Where to see tents before buying

we're thinking of getting a tent for family long weekends, but I love my comfort so we want a decent one we can stand up in with a SIG etc.

I've looked at the websites for plans, pics etc, but still cant imagine in my head how big things are.

Are there any good shops in South Wales/ South West preferably where we could see tents up to get a better idea?

Thanks

If you can find a tent shop near you, ask them if they know of any tent shows coming up - lots of companies gather together, stick tents up and the kids have great fun playing in them

Oh thank you PeacyClare - might go to Raglan tomorrow then - something to do!

Shouldn't be too far from Cardiff for a bit of a jolly.

Oh and we are doing a welsh meet up soon in HaHa's in Cardiff if you're interested - its on the meet up board.

Thanks for the advice!
