Welcome to Herf Yurts.....makers, hirers and sellers of traditionally hand-crafted Yurts. We also strive to make everything easy for you by providing a friendly, approachable and knowledgeable service. All our wood is coppiced within a ten mile radius and is cut down to encourage the biodiversity of the woodland, thus having a positive impact on the local ecosystem. We then use traditional craft
smanship to work with the natural grain and contours of the wood using draw knives, spoke shaves and planers before steam-bending our poles using ancient techniques. The result is a unique, natural and beautiful space that welcomes you and your guests on many wonderful occasions. We are four young, fun-loving and ambitious men from Chepstow in South Wales, who, having gained 22 years experience with a marquee company, have turned long-harboured dreams into a reality by establishing Herf Yurts Ltd. By doing so, we bring the first ever Grand Yurt to Wales as well as a vehement vow to provide an unrivalled event experience and impeccable customer service. During our vast experience of project managing events catering for 10 to 5000 guests, we have learnt all the skills necessary to provide event perfection with a personal touch. Chameleonesque, our Yurts adapt to provide you with an idyllically bespoke venue for your special occasion. We provide:
Wedding Yurts
Festival Yurts
Party Yurts
Bar Yurts
Hospitality Yurts
Conference Yurts
Exhibition Yurts
Build-to-order Yurts (as children’s playhouses or outside rooms)
Whichever you choose, we pride ourselves on working in close unison with you to ensure everything is tailored to your complete satisfaction. From our initial customer-led consultation process right through to a meticulous post-event clear-up we strive to smooth your path to Yurt perfection. This is supplemented by our extensive and intimate knowledge of the events industry in Monmouthshire and South Wales as a whole, as well as through The Wye Valley and into Bristol, which means we are able to draw on a wealth of contacts to meet your every need. Equally, it also means we are talented at working in unison with other companies in order to bring each element of your event together smoothly and efficiently. Having been seduced by the architectural individuality and elegant simplicity of Yurts we began our adventure by acquiring the skills necessary to create such beautiful spaces. Already possessing a pre existing appreciation for the sustainable nature of nomadic Central Asian life, we strove to maintain these values by painstakingly hand-crafting our Yurts using ancient techniques with coppiced wood sourced within a 10-mile radius of our base in a way which contributed to the positive management of local woodland. A myriad of helpful phone calls and emails with the wonderful Yurt community in the UK pointed us in the direction of Tobias Fairlove, a fantastic gentlemen who has lovingly hand-crafted his own Yurts for a quarter of a century. He was the perfect consulting expert for our first ambitious 45ft Grand Yurt, (which will comfortably hold 130 seated and 250 standing), having pioneered the building of large Yurts in the UK many years ago. We will forever be thankful for his expert tutelage and superb company as he happily imparted 20 years of knowledge to us four eager apprentices over an enthralling 6-month period. You join us at the beginning of our great Yurt adventure, with a magnificently hand crafted Grand Yurt available for you to hire and thus make your big occasion special. Whilst we only have the single Yurt currently, we will be making more in the near future, so if we don’t have exactly what you need to meet your requirements at present or would like to commission a Yurt to buy, please don’t hesitate to contact us as you may find our respective plans coincide. Furthermore, we have a plethora of electrical, lighting, furniture, venue and catering contacts at our disposal and maybe able to negotiate a cheaper price, so please give us a call or email and we will strive to help you out as best we can.
