CASE STUDY<br />
Sheepy<br />
A new tipi venue with a<br />
relaxed bohemian feel<br />
in Leicestershire<br />
Meadows<br />
We talk to Ellie Cashmore<br />
about the launch of a tipi<br />
venue by the team behind<br />
the award winning Mythe<br />
Barn and corporate events<br />
company Eventurous. Created<br />
in response to the pandemic,<br />
Sheepy Meadows has gone on<br />
to achieve a Silver ECOsmart<br />
award for its sustainability<br />
practices.<br />
When did you start your venue<br />
business and what is its history?<br />
We began our journey over a<br />
decade ago and now own multiple<br />
enterprises at Mythe Farm,<br />
including award winning wedding<br />
and events venue, Mythe Barn,<br />
and corporate event management<br />
company, Eventurous.<br />
We decided to launch Sheepy<br />
Meadows tipi venue in 2021. The<br />
launch came after we recognised<br />
a growing need for unique<br />
wedding and event venues that<br />
“COVID WAS<br />
A BIG DRIVER,<br />
CREATING<br />
A DEMAND<br />
FOR SPACES<br />
THAT COULD<br />
BE WELL<br />
VENTILATED”<br />
offer something different from<br />
the traditional, something that is<br />
easy to bespoke and eco-friendly.<br />
Covid was a big driver, creating a<br />
demand for spaces that could be<br />
well ventilated.<br />

and site<br />
The venue is at Mythe Farm in<br />
Sheepy Magna, on the borders of<br />
Warwickshire and Leicester. Sitting<br />
within 150 acres of picturesque<br />
countryside, it really is a magical<br />
