Festival tent for family of four

We're going to go to a couple of festivals this year, but don't currently have a tent and it's a long, long, time since I've been near one. Can anyone recommend something that's reasonably easy to put up and pretty roomy? I'm not so bothered about price as this will be our holidays this year.

And should I just buy something now or do prices go down in the Summer?

There were lots of special offers around last summer - I got a set from Millets that included a basic family tent - the kind with two sleeping compartments, one either side of a living/eating/storage area - plus one double and two single airbeds and one double and two single sleeping bags, all for about £89 - this was in July, just in time to set off for a festival.

The tent was fine, quite easy to put up (no instructions and not enough tent pegs, though - you definitely need to do a practise run at home). I'm not sure if I'd trust it in heavy rain or strong winds, but I'll probably be using it again for a festival or two this year.

If there are four of you and you are going to be using it quite a bit this summer (but not necessarily going on long camping holidays), you could probably get something really quite good for under £200 if you watch out for special offers.
