A Venue Like No Other – John Muir Tipis

Tucked away on a peaceful coastal farm, right on the edge of John Muir Country Park, you’ll find something truly special…

John Muir Tipis – a unique event space surrounded by nature, just a hop from Edinburgh, but a world away from the usual.

Whether you’re planning a wedding, a big birthday bash or a relaxed work do, our stunning tipis are ready to wow up to 150 seated guests. Think rustic wooden tables, benches, fire pits (inside and out), power, water, loos – all the essentials, wrapped in woodland charm.

🌿 Up to 150 guests seated
🌿 Coastal woodland setting
🌿 Rustic tables & benches
🌿 Fire pits (marshmallows, anyone?)
🌿 Indoor loos, water & power
🌿 Amazing photo ops
🌿 Preferred local suppliers
🌿 Close to Edinburgh
🌿 Optional VIP alpaca guests 🦙

Yes, you read that right – our alpacas are more than happy to mingle as VIPs (Very Important Pacas… bow ties and all).

But if alpacas aren't your vibe, no offence taken – they’ll simply alpaca-their-bags and head to a quieter field. 😉

Special thanks
