About this space

The tipi and paddock at The Moody Mare are extremely rare settings in which rustic charm exudes an aura of ease. The paddocksite refers to an outdoorsy private area adjacent to the main pub, which has a calming open atmosphere, being embraced by the gentle greenery of Mereworth Woods. It feels closed off yet welcoming-a blank canvas on which to stage any social gathering.

The majestic set of three giant tipis occupies the heart of this place, each one targeting to extend the atmosphere and aura of warmth from within the pub to the great outdoors. These tipis are more enhancers of beauty and charm than mere utile shelters; their presence varies with time and season. During the colder months, while warm heat emanates from them, they serve as a glowing nook that wraps you in an amulet, making dining under the canvas-pane truly magical.

In the summer, their open sides let fresh breezes and the sunlight flow through. The tipis hope to carry balance in rustic elegance and contemporary comfort. Twinkling lights, the textures of nature, and deliberate décor give the setting a kind of versatility that can either be casual or formal at a moment's notice.

For weekend daily use, they are secreted, though one can privately reserve the place for any combination of weddings, birthday parties, or corporate social events. Shelter, warmth, and nature combine to give these tents the flexibility desired for any event yet retain a special character.

The paddock finishes the whole package. The wide grassy expanse freely spills outdoors, whether to mingle under the stars, entertain children running about in the fresh air, or just sit back with a drink and take in the serene setting.
