There are four of us (dd's 6 and nearly 4). DH and dd1 camped out last night in the garden in my inherited 30 year old cotton orange and brown family tent complete with orange floral curtains.
Sadly this lovely tent has a hole in it where the mice have got at it and I think it is too big to repair. So we have been looking at new tents....

It will be for weekend use rather than two weeks away.
In the UK.
Budget about £200 but could go up a bit if persuaded.
What do you think?
Do you have one of these you love / hate???

I like the idea of the add on canopies / extensions...

TIA.

Are you near to any of ages=OutdoorExhibitions these places to have a look. Just a word of warning - don't go on the last day of the show as they will be starting to take them all down as we learnt today!

OK wrong link will try again in a mo!

Hello.
Thank you for that. We have just missed the one at Worcester but I will try to persuade DH to go to Trentham . Great tip thanks. We have actually seen these three in action but still can't decide......
Leaning to the Tigris but Orchy very airy...
Nevada is lovely but no canopy option...

We just bought the Vango Orchy 600 and I have no complaints at all. Loved the fact that we could lift the sheet between us to check on the dses during the night, and it was easy to remove first thing in the morning so they could come across to us.

Well, 1 smallish complaint: not very many pockets. But we took along a hanging shoe rack from IKEA and it worked fine.

Ha, we have decided on the Tigris 800 after a lot of faffing and visiting tent displays 6 times!
We haven't ordered quite yet but I am very excited .

We have the tigris 800 too. Just a word of warning though, if you want the sage one (we have that one) please be aware that you can't get a tunnel extension with the door to fit the side of the tent as they only do it in smoke (blue) at the moment although we have been told by Vango that they will do the sage version next year.

Hello HenniPenni. Are you on UKCamping too? I followed that whole canopy thread with interest when I was looking at the Tigris 600 .
I think we prefer the Smoke anyway but that is a great tip thank you. If we extend (I would like to) I was looking at the Gelert or Horizon enclosed porch one of the other posters recommended on there......
