How about the Lichfield Cherokee: http://www.outdooraction.co.uk/acatalog/LICHFIELD_CHEROKEE_2_TENT__2006_.html

You get a lot of porch for your money and dead easy to put up!

My top tip is a Gelert Tornado 3 http://www.oswaldbailey.co.uk/eshop.asp?wci=product&wce=51101801&desc=TORNADO+3+PERSON+TENT

Well within your budget, spacious for two or even better for one, a manageable weight for carrying it across festival fields, reputable make/decent quality, useable porch size for boots and sitting under in rain or sun. The porch has front and side doors so you can vary it to suit the weather conditions -  when tents have  a smaller porch and front opening only it can be hard to keep the rain etc out of the main sleeping dome.

Also, the main structure is a dome rather than a tunnel and domes can be better for festivals. Tunnel tents are more dependent on their guys to stay up so are more vulnerable to problems when other festival goers trip over your guys.  MT

Argos have a sale on this bank holiday weekend for a 6 man Pro Action tent for £39.99.
It is a lot of tent for the price and seems a great buy. Has anyone bought a proaction tent in the past? I have heard mixed reviews about the cheaper brands.

Would it be worth buying a smaller 'better branded' tent?

In a word, yes.

Thanks for the advice :) I have had a good read of some of the threads on here and the ProAction tents have generally bad reviews.

There are a lot of Vango tents around £50 on Ebay, are they worth buying?
