Common misconception, but fans do not actually cool the air in general, in fact technically they add a little bit of heat TOO the air by working it, but they do cool people if playing directly on them by wind chill effect. So as previously mentioned they can do nothing more than move warm air around, unless all the occupants of the tent are directly in the noticeable airflow and benefit from wind chill effect.
So perhaps more effective than one BIG fan just circulating warm air, small 'personal' fans blowing directly over each person may be more useful.
I've got a mains powered 6 inch fan in the caravan which TBH doesn't shift a lot of air and is slightly noisy in the quiet of the night, but last year I acquired from Lidl (one of their limited middle ailse offers) a USB rechargeable personal fan only about 3 inch diameter and it's brilliant, 3 speeds (the low speed is adequate), it'll run all night on a charge (low speed), it shifts impressive volumes of air and is very quiet. Sadly I can't find anywhere in UK stocking the identical fan (this is as close as I've found: https://www.amazon.co.uk/COF-Portable-wireless-Rechargeable-Foldable-Black/dp/B01LLESNWU), but may be worth keeping an eye on Lidl/Aldi in next few weeks (they do tend to repeat the same items each year), or do a bit more Googling than I did for something similar.
As to the tent, Outwell tend to be quite good designs, so ensure all air vents are properly opened to get as much change of air as possible.
