I'm having trouble finding a nativity scene that I like.
It has to have all the main people, Mary, Joseph, Jesus (obviously) wise men and preferably angel and a couple of animals
I'd like it to have a stable but every one I've seen has horrid fake moss stuck on.
The figures need to be freestanding, not stuck onto the stable
I don't really want to pay more than £50.
am I too fussy?
can anyone help?

Usually have things like that at fairtrade sales- think they might be cafod( or religious bookshops/ charity shops. )

There are a number of listings on eBay for the East of India wooden nativity set like this. They aren't traditional figures but they are beautiful.

This one is lovely. Wish I could justify the expense.

Two years agin I spent about a squillion pounds on the Lenox one (look on American eBay). I don't regret it, as it's beautiful and something for life, but my God it was expensive!

the one tippytap has linked to is lovely so wish I couldn't justify it!! we have a very cheap Tesco one which is pretty much falling apart.
