Tipis at Mapledurham is a unique permanent tipi venue set within a historic 12th Century Oxfordshire Estate. As a B Corp, Raw Tipis new venue is driven by values: sustainability, inclusivity and creativity. Every detail of the venue has been lovingly crafted to elevate the event experience for clients, suppliers, and guests.
Location
Just an hour outside of London and accessible by boat down the River Thames, or just a short train from London Paddington, there couldn’t be a better reason to escape to the countryside for your next event. Designed and crafted with accessibility, inclusivity and environmental impact in mind, we blend sustainability with style to deliver a perfect balance of luxury and nature.
Rooms
Permanently built with solid oak frames, movable panoramic windows and wooden flooring, it combines the charm of traditional canvas tipis with the comfort and reliability of a purpose-designed space. The venue features a built-in stage, circular bar area, shepherd hut restrooms, cloakroom, and a large back-of-house area with a walk-in fridge. Fairy lights, festoons and wagon wheel chandeliers fill the space to create a warm atmosphere throughout the venue. Furniture is all inclusive and fully customisable, this includes large reclaimed dining tables and chairs, comfy bamboo lounge seating, barrels and bar stools, as well as some soft furnishings.
Price
We currently have two rates:
– Weekday (Mon-Thurs) £10,750 (not inc.VAT)

Easy to work with and cost-effective. In 2014 The Venue Booker was asked to identify a suitable, new venue for Chambers’ prestigious Medical Law Lecture. Jenny not only met the brief by finding the right venue but she also secured it on favourable terms.

The event went very well thank you - the venue was superb and fitted our requirements exactly. I wholeheartedly recommend it. I will definitely be in touch when I need help finding a venue for our next event.
Anne Robson, Virtrium
The Venue Booker provided us with a fantastic selection of venues to view for the two events we enquired about – each of these met our brief, several offered something really special and most of them came with discounted rates that we would not have been able to achieve on our own. The service is free of charge and Jenny is friendly and helpful. We will definitely use them again.
