Whilst unemployment is at a all time high for young people, one local graduate’s business concept appears to be perfectly pitched.

Canterbury Tipis has launched itself as a new business providing Authentic Native American Tipis to hire in Kent. Run by graduate Amie Butler, Canterbury Tipis caters for a variety of different markets from parties and weddings to festivals and workshop spaces. A far cry from conventional marquee hire, Canterbury Tipis offers its customers something different to the conventional use of outdoor space.

“For our customers there is a keen sense to be seen as different, and our Tipis make a dramatic statement for outside events” said owner Amie Butler. When asked what influenced her decision to start the business, she replied “being a recent graduate in these tough times it appeared my only option was to create my own business and offer a service which stood out from the crowd”.

Canterbury Tipis provide various sized Tipis and offer delivery, set up, take down and event support as well as authentic furnishings and a bespoke catering service. Owner Amie Butler states “ We want to make every event memorable and special for our customers. Canterbury Tipis have been used as a space for Children’s Workshops, Fashion Shoots and for Festivals. Tipis have proven to be very popular choice”.

Tradition has it that 200 years ago, a chimney Sweep saved the life of King George II by stopping his runaway horse and carriage. The King issued a Royal Decree that Chimney Sweeps are bringers of luck and should be treated with the greatest of respect. So started the tradition and because sweeps are lucky, couples would arrange to meet the sweep at their wedding.

Today, seeing a chimney sweep on your wedding day is still a lucky omen and many couples choose to have them attend their wedding for a handshake for the groom and a lucky kiss for the bride.

With the power vested in him by King George II, our sweep will attend your happy day dressed in traditional sweeps costume, recite a goodwill message, kiss the bride and present the couple with lucky coal pieces to keep and treasure.
