About this space

Tipi & Paddock is an Outdoor Space in The Moody Mare defined by a cluster of canvas tipis that create a sheltered, flexible area next to an open paddock.

Design: The space pairs conical canvas tipis with a gravel courtyard and an adjacent grassy paddock, framed by a low picket fence. The finish is rustic and informal, emphasising natural materials, wide sightlines and festoon lighting that reads clearly at dusk.

Features: The area includes a PA system and speakers and permits own music subject to a site noise restriction. The space provides venue Wi‑Fi, sheltered seating beneath the tipis and outdoor benches across the paddock. The layout delivers step‑free access, wheelchair‑friendly circulation and accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Groups seeking a relaxed, social outdoor gathering that combines sheltered seating and open‑air standing space.

What guests say: The Tipi area is warm and visually attractive, noted for its festoon lighting and comfortable, informal seating in the garden.
