Tipi Hire in Adelaide
Tipis bring a relaxed, festival feel that a standard marquee cannot. Giant Nordic-style tipis, joined together with open sides, create a dramatic peaked silhouette and a warm, woody interior that suits laid-back weddings and parties. We connect you with Adelaide suppliers who hire and configure them.
What's included
What you can expect
Tipi hire uses giant Nordic (kata) tipis, typically joined in twos, threes or more, with sides that open up or close down depending on weather and mood. The tall timber-pole peaks and canvas give a striking, organic look, and the open configuration flows beautifully between dining, bar and dancefloor. They suit relaxed, festival-style weddings and milestone parties on private property. Suppliers plan the layout, flooring and lighting. We match you with up to 3.

Tipis suit the open spaces of the Adelaide Hills and the wine regions, where there is room for a multi-tipi configuration and the rolling backdrop matches their relaxed character. Summer fire-pit elements need a Fire Danger Season check.

Tipi Hire: questions answered
A single giant tipi seats roughly 50 to 80 guests depending on layout. Joined tipis scale up from there: three joined tipis can comfortably host 120 or more. Suppliers recommend a configuration based on your guest count and whether you want a dancefloor and bar inside.
Yes. The sides of a tipi can be rolled up to open the space to the outdoors and the view, or closed down for warmth and weather. This flexibility is part of their appeal, letting the space change with the day and the season.
Tipis are a specialised, premium product, so a multi-tipi setup generally sits above an equivalent white marquee. The dramatic look is the draw. Indicatively they start from around $2,500 for a single tipi. We match you with suppliers who fit your budget.
