Are you hoping to join the tents to save on site fees?

There is one sort of set up you could use, which is the Quechua base full (discontinued but still available on ebay) with some smaller Quechua four man pop ups under each of the 'eyelids'. The set up is designed to be flexible with the base full acting as the 'living room'.

Other than that, because of guy ropes, tent's won't really fit snugly together, and any site owner would have something to say about it anyway. I was on a site where they had a big family tent, and beside it they had tried to dock a smaller family tent. It wasn't a pup tent as such (that a small tent a teenager will often sleep in) or if it was, they were really pushing the boundaries. Needless to say they were told to take one of them down.

I think if you were content to go for two side by side pitches, you should get something like 2 Vango Icarus's, and put a tarp between them to act as a communal living room, barbecue area. That way, for not much money, you'll have your own seperate tents which you then have the freedom to use altogether or apart, whatever you fancy at the time.

Many sites have a rally field, used for biker meets and all sorts of meets (this forum even has meets - Pillaton Farm, Staffordshire in September and one in Devon too). Most of them would give a discount for a group, especially if you told them it was a Corporate Team Building thing.

There is a large tent you can get called the Hi Gear Kalahari 10, two of you could sleep in the living room section....but you'd need to be really good friends if you're sleeping cheek to cheek with your colleagues.

I would approach a local Decathlon store manager, ask for a discount on a bulk order and get a load of small pop up tents. Arrange them in a circle and have your barbecue in the middle. For 2 people you really need a four man one, although I'd want my own. They're £54.99 each.

I would have said tha the perfect tents for you would have been the now discontinued coleman evolva

they can be linked bedrooms added or removed chef annexe fitted and link sections used to join them together

Coleman evolva

i dont know why coleman stopped making it but they can be bought second hand on e bay and on the free adds here
