A tipi for every space, every purpose, and every ambition
From intimate calm zones to versatile classrooms and flexible all-season teaching spaces. Each tipi is manufactured by Tentipi 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.

Our most impressive outdoor classroom. The wide, open Stratus 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.
Enquire ↗Connect multiple tipis for even bigger possibilities
Need more space than a single tipi can offer? Our linking system connects two or more tipis together, creating multi-room outdoor campuses 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 connected to create a multi-room outdoor learning centre. Separate zones for different activities, age groups, or purposes. Ideal for larger schools and settings with whole-year-group ambitions.

The Village
A main teaching hall connected to a smaller breakout space. The best of both worlds: whole-class sessions in one, targeted small-group work in the other.

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.
