Where to see tents before buying

[hockeymum]

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

hiya Hockey mum

we go to Raglan Garden centre near Usk, they have loads up. Alternatively, Walford cross Caravan and Camping have a huge display, theya re near Taunton. We are regulars at both

If you want directions just ask

(Usk about 6 miles from us, Caerleon, if you don't know it)

Oh and Dh says Gwent camping in newport (behind the hospital)- forgot 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!

have put name down for meet up, thanks

The camping store has a website, though display bigger than site. hang on....
