About the Best Value Family Tent award
Good value in a tent is not just about the lowest price. Forget about that £50 supermarket tent – the best-value tents are those that give you the most for your money.

Effectively you’re getting two pieces of kit for the price of one. And, at under £290, that price is an absolute bargain.
