Fact of life-unless you want some bespoke canvas tent, and an overdraft , then tents are manufactured overseas, mainly Asia . The next best is to support a firm that is based here, though you have to tread carefully about which company holds which other company . As far as I know Vango fits the bill the best-Khyam has been sold on to I believe a firm with offices in Hong Kong . Gelert is the only other that comes this close .
Do the British-based companies have their own 'manufacturing operations overseas', or do they just sub-contract everything to companies in China or wherever (in much the same way that companies like Nike operate).
Personally I'd happily pay more for a tent - or anything else - to have some certainty that it isn't being made by children working 16-hour shifts.
Don't forget to leave a review of all tents you've used, for a chance to win fantastic prizes
