We are thinking about getting a family tent, where can we go and look at a good selection?
We live in Preston but would be happy to go a little further afield.

Outdoor world in Warrington also have a number pitched - maybe a dozen, not sure how that compares to other places.

Or if you don't mind going a bit further, try Casey's camping at the Grosvenor Garden Centre just south of Chester. They have a good selection set up outside - it's interesting to see & feel the different lightness and temperatures inside the tents when they're out in the sun.

You can also try Go Outdoors near Stockport - although I've never been there so I can't comment on what it's like.

Compared to other Go Outdoors (oh alright, the only other one I've been to, which is in Loughborough), there aren't that many pitched at Stockport, perhaps 14 family tents at a quick mental recollection slightly impaired by a nice Shiraz!

 Yes, Caseys, but last time I was there it was pouring - interesting to see which were letting in dribbles at the seams!

If you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, just keep going till you go round the bend.
