Can anyone recommend a good tent shop near Brighton?

[Pollyanna]

I have decided that we are going to buy a new tent and embrace camping as our new hobby/way of getting a holiday. From my very detailed study of tents (ie going through mumsnet archives ) the Outwell Montana (or whichever Outwell tent is big enough...) seems very highly recommended. Does anyone know a good tent shop near (ish) to Brighton that I can drag dh to?

(we are looking for a good/large tent for 4 children and 2 adults at about £400-£600 maybe).

Thanks!

Well there's Johns camping in London Road, I remember going there as a kid with my dad to buy camping stuff and they are still there and are pretty big now I think. Dh and I got our first tent from Campers paradise in Boundary road Portslade. It was cheaper as it had been an ex-display tent. They have a big exhibition with 70-odd tents all set up on Broadwater Green (Worthing) but unfortunately I think you've just missed it for this year. They've got a website if that's any help.
