Big Sky Tipis


A low-angle shot of a large, gnarled tree with spreading branches and roots exposed on a small mound. Sunlight filters through its green leaves, illuminating the forest floor covered in brown leaves. Two paths diverge around the tree, leading deeper into the woods.
A low-angle shot of a buffet table laden with diverse gourmet appetizers, including sliders, tacos, and salads. The table is set outdoors in a grassy field, with several large canvas tipis visible in the soft-focus background under a bright sky.
A shot of an outdoor wedding ceremony setup. Rows of chairs, each adorned with colorful ribbons, face a rustic wooden structure decorated with greenery. In the background, several large tipis with painted designs are visible on the grassy field under a cloudy sky.
A striped blue and white deck chair stands in the foreground of a grassy field. In the background, several tipis are visible under a clear blue sky, some decorated with colourful paintings, and a line of trees marks the edge of the field.
A long shot of the interior of a large canvas tipi. Two long wooden tables are set for a banquet, decorated with wine glasses, bottles, and floral arrangements. The tipi's canvas walls and support poles are visible, with warm lighting from lanterns and bulbs overhead.
A wide shot of a field with several tipis and a rustic wooden structure under a partly cloudy sky. The tipis vary in size, with some featuring blue and brown designs. In the foreground, green foliage partially obscures the view, with a line of trees and a distant field visible in the background.
A field dotted with several tipis, some white and some beige, suggesting. Colourful flags and banners flutter in the breeze near some of the tipis. A rustic wooden signpost in the foreground points left with an arrow and the word "Ceremony" written on it. The field is green with some patches of longer grass and wildflowers. In the background, trees line the horizon under a bright blue sky with fluffy white clouds. The overall scene suggests a relaxed and possibly bohemian or festival-style atmosphere.
Front view of a half-timbered English country house with white walls, diamond-paned windows, and a tiled roof. The front door is flanked by two large galvanized milk churns repurposed as planters holding bouquets of white, pink, and green flowers. The foreground features a grassy lawn and the backs of several Chiavari-style chairs.
Wedding ceremony setup outdoors with rows of wooden benches facing a central wooden structure with a tiled roof. Three large, blue-and-tan tipis on raised wooden platforms are visible in the background on a grassy field. Bunting lines the front of the aisle, and a bucket of umbrellas stands to the right.

Big Sky Tipi Holidays near Eastbourne offers a unique festival/woodland style wedding venue set in the East Sussex countryside. With exclusive use of the entire site, you and your guests stay in eight beautifully furnished Sioux Indian tipis (sleeping 4–6 each) plus two bell tents and a camping paddock, creating a shared glamping experience over two nights.

Our venue is fully licenced for ceremonies which can take place outdoors beneath the oak‑framed pagoda, nestled within the ancient woodland or an intimate ceremonies room in Well House.

After “I do”, guests can dine and dance in two giant tipi marquees (with space for up to 120 seated) and later relax around communal campfires beneath the stars.

Amenities include hot‑water showers, flush toilets, accessible facilities, power points and an eco‑conscious setup powered by solar energy.

Wedding packages start from around £5,950 covering exclusive site hire, accommodation, two Tentipi marquees, stretch tent, and Geoff and Sarah Whitaker on hand to help you craft a bespoke, laid‑back festival weekend experience

Big Sky Tipis is ideal for couples seeking a relaxed, festival style, communal, nature‑focused celebration—think barefoot dancing, marshmallow toasting, and shared memories under a big Sussex sky.
