Hi there,
I've just purchased the new Vango Diablo 600 xp (black 'n' mercury). Were a family of 3, with a little girl. This tent is absolutely huge, and is very spacious. With 2 bedrooms and a very large living area. This tent sleeps 6 people, but could easily sleep 10, if you include the living area.
It's RRP is £350.00, but we paid £255.00 delivered from a website called Allweathers. Here's the link if you are interested

Allweathers seems to be very reasonably priced for all their camping gear!!!
Hope you enjoy. :)

Have a look at the first section in this thread, it may help with a few tips on choosing a tent.
http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/chatter/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=3&TopicID=94074&PagePosition=6
As for tent makes, this is a previously compiled list which may help:
Commonly available (UK) tents, with established reputations are:
- Cabanon
- Easycamp
- Coleman
- Gelert
- Kyham/Campus
- Outwell
- Relum
- Sunncamp
- Vango
- Wynnster
Less common and specialist brands, but still with established reputations:
- Aztec
- Quest/Basecamp
- Eureka
- Force Ten
- Heidelberg
- Jack Wolfskin
- Jamet
- Lichfield
- Blue Diamond/Outdoor Revolution
- Messager
- Marechal
- Microfast
- Nordic Outdoor
- North Face
- Quechua
- Robens
- Royal
- Terra Nova
- Vaude
- Wild Country
Then there are some established shop brands, including:
- Blacks (Blacks)
- Eurohike (Millets)
- Peakland (Yeomans)
- ProAction (Argos)
- Attwoolls (Attwoolls)
The there are some imported tents, which are not normally retailed in the UK - so support like repair and relacements might be an issue, but generally they get, depending on the tent, good to excellent comments on here:
- Coleman US
- DeWaard
- Karsten
- Kelty
- Ransted
- Skandika
.. and then finally there are the famed too-good-to-be true, direct from tat-land, Ebay "specials", which are to be avoid like an unexploaded bomb in a fireworks factory.
