YURTS AS BEAUTIFUL AND FUNCTIONAL AS A YURT SHOULD BE
Yurt Specialist Rob Matthews outside his own yurt
Rob & Ratna Matthews established the Yurt Workshop nerly 20 years ago.
They first learnt yurt making in Somerset from the UK's most experienced yurt makers.
Having apprecticed with such a predtigious teacher was a blessing. However, later on Rob then traveled to Central Asia to continue training and refining their technique and design.
In fact they have never stopped learning and continue to improve on the design and techniques each year.
In a nutshell, we create high-quality luxury yurts, specifically adapted for the UK and European climates. Combining traditional designs and craftsmanship with the finest modern materials, we specialize in crafting beautiful, finely made yurts.
With a focus on traditional methods they have an extensive woodworking shop where we craft the beautiful oak crowns and the splendid doors and windows we are known for.
The Yurt Workshop is one of the longest-established yurt makers in Europe, having crafted hundreds of yurts that have been shipped to various countries, including the UK, France, Belgium, Holland, Italy, Portugal, Germany, Spain, the USA, Australia, and more.
Rob is a highly respected yurt maker and a pioneer in high-quality, innovative, and authentic yurt designs. Our yurts feature several unique elements not found in others, including the pioneering Glass Wall yurt and, more recently, the introduction of the double-skin roof for enhanced protection in all climates.
In fact, the Yurt Workshop is the only known workshop in the UK and Europe that handcrafts authentic yurts. This makes us truly unique, offering high-quality, traditional designs specifically tailored to withstand the UK and European climates.
When we started this business, our goal wasn’t just to replicate what other yurt makers were doing. We aimed to create something better—a yurt that would truly stand out. While it was a challenge, as many builders were already producing high-quality yurts, our dedication, hard work, and clear vision drove us to create something truly exceptional.
In fact, the Yurt Workshop is the only workshop in UK & Europe making hand crafted authentic yurts we know of. As a result the Yurt Workshop remains unique in offering high quality authentic designs made for the UK & European climate.
To help you get started on your yurt journey with us, we’ve published a comprehensive guide to buying one of our yurts, which you can find on our website.
