It began over 10 years ago, the first time I saw a yurt I was intriqued by the convergence and symmetry of the beautifully curved frame and crown.
Easy to move, yet sturdy and strong, it was new and exciting. Inspired, I began researching Yurts and was drawn in to a new world of canvas covered structures built by people who lived simple and completely nomadic lives. The Mongolians have been living and traveling with yurts for over a hudred years. |
Unlike a Tipi 'Though elegant' – Yurts used wood burners which made keeping warm and breathing possible.
Unlike Domes – Yurts offered nurturing gentleness and a view of the sky.
Unlike Tents – Well, that goes without saying!

Before we started making yurt for customers we decided to experience the lifestyle first hand while we built an alternative structure inspired by yurts as a home. As our home came together we lived in a yurt in the garden.
My experience of living in a yurt was a fantastic experience; it was peaceful, it was simple and very calm. Collecting wood, carrying water and keeping cosy by the fire on the cold nights, my favourite part was watching the moon through the crown. THE EYE TO THE HEAVENS as some would say. It took me back to that time as a child when you built dens with all the material and cushions you could find. Our home lasted over 14 winters with a curved yurt like roof made from flexible hazel poles and vertical walls.
My Partner and I began making Yurts for people in 2005 as the yurt craze began, and at that time there were only 3/4 Yurt makers that where established, we were fully booked for months in advance.
I have focused on creating the best possible method for a ethical and eco product that will last, making the erection and creation of the yurt as simple and sturdy as possible.
The present:
We are a family run business with my son and daughter joining the team. We have now completed over 250 yurts and we are always busy. We supply campsites up and down the country, as well as to many individuals with homes, summer spaces, traveling stalls and/or play rooms.
As well as building yurts for clients, we have up to 11 yurts for glamping at events like Glastonbury festival and Green Gathering, weddings, corperate events, parties, etc.
The future:
Our goal is to continue to provide the best, top quality yurts in the country to many exsisting clients and new clients. We will keep hiring out, but are looking to find more hire gigs. And we would like to be setting up our own camp site to offer a great affordable Yurt Experience, with out own unique twist. We would like to support worthy organizations creating campsites that in-part, use Yurts to encourage people to experience more of the outdoor lifestyle.
