Hi everyone, I am working on a new tv programme in Edinburgh and I'm trying to source a retro tent to use as a prop in the programme. The tent is to be from the 1970's or early 80's and should be a family sized tent or it could be smaller. The designer had an A frame/triangular shaped tent in mind. Would anyone have a tent from this period that I could purchase or hire for filming for two weeks from the end of September? Or can anyone advise as to where I might find one of these tents? The tent is to be put up in the back garden of a family home in Edinburgh.
I look forward to your reply/help. Many thanks, Janice Email: macraejanice at mac.com

What are you going to do with it ? Just as a prop showing the outside or are you going to show people sitting inside it too, or even actually camping in it? I live just outside Edinburgh and could ask around if I had a better idea of what you wanted.
Hi. Look for a Lichfield Challenger 5, it is a ridge tent with a retro look - I have one but you aren't getting it, it's precious to me. It's my profile pic. They do come up quite often for quite little money, I hear of people buying them for a fiver etc.
The Lichfield Palladin is the cotton version of it.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
