.

A tipi or marquee can transform a wide variety of outdoor spaces into an exciting temporary venue, whether that’s at your workplace, a private estate, a sporting venue, a countryside setting or another location that has meaning for your business.

This flexibility opens up a whole new world of possibilities when it comes to event planning.

Want to host a summer party in the grounds of your office? Create a festival-style company celebration? Bring an outdoor brand activation to life? Or give your team an unforgettable Christmas party under canvas?

Our sailcloth marquees and giant hat tipis can be installed in a variety of locations, allowing you to choose a setting that complements the event rather than being restricted by what traditional venues are available.

3. They can be tailored to your brand and event

A corporate event should feel like an extension of your organisation, and your event space can play a huge part in creating that feeling.

Our structures provide a blank canvas that can be transformed to suit your brand, from sophisticated corporate dinners to relaxed summer parties and high-energy product launches.

Think branded signage, bespoke lighting, statement furniture, bars, dance floors, dining areas and creative installations, all brought together beneath one beautiful structure.

Our sailcloth marquees are particularly versatile, offering a sophisticated and contemporary backdrop that can be styled in countless ways.

Meanwhile, giant hat tipis bring a more adventurous and memorable feel, making them perfect for companies wanting to create something with a little more personality.

We’ve seen first-hand how a thoughtfully designed event space can completely change the atmosphere of an event, turning an empty outdoor area into somewhere guests genuinely want to spend time.

4. One space can do it all

Corporate events often need to accommodate a number of different activities throughout the day or evening.

Perhaps you’re starting with presentations and networking, moving into lunch or dinner, before finishing the evening with a band or DJ and a dance floor.

A tipi or marquee gives you the flexibility to create different zones within one event space, so your guests can move naturally from one part of the event to another.

You could have a relaxed lounge area for networking, a beautifully dressed dining space for lunch or dinner, a bar for drinks and conversation, and a dance floor ready for the evening celebrations.

For larger events, multiple structures can also be combined to create separate areas for different purposes, giving you even more flexibility over the layout and guest experience.

The result is an event that can evolve throughout the day, without guests ever feeling like they’ve simply moved from one room to another.

5. Give your guests an experience they’ll remember

Perhaps the biggest reason to choose a tipi or marquee for your corporate event is simple: they create atmosphere.

There’s something special about stepping into a sailcloth marquee as daylight fades, with the canvas glowing softly overhead and the space coming to life around you.

And a giant hat tipi creates an atmosphere all of its own. The impressive structure immediately gives an event a sense of occasion, while the open, flexible interior allows you to create an environment that feels exciting, welcoming and completely different from a conventional corporate venue.

For businesses, that can make a real difference.

A memorable event can help bring teams together, celebrate achievements, strengthen relationships, launch a product, entertain clients or simply give employees something to look forward to. After all, corporate events don’t have to feel corporate.
