I am looking for recommendations for a smaller tent for weekends away. We are 2 adults and 2 youngish children and are on a budget of hopefully £50 - 90 ish. I am happy to buy secondhand from Ebay etc if I get better value for money.
We would like to be able to stand up in the tent especially the living area. Do not mind 2 bedrooms or 1 large but must have a decent size living area.
Must be easy to put up and take down - prefer no more then 30 min's with 2 of us.
Any recommendations or help appreciated.

For that budget you may have to buy second hand or look for bargains on ebay such as Nearly New Tents. I bought my icarus 600 last year on there from nearly new tents for £100. It is brandnew . It is a great tent, easy to put up and plenty of room for 4. When the budget allows you can add to it by accessorising with carpet and the canopy.
You could also have a look at Go outdoors at some of the High gear tents which are often on special offer.
I am happy to buy secondhand for a better quality tent. We do not want to spend loads on it as we already have a bigger tent for 7-14 nights camping but fancy a smaller one for weekends away.
Will have a look at Go Outdoors. Thank you

When we are looking for a new tent, we visit a big outdoor showroom noteing down what we like then I go searching ebay/local newspapers etc. Its never taken longer than 4 weeks to find what we wanted.
Hope you find what you're looking for

I tend to agree with "warbis" for that money you should be able to get a decent used Icarus from "nearly new tents" or "tent spares man" on Ebay and would be better than a new non branded tent

Everything has been said before, but since nobody ever listens we have to keep going back and saying it all over again and again and again
