Festival Wedding Tipi Open Day Showcase in Sussex


Festival wedding tipi open day showcase with bride outside giant tipis in a field

Our tipi festival wedding showcase was an ideal chance to see a variety of our tipis, explore the stunning rural farmhouse venue, and connect with an array of fantastic local wedding suppliers!


In addition to our large tipis and glamping bell tents, we had over 25 wedding suppliers in attendance at our tipi showcase, featured included a retro ice cream van, vintage VW Campervan rentals, garden games and prop rentals, catering options ranging from grazing tables to oyster shacks, florists, wedding planners, a live DJ and much more...
