“We bought our first Big Hat Tipi’s back in 2020 to expand our Event hire business, Bars At Yours, based in Manchester. The Tipi Company couldn’t have been more supportive throughout the whole process, which is so important when buying such a large piece of equipment. Their Tipi’s are made of the highest quality materials, they continued to support us through our first set-up and have gone on to help us achieve all kinds of set-ups including putting 2 log burners in them at Christmas for the Manchester Christmas Markets. They are an incredible, personable, family run business who can’t do enough to help and I would recommend them to anyone looking at buying top quality Tipi’s.”

The Bars At Yours team is committed to providing memorable experiences for their clients, no matter the size or budget of the event. With a wealth of experience in the events industry, they consistently seek ways to enhance their services and provide innovative solutions for outdoor events.

In 2020, Bars At Yours partnered with The Tipi Company to expand their business with two Big Hat Tipis, a Link Kit, and Enhancement Kit A. They also invested in carpets for both Big Hat Tipis to create a warm and inviting interior for their guests.
The addition of these structures allowed Bars At Yours to offer a more immersive experience at weddings, festivals, and pop-up events. The Big Hat Tipis proved to be a perfect solution, delivering the rustic elegance and practicality they were looking for.
Since their initial purchase, Bars At Yours has continued to expand their tipi fleet, allowing them to host larger gatherings and broaden their service offerings.
The Tipi Company provided full support throughout the entire process. From initial discussions to installation, our team ensured Bars At Yours had all the knowledge and guidance they needed to successfully manage their tipi hire business. Our expert team also offered training and setup support to guarantee they could confidently erect their new structures at any event.
In addition to supplying tipis for weddings and festivals, Bars At Yours has become a regular feature at the Manchester Christmas Markets. Each year, they create a magical winter retreat by setting up their Big Hat Tipis as cosy, festive bars for visitors to enjoy.
