Hi, I'm a lurker on here and have signed up as I'd appreciate some advice. I'm after a 7-8 berth tent, in 3-4 bedrooms if possible, that is easy for one adult and 2 children aged 11 and 8, to put up. I've been searching round, mostly after reading a lot on here, and reckon the Vango Albany 800 fits my longish list of wants!
However, I would really like to see it 'in the flesh' before committing hard earned cash to it, and don't know where the nearest display of tents to me is. I'm in Cambridge, and I can only find the Norwich camping and leisure store that has displays of tents.
So - does anyone know anywhere slightly nearer Cambridge that might have a range of tents up on display? Any suggestions welcome.
Also - is the Vango a good tent for my needs? Ease of putting up is a main priority, as is the bedrooms - my two are adamant they won't share a room any more, and want their own space! Help!! Does it have a sewn in groundsheet? I don't think it does, but can't find a definite answer so am hoping someone here will know for sure.
Thank you in advance!

Well I went to the centre suggested by Fogey - they had quite a few tents, not the Albany though - really enjoyed trying them all out for size! Really likes the Outdoor revolution Starcamper 8 and the Khyam Quebec 8. There was also another garden centre just up the road with 4 tents on display, one of which was the Vango Albany 800
So - now I'm really excited about getting a tent and getting out and about, but don't know which to get!
I've also been looking at the Gelert Horizon 8 - seems very similar to the Vango so I'm undecided which to get. Does anyone have the Gelert Horizon 8? If so, are there 3 separate bedrooms - ie can you remove one double bedroom, leaving a larger 4bed room, and one double room, to free up a bit of living space if you want to?
If it does this, I will prob get the Gelert - this feature was in the Khyam, and thought it'd make it that bit more versatile in terms of the living space. The Vango is lovely, but has two large bedrooms, one with a divider curtain, one separated into 2 rooms, but you can't take one out independently.
Sorry this is so lengthy - I just want to get the best tent I can! I like to do lots of research!!!
