Townend Tipis and Farm offers a bespoke festival-style wedding experience for couples who are looking for something a little different for their special day. The perfect place to celebrate your nuptials is amongst the lush greenery and crisp country air of Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire. This romantic outdoor venue has stunning winding woodland walkways, along with wide open areas with breathtaking vistas of the surrounding countryside. Although it is no longer a working farm, the property has a few extra guests for your list, including pet horses, chickens, peacocks, cats and dogs.

Facilities and Capacity

Being a venue that is solely outdoors, the property focuses on Tipis. Their three giant tipi hats lie on the beautiful polo lawns and provide ample space for you and your guests to enjoy the day. With the capacity to accommodate 200 guests for a standing reception or 150 guests for a traditional seated reception, your wedding will be a huge hit. These blank canvas tipis offer the rare opportunity to display your personal style and let your imagination run wild. Split your day between the tipis, welcome drinks with a roaring fire and soft furnishings in one hat, a sit-down meal in another and a full tipi hat for a dance floor, creating a seamless transition between events.

Services Offered

The staff will be on hand throughout the planning process and throughout the day to ensure that everything runs smoothly. The venue also offers a catering tent, connected to mains electricity and water, as well as a fully stocked and staffed bar and luxury toilets. All tents are decked out in fairy lights to create a welcoming and warm atmosphere. Celebrate the rustic wedding of your dreams at Townend Tipis and Farm.

The most perfect venue

Both Hedley & Claudia are the most down to earth, welcoming, incredible hosts. They simply can't do enough for you and you really feel like you've got such an amazing personalised experience. From start to finish, they were so helpful and informative. We had a very DIY wedding and the venue was absolutely perfect. They have gorgeous grounds which include an on site cottage, a little forest area, and then the tipi's on the fields. We cannot recommend this site enough, it was an absolutely perfect day and we wish we could do it all over again!

The best day of our lives!

We recently got married at Townend Farm and had the most magical day. This venue has so many possibilities to make it your own. For us, a whimsical woodland ceremony into a festival inspired reception was our vibe, and with townend farm as your blank canvas anything is possible. ESPECIALLY when you throw the wonderful venue owners Hedley and Claudia into the mix. They were really invested in our day and helping us to finalise all those special details. Claudia was on hand throughout the day ensuring everything ran smoothly, and making sure I always had a cold beer (thank you!). They're both so genuinely happy to see your love story, it feels like another loving guest in your presence. Hedley loves chatting to guests and making sure they are well looked after in the drinks department, serving gorgeous cocktails all night.

We loved booking the venue for the weekend so that we could welcome guests on the Friday night and say farewell on the Sunday. It was exactly how we pictured it. Most of our guests stayed in bell tents on site, which Hedley and Claudia were more than happy to accommodate, even hooking one tent up to power so the girls could use hair appliances to get ready.

If you're wanting a wedding that can be completely personalised to you, with owners who are genuinely interested and invested in your day, then you will not regret booking Townend Farm.

The best wedding venue, the owners are fab!

Really good value for money.
You barely need to decorate the place is so cute itself as a base!
All our guests were commenting on how stunning the venue is all day!
Claudia and hedley get so involved and stuck in and they sort any problem they see before you even know there is one! They sorted several issues raised from our caterers and we were none the wiser! They get so involved in making your day run smoothly and they genuinely clearly enjoy it so much!
Hedley was great at making sure our glasses were never empty and Claudia captured soany amazing moments for us and had tons of amazing suggestions and help both visually and logistically!
They even ran our rehearsal for us several times till it was perfect!
We couldn't recommend them higher!
Also great value for money!

The Whitehouse Wedding!

Our wedding venue was truly something so special and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better team to make our day so perfect. Claudia and Hedley, you were absolutely incredible from start to finish. You couldn’t have been more helpful, supportive and attentive throughout the entire process. Your organisation and attention to detail were second to none — everything was so perfectly coordinated and as a result, the whole day ran seamlessly. You were so regimented and professional in the best possible way, making sure every little detail was taken care of and that everything happened exactly as it should. You both went above and beyond our expectations and made our wedding even more incredible than we could ever have dreamed of. We will be forever grateful to you both for everything you did for us. Our wedding was truly magical and you played such a huge part in making it the most amazing day. We couldn’t recommend the venue and you wonderful people highly enough! ❤️✨

Summer Wedding

Me and my Husband had our wedding here two weeks ago and what a day, the venue is so unique and picturesque. We honestly couldn't of asked for more from Claudia and Hedley on the day they was super helpful and interacted with our guests like they was a friend. Nothing was to much we could decorate and use the space exactly how we wanted, i would also recommend booking the cottage this had lovely modern decor but with a cosy feel to it (even in the heatwave). Our friends, family and vendors was amazed just how lovely this venue was i would definitely recommend Townend Tipis to host a special event.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
