Hi Mrs Storm. Pay a bit more and get one of these Khyam Kansas 8 from Outdoor Megastore.

Bascially it's the same tent but about a meter longer. It was and is still my first tent. Up in 20 mins and another 20 to peg out and put the pods in. Loads of standing room and the eight bedroom are big enough. Myself and my wife have the big pod to our selves and our clothes, and we've had two adults with an inflatable double bed in a single pod comfortably. That leaves the third pod to store everything else. The main area is big enough for a table and four chairs. Make sure you get the footprint ground sheet for it and if you have the pennies then the carpet is brilliant.

We've had this tent in Cornwall in gale force storms and torrential rain. It rocked as expected but we all woke up dry and the tent none the worse for wear.

Mrs Storm, there are tent shops here with displays better than Millets (which wouldn't be too hard), the Scout shop in Belfast have some in shop but they hold a display day in the grounds of RBAI opposite where you will see a huge range, once a year maybe twice.

Also http://www.lpctents.com/ in Bangor do a good range.  Old Mill caravans in Ballymoney, and Downshire in Banbridge.  There are plenty of tent shops in Northern Ireland you just need to look for them.  Most tent manufacters will list dealers, there will be local ones.  The masses will go to Millets, Argos, Tesco, Asda etc but if you are after a named brand then do your  homework and find a tent shop.  We are not so back water here as you think!

We had a tent delivered from The Great Outdoors in May for our daughter, a Vango Swift.  It cost £99 and was free delivery to here (back then it was free over £75).  Unless they have changed their policy I would ring and ask why you were charged!  They do not use Royal Mail but a courier.

Most tent shops here will order the model you are after at no extra charge to you, and you will have the personal back up of the store.
