Client: Everything Retreat
Location: Ribble Valley

 

The Brief

Set amidst the rolling hills of the Ribble Valley, Everything Retreat is Lancashire’s very first ultra-luxe micro resort. With a clear focus on peace, privacy, and premium comfort, the retreat is home to 12 meticulously designed lodges—each offering guests an immersive experience of luxury surrounded by nature.

As a wellness-focused destination, Everything Retreat regularly hosts yoga sessions and holistic events that embrace the natural setting. Their mission is to help guests recharge in an environment that inspires calm and connection with the outdoors. To enhance their offering, they were searching for a unique structure that would provide shelter for outdoor events—particularly for yoga, meditation, and wellness-based group activities—while maintaining the aesthetic and ethos of the retreat.

 

The Challenge 

The chosen structure needed to meet several key requirements. Firstly, it had to blend harmoniously with the stunning natural surroundings of the Ribble Valley countryside. Secondly, it needed to uphold the same high standard of design, materials, and atmosphere already established throughout the retreat. Every detail at Everything Retreat is carefully curated to reflect luxury, so any addition had to complement this.

Functionality was also a priority: the space had to be practical for hosting yoga and wellness sessions but flexible enough to be adapted for other events such as small group workshops, retreats, and occasional private bookings. All this had to be achieved without compromising on sustainability or the sense of calm that is central to the guest experience.

 

The Design & Installation

After an in-depth consultation, the team at Everything Retreat chose one of our Sand Little Hat Tipis, complete with Side Sheets for year-round shelter and privacy. The neutral sand-coloured canvas was the perfect choice, offering a soft, organic aesthetic that fits naturally within the green surroundings of the Ribble Valley.

The Little Hat Tipi is ideal for smaller, more intimate gatherings and outdoor experiences. It’s a versatile, semi-open structure that offers shade, shelter, and a calming environment—perfect for relaxing yoga sessions, gentle group meditations, and connecting with nature. The Tipi was installed without flooring, allowing the grass to remain underfoot for an authentic connection to the earth beneath.

Our expert installation team worked closely with the retreat’s management to ensure everything was set up with precision and care. The Side Sheets were included in the installation to allow the tipi to be used in various weather conditions, making it a year-round addition to the retreat's offering.

 

Theming 

The Little Hat Tipi is now a vital part of the Everything Retreat guest experience. During yoga and wellness sessions, the tipi is dressed with yoga mats, cushions, and minimal decor to enhance the calming environment. The natural grass flooring enhances the sensory experience, allowing guests to feel grounded and present during sessions.
For other events, the space can be quickly transformed with the addition of rustic wooden tables, fairy lights, and other decorative elements to create a cosy, intimate setting for talks, workshops, or alfresco dining.

By adding a Tipi from The Tipi Company, Everything Retreat has managed to extend their facilities in a meaningful and visually cohesive way—offering their guests more ways to engage with nature while maintaining the resort’s luxurious and serene atmosphere.

The Little Hat Tipi has proven to be a well-loved addition to the Everything Retreat site. It has helped the team deliver on their promise of offering guests unique, memorable experiences that promote wellbeing and relaxation. The tipi has not only enhanced the aesthetic of the outdoor space but has also expanded the venue’s ability to host different types of retreats and events throughout the seasons.
