Didn't have a close look but my local Tescos has some camping kit in, including an 8-man dome tent for about £87

Has 3 rooms (2-people, 4-people, 2-people) and a large porch / communal area..

This looks a bargain.

Also take a look at the Aztec domes, I've got a 6 berth and they're very well made.

I got one from here:

Good service.

If you click on the link that says "Tents" it gives you a list according to how many the tent is supposed to sleep. Of course the amount that can fit is counted using thin people sleeping with their arms by their sides who never roll around and don't carry any kit.

Isn't that that programme where the bald guy runs about whilst people do daft puzzles to win prizes by grabbing gold tickets?? "Will you start the fans please!" Sorry, OT I know!

I was at Fort Paull today, my dad is in a reenactment society as a german, but some of the canvas on display was great, especially the huge ridge pole tents the american GIs were using. A family would easily fit in, and what a fantastic home it would be for a weeks camping. Stylish, add a few kero lamps and a small brazier out front to cook on, perfect home from home!

The link below has to be worth a look, I've delt with the retailer in the past and can honestly say the service I recieved was second to none.
Just to clarify I have not connection with this retailer other than as a customer.
Cheers Tim

Be careful about the alleged number of people it is designed for! We have a six man tent with two bedrooms a huge dome and a porch big enough for a cooking area. The bedrooms you can stand up in and they would sleep 5 reasonably comfortably(5 per room 10 altogether!) but tents we bought for explorers that are supposedly 12 man would only fit 9 people(3 per bedroom). I will try and find teh brand and design of ours, it was pretty cheap and I can put it up myself.
