I've just bought a Gelert Stratus tunnel 3 for a bargain. 3 man but could easily sleep 4 and loads of front stoarge space.

i'm a beginner too but over the moon with this one

Is it easy to pitch? If it were to rain (August, but this is England!), would it rain in? Ive had bad experiences of tents that rain in. not nice

not sure I would group Coleman with geert and lichfield to be honest!!

Coleman is one of the top tent manufacturers  and altho Gelert make some pretty good budget tents ,I certainly wouldnt put them on a par with Coleman.

Hi Lauren2005 - if it is for festival use I would suggest ( from personal experience) that a dome is better than a tunnel, cos festival camping can leave you without room for guying out (and there is the annoying experience of people constantly walking past and causing guylines to ping off the pegs,grrrr! )

A dome is more stable and can stay up more successfully without guylines than a tunnel. I think the Vango Delta 300 would be good for your needs - it is a good quality dome which goes up outer first, and has porch space. Check it out here
