Anyone aware of any tent displays in this region. Looking to get a tent ahead of the May bank holiday and would be great to see some "in the flesh".

thx

Hi,

Guildford Road: 24th May- 15th June

Wokingham : 5th July - 27th July 

Take a look at website

SK Camping are good too. We have used both shops and have been pleased with the service. SK seem to have better offers from what I can remember!

Prefer camping &  Leisure World myself.

SKcan be good, but be warned not all their deal are as good as they seem.

Brought our Kyham Indiania 8 from them, asked them to price match ( a diff of about £20) They refused saying theirs was special edition so therefore didn't actually qualify for price matching as it wasn't the same tent. Being green to camping and desperate to get a tent we took their word for it. After we'd camped in it a few times, we visited another shop where they had an Indiana 8 on show. Identical to ours, and theirs wasn't special edition. By this time was too late to complain. So am now very wary of Sk camping when purchasing any items these days.

Somethings are cheaper in Sk and some things are cheaper in Camping & Leisure World.

Copied from internet about camping and leisure

"Camping & leisure world are the largest retailer of tents and camping equipment in the south of england. This highly efficient company is expanding and currently has four large sites, each displaying over 100 tents. "

see HERE for more info and their website.

I found them really helpful, when looking for our second tent. Salesman stood with us for ages while we discussed our needs - well we argued he just listened and added point at the right time!!!

Great selection of family tents. We weren't sure what to get and seeing them all up has really helped - Vango, Outwell, Khyam etc.

Campers & Leisure at Oakdene Caravan Site at Ringwood.

Leisure Trail Solent by Haskins Garden Centre in dare I say............Southampton, have a few tents on display.

Forest Camping Centre Nr Ringwood advertise they have a large display of tents - although I've not been to this one.

Hi simpsonj,
Do camping & Leisure World have a good display of family tents ? I'll call them to check on specific ones I'd like to see (Vermont L and Utah 6 mainly), but it would be nice to see a good selection as we're just starting the selection process.
Cheers,
Tim
