Saw a three man pop up tent in Decathalon, I think it was about £40 and it looked ok.

Look at this on their website, then check the reviews left on the HALFORDS website for it, people are reporting that its all shitty quality but what do you expect for £100?
I got myself a Eurohike Mach2 blackout tent which is for 2 people, it pops out too which makes erections easier  but it really is only a 2 person tent. Got it from Millets, check their website.

Our tent had bad reviews from the proper campers.
It lasted a full weekend and was the hub of much banter so I wouldn't pay much attention to them.

At the end of the day. You're going to a shitty horrible festival. As long as it stays in one piece for the weekend then it's done its job.

was it only £50? I cant remember. The tent is double skin so rain shouldnt be aproblem but like I said it is truely a 2 person tent. If you want a little place to coch, smoke etc with cover you might aswell shell out for a traditional bigger person tent. Or maybe a small marquee thing could solve the social space leaving the tent for purely sleeping and coping a feel of your ex.

I didn't mean it in a bad way. Like you say, that's what it's all about. I just wouldn't go down there with a £300 tent.

My sister always goes to Download Festival, this year she bought a tent, some duvets and other items from Asda and basically left the whole thing there once the festival is over.
