Why coming along to our next Tipi & Marquee Showcase is a great idea!

Why coming along to our next Special Event Tipis & Marquees structure viewings is a great idea…

We absolutely love hosting our open days and we are delighted to be welcoming couples back on Saturday 18th April 2026 in the beautiful grounds of Low House, Armathwaite in Cumbria.

Our open days are the perfect opportunity to see our range of Giant Hat tipis, sailcloth marquees and stretch tents set up and styled in the flesh. Whilst photos are wonderful for wedding inspiration, there really is nothing quite like stepping inside the structures, getting a feel for the space and imagining how your own celebration might look.

Over the years we’ve had the privilege of working on some truly incredible weddings, parties and events and we would love to share our experience and knowledge with you whilst you explore the structures.

If you are currently considering tipis or marquees for your wedding or special event, here are a few great reasons why coming along to see us is such a good idea!

Why coming to our Tipi & Marquee viewings is a great idea…

1. See our structures in person

If you have been browsing our website or Pinterest boards and wondering what our structures are really like in person, this is your chance to see them properly.

Our Giant Hat tipis create a really special atmosphere with their striking Nordic design and warm natural canvas. They are incredibly versatile and can be linked together to create larger spaces, perfect for relaxed weddings and lively celebrations.

Alongside the tipis, you will also be able to explore our beautiful sailcloth marquees, which are loved for their elegant sweeping lines, translucent canvas and light filled interiors. They are perfect for couples looking for a timeless, romantic marquee with a slightly more traditional feel.

We will also have one of our stretch tents set up so you can see just how flexible these structures are. Stretch tents are fantastic for creating stylish covered outdoor spaces and work brilliantly for relaxed garden parties, festival style weddings or additional covered areas alongside a main structure, like a drinks reception or covered outdoor wedding ceremony.

Each structure has its own personality and our open day gives you the chance to step inside them all and see which feels right for you.

2. Be inspired

It is easy to get swept up in the endless scroll of wedding inspiration online. Seeing the structures in real life helps you visualise how your own event might come together.

During the open day you will be able to explore different layout ideas, seating options and styling choices inside the structures. Whether you are dreaming of something colourful and festival inspired, soft and romantic, or simple and elegant, seeing the space in person makes planning much easier.

Your wedding or event should feel like you, and spending time inside the structures really helps bring those ideas to life.

For more inspiration afterwards, be sure to follow us on Pinterest and Instagram where you can see how other couples have styled their own weddings and celebrations.

3. The finishing touches

The details are what really bring an event together and our open day is the perfect opportunity to see our interior items and styling pieces up close.

From seating and tables to luxury furnishings, bars and décor pieces, we are always adding new items to our collection and love showcasing them at our viewings.

Lighting is another really important element of the structures and can completely transform the atmosphere from day to night. Seeing our lighting options in person will help you decide what works best for the look and feel you want to create.

Our aim is always to keep our structures feeling light, welcoming and full of atmosphere so you can create a truly memorable space for your celebration.

4. Low House, Armathwaite

Our open day takes place in the beautiful surroundings of Low House, Armathwaite, a stunning setting on the banks of the River Eden in the Eden Valley.

It is a lovely place to visit and a wonderful backdrop for seeing the structures set up in a natural wedding setting.

We also work closely with a fantastic network of local suppliers including caterers, florists, photographers, planners and entertainers. If you are still building your wedding team, we are always happy to share recommendations.

5. Meet the team

Our friendly and experienced team will be there to welcome you on the day.

There is nothing quite like sitting down face to face and chatting through your plans, ideas and questions. Every event we create is completely bespoke and we love helping couples shape their day into something truly personal.

Whether you are just starting to explore options or already have a clear vision in mind, we are here to help guide you through the possibilities.

6. Open day offers

Last but certainly not least, we will also be running exclusive offers for couples who attend our open day, so it is a great opportunity to secure your structure whilst taking advantage of a little extra something.

We can’t wait to welcome you and show you around.
