Yes the freedom trail is more suited to standing room tents. But - the pole is a fibre glass sectional one so you could probably still use it and either just not put all of the pole segments up or even just remove some (dead easy to do) to make it a suitable height. Alternatively ask around to see if someone has a spare pole you can use which is smaller. The tent end of the tent might also be too long though. However it's likely Go Outdoors will have one up and also have a tent similar to yours so if you go on a quiet day and sweet talk them they may try it for you.
The Vango adventure tarp has some reviews on here which include the sizes - http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/tents/p/Vango-Adventure-Tarp/2943
Manky Millets also do a Eurohike one which is only £20 and if you buy immediately has another 20% off but that offer finishes either today or tomorrow. I dont know if it comes with a pole. The Decathlon one comes with 2 poles.

You can use an adventure tarp on a Vango Beta but it works better backwards, as in with the elasticated edge over the front pole. it doesn't give you much coverage though as it is designed for tents with front not side doors.
Vango do a tunnel tarp for the Beta, we have one and it works really well, a bit dearer though.
