Venue Intelligence

Newland, Forest of Dean

A whimsical teepee in the woods.

Tan House is a whimsical, exclusive-use teepee wedding venue in the Royal Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, for up to 70 guests. Couples marry with a humanist or celebrant-led ceremony in the candlelit teepee, the stone barn, or the grounds, feast and dance beneath the canvas, and stay in quirky boutique accommodation dotted through the woodland and meadow.

A Humanist Ceremony, a Candlelit Feast.

Ceremonies at Tan House are humanist or celebrant-led, so a couple marries in their own words, in the candlelit teepee, in a pretty stone barn draped with voile and florals, or out in the grounds. The feast and the party follow beneath the teepee canvas, glowing and candlelit, dressed with hanging blooms, and the celebration runs long into the woodland evening, relaxed, joyful and entirely your own.

Relaxed, Generous, Made for a Party.

Food at Tan House is easy and sociable, private catering welcomed and a range of relaxed feasting options: wood-fired pizza fresh from the oven, sharing boards of charcuterie and canapes, feasting tables that keep everyone together. Drinks are playful too, a gin bar dressed with fresh flowers, trays of passionfruit martinis, served in the teepee and the grounds.

The Candlelit Teepee

A magical teepee, tropical and playful by day, candlelit and glowing by night, for the feast and the party.

Humanist Ceremonies

Marry in your own words, in the teepee, the voile-draped stone barn, or the grounds, celebrant-led.

Quirky Boutique Stays

Shepherd's huts, a hot-tub cabin, a gypsy caravan and boutique bedrooms dotted through the woodland.

A Festival Feeling

Exclusive hire for up to 70, relaxed feasting, a gin bar, and a genuine sense of magic and fun.

Gypsy Caravans, Hot Tubs and a Zebra or Two.

What people remember about Tan House is the character dotted everywhere. A vintage gypsy caravan crowned with a floral chandelier. A boutique cabin with a wood-fired hot tub glowing at dusk. A shepherd's hut on staddle stones in the meadow. Woodland walks, misty light through the trees, a garden path between urns of white blooms, and, in the styling, the odd safari flourish, a zebra beside the drinks. It is a venue with a sense of humour and a genuine sense of magic, set deep in the Forest of Dean.
