ooh err!

Desperate to have a look around their camping equipment - we need some new sleeping bags and chairs.  It's just not the same though if the tents aren't out.  Anyone know when they put them back out?

Thanks.

Don't know about Winfields but I phoned GoOutdoors Coventry today - I have similar thoughts to you. They said they will either start pitching display tents about mid-March or have dates when they will start.

Looks like we will have to curb our desperation and impatience a while longer.

Last year Winfields at Haslingden, started puting up the Tent display, first week of March, by the 10th March, the display was all but complete. the display was entirley "Polyester" with no "PolyCotton" or "Cotton" tents.

For "PolyCotton" or "Cotton" the best places around my area for displays are, Yeomens near Windermere and Caseys (Cotton) at Chester.

Further afield, was Don Valley, well worth a visit if your looking for a decent tent, even GO have a decent, if limited display of "PolyCotton" tents.

Thanks for the replies.  In the end, I couldn't resist and popped in.  Got myself a new sleeping bag (into which my DD was sick during the test at home - lovely) and got the kids some hats.  Don't need a new tent but I do enjoy wandering around the set ups!  They start putting the tents up on the 7th March, I'll give them a week to put them up and then go for a look. 

Thanks for the tip on Cotton tents - I've never seen one in the flesh.  How big are the displays?

Winfields in Hull has tents pitched indoors all year round!
Great for feeding the withdrawal symptoms - we go for a regular family wander - in fact we went yesterday!
