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.
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.
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.
We currently have two rates:
– Weekday (Mon-Thurs) £10,750 (not inc.VAT)

I recommend using The Venue Booker! Jenny was absolutely amazing; from sourcing a number of venues to getting me and my event booked in successfully. She was very patient and friendly even when I asked her 1001 questions and changed the details of my event, she was happy to help. She was very fast at replying and on job with chasing up venues. Very good and professional service. Thank you!!! Even through the pandemic, Jenny made my event possible. I would use The Venue Booker again.

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.
