I would like to go and view some errected tents (4-6 berth), but being new to this business I'm not sure where to go!
Does anyone know of any good shops near Bury St Edmunds/Ipswich/Cambridge?
Thanks in advance.

Try these:-
Geoff Turner, Stowmarket
Norwich Caravan and Camping, Norwich (Bigger display of tents)
Whilst Geoff Turner are not the cheapest they are extremely helpful and know what they are talking about.
I have dealt with both many times and would fully recommend
There is also another company who's name escapes me based in Witham on the Stanstead road just as you leave the A12. I think it is based in the one and only garden centre on that road.

There is a quite a good camping shop at Melbourn, about 9 miles south of Cambridge.
It's Cross Camping and Leisure at Phillimore Garden Centre which is just outside the village itself They have quite a good selection of tents erected at the back of their shop.

Try Camperite Leisure at Marks Tey - approx 17 miles down the A12 from Ipswich. They have a very good selection of tents on display including Outwell, Sunncamp and Vango. They also have a well stocked accessory shop and the owner knows his onions! Visit www.camperite.co.uk
Yes, there is also Geoff Turner at Stowmarket, but the selection is very limited, not many on display and they are indoors!

Thanks for all your advice.
I'm particularly interested in looking at a few Vango tents (Aurora 600, Colorado 600), so I'm going to give Camperite Leisure a bell and see what they've got on display.
Much to my wife's frustration, this website has me hooked!!!!!!!!
Cheers
