Client: The Landing at Beadnell Bay
Location: Northumberland
Just 100 metres from the stunning shores of Beadnell Bay Beach in Northumberland, The Landing is a vibrant, coastal restaurant that has quickly become a favourite for both locals and tourists. Since opening in 2022, The Landing has built a strong reputation for its scenic location. As the business flourished, the team began to explore ways to expand their offering and elevate their guests' experience.
Initially, The Landing had invested in a stretch tent to provide an outdoor seating area for their customers. While this served a purpose during the warmer months, it wasn’t suitable for year-round use, especially given the site’s exposure to strong coastal weather conditions. The team recognised the need for a more durable, weather-resistant, and visually striking structure.
Located directly by the beach, The Landing faces coastal weather throughout the year. The new structure needed to be far more robust than their previous stretch tent and capable of withstanding Northumberland’s unpredictable climate.
Moreover, the owners wanted something that stood out. A structure that would complement the natural beauty of the surroundings, reflect the relaxed, rustic vibe of their restaurant, and act as a draw for guests looking for something out of the ordinary.
Finally, functionality was key. The new installation had to integrate seamlessly with the existing restaurant layout while offering flexibility for various uses, from everyday dining to seasonal events and themed nights
In 2023, The Landing at Beadnell Bay partnered with The Tipi Company to bring their vision to life. After in-depth consultations and site assessments, our team designed and delivered a bespoke tipi formation tailored to the location and the client’s needs.
The final installation included:
Our expert installation team handled the entire setup, ensuring the formation was perfectly aligned, weather-sealed, and integrated with the existing infrastructure of the restaurant. The result was a permanent, highly durable, and visually stunning outdoor dining space that truly elevates The Landing’s offering.
Inside the tipis, The Landing has used wooden tables and benches throughout the space. The space is both welcoming and versatile—ideal for everything from casual brunches to lively evening gatherings.
The tipis serve as a true extension of the restaurant. They are used daily, hosting both regular diners and special events. The Landing has also utilised the space for seasonal activities, live music, and themed nights, drawing in new customers.
Thanks to the tipis, the team has not only expanded their seating capacity but also created an immersive, atmospheric environment that guests love. Importantly, they can now operate year-round, providing warm, sheltered dining even in the winter months—something previously not possible with their stretch tent setup.
The Landing at Beadnell Bay perfectly demonstrates how tipis can transform a hospitality venue. Combining durability, and flexibility, the Big Hat Tipis have given this beachside restaurant the edge it needed to stand out—no matter the season.
