A fantastic opportunity to go and see these incredible giant teepees set up and decked out.  If you’re considering a giant teepee for your wedding, I’d definitely recommend a visit – Mr Rigg and I went to see the giant teepees set up last autumn in Sussex and you really get a feel for the atmosphere you can create inside them.

PapaKåta are holding an open weekend on the 9th and 10th October 2010 just outside York.  You can drop in at any time to say hello, sip a glass of bubbly and toast marshmallows on the brazier – or you can book an appointment with one of their team.
