From intimate calm zones to versatile classrooms and flexible all-season teaching spaces. Each tipi is engineered in Swedish Lapland and fully managed by us.
The Nook
A naturally enclosed space for small groups, sensory work, 1:1 support, and calm zones. Intimate enough for meaningful connection, spacious enough for a focused group session.

The Lodge
Our recommended starting point for most settings. A built-in door gives a sense of permanence and arrival that children love. The same covered area as The Nook with a completely different feel.

60+ (up)
Our most impressive outdoor classroom. The wide, open grand-hat profile with generous headroom throughout. Raise the sides in summer for a covered area of over 130 square metres, or keep them down for a fully enclosed grand teaching space.

Need more space than a single tipi can offer? Our linking system connects two or more tipis together, creating multi-room outdoor campuses and villages with separate zones for different activities, age groups, or purposes. Ideal for nursery groups, large schools, and settings that want to grow their outdoor provision over time.
The Campus
Two grand hat tipis joined by a panoramic link — the canvas between them lifts to form a bright, weatherproof connecting space with clear walls, so the whole structure teaches as one room or two. Separate zones for different activities, age groups, or purposes, with room for over 150 children. This is the configuration we installed at Cransley School, our flagship independent-school site.

The Village
Three tipis joined in a row — two grand hats either side of a central entrance, connected by panoramic glazed links. A genuine outdoor campus: distinct teaching zones under canvas, one arrival point, and the option to open the whole structure into a single hall for assemblies, performances and whole-school events. Built for larger schools and multi-form settings with ambitious outdoor learning programmes.

A space that never gets tired
Every Beehive Tipi is seasonally refreshed with new decoration and styling, so children experience something fresh throughout the year, and you always have something beautiful to share with parents.
Spring
Wildflowers, new growth, and the energy of a fresh start. The perfect backdrop for nature discovery and sensory exploration.
Summer
Bright botanicals and natural textures. A vibrant, open space that complements outdoor play and warm-weather learning.
Autumn
Harvest colours, golden leaves, and rich textures. Pumpkins, pinecones, and warm tones that celebrate the changing season.
Winter
A cosy wonderland: warm fabrics, soft lighting, and evergreen touches. Outdoor learning made magical even on the coldest days.
Every Beehive Tipis outdoor classroom is engineered in Swedish Lapland, by a manufacturer with decades of expertise in Nordic tipi structures built for the most demanding outdoor environments on earth.

Common questions about our tipis
We offer seven standalone outdoor classroom tipis ranging from 33 to 132 square metres, two open-sided forest school shelters, and linked configurations for even bigger spaces. Every tipi is engineered in Swedish Lapland and fully managed by us.
The Lodge is our most popular size. At 33 square metres with a built-in door, it comfortably accommodates up to 20 children and offers the perfect balance of spacious learning environment and intimate, manageable space. It works beautifully for full-class sessions, forest school, and multi-use throughout the day.
Yes. Linked configurations create multi-zone learning environments, for example, pairing a larger teaching tipi with a smaller calm zone or sensory space. The connection is weatherproof and creates a flowing, purposeful layout. We'll recommend the right configuration based on your space and your needs.
