About Us

An Aussie boy meets an English girl. They fall in love and plan an epic wedding under tipi tents in the countryside of Hampshire. Dreaming of life by the coast, they move to the Mornington Peninsula and launch a business creating epic events under canvas.

Where it all began.

Gather Round founders Hannah and Zak know first-hand the magic of tipis. In 2016, the pair married under three majestic Nordic tipis on a bush block in the countryside of Hampshire, with nothing but stretched canvas between them and the starry night sky. 

Both avid adventurers, they'd met whilst travelling years earlier. They instantly connected over a love of nature and a shared appreciation of life's simple pleasures, namely great food, wine, and company. 

The young couple wanted to create a roaming venue that could bring people together to connect and delight in these simple joys. Hence, Peninsula Tipi Co was born, becoming another feather in the cap for Gather Round Events. 

Peninsula Tipi Co provides party-goers with a setting that combines the natural beauty of the great outdoors with the comfort and intimacy of an indoor venue. With a range of configuration options, they create the perfect space for unique events, from intimate dinners and corporate functions to festivals, weddings and celebrations.

Their packages include options for naked or enclosed Nordic tipis, with festoon lighting, furnishings, dance floors and fire pits available. 
Hannah and Zak now live seaside in Mount Martha, though you can find Peninsula Tipi Co popping up all across the Mornington Peninsula, Yarra Valley, Gippsland, Geelong and Greater Melbourne. 

Gather Round's full suite of services includes their beloved Pizza Wagon, Gelati Cart, Old Fashioned Bar, Pretty Cool Room and Privy the Pretty luxury mobile bathrooms.
