Hi all my partner has just bought a Relum Canaria 4 tent of Ebay and it is fabulous, just put it up this afternoon to waterproof it and notice there isn't a curtain.
Can any one help with advice where I can buy a curtain for it to fit or if anyone has 1 for sale?
Welcome to UKCS. There are reviews here https://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/tents/p/relum-canaria-4/2536 which might have more information. Sounds like a good tent.
It doesn’t look to me that the window in photo ever had curtains? Can’t see anything to suspend them from & nothing to tie them up - obviously, happy to be corrected.
Our outer porch windows (different make of tent) didn’t have curtains, or we wouldn’t have been able to roll back the sides - too bulky.
Is there a kind of 'rail' above the window, a bit like the fastening that zip-lock food bags have but bigger?
Our Cabanon has a curtain track like this, over which threads little clips on the curtains themselves, and each end of the track has a ribbon tie to stop them slipping off (although in heat the track bends and I have to peg the curtain on!). If there IS such a track, maybe you could make a curtain which is simply a hemmed square/rectangle. You can buy replacement clips from tent suppliers that sell Cabanon or similar tents. I had to replace some when I bought my pre-loved Estoril. There is a sort of 'header tape' to hold the top firm but any kind of interfacing or binding would probably suffice.
Also, are there 'tie backs' at each side of the bottom of the window or in the middle? Litte plastic hooky things, as this might indicate the tent did have a curtain also. Ours has them so you can fasten back in the day, or close at night.
Great choice - cotton canvas frame tents rock.
Failing that, could you hang something down from the pole/frame above??? Not sure how to secure at the bottom if it's not vertical, other than putting some weighty objects onto an overlap on the floor.
I hope this helps.

At seemingly circa 25 years old, it's almost a certainty that you'll not find any commercial stock on sale, spares for current model tents are usually hard enough to find!
Couple of (fairly poor) photos on internet suggest it had a pair of curtains running on tracks top and bottom, judging by way they hung in the open position. bridgeywidge's suggestions above would seem to be pretty close to what to expect.
If you can get the clips, and the 'rails' are serviceable, then a DIY sewn curtain, or a dress/curtain maker made pair may be your best option.
