Bell Tents have a beautifully elegant silhouette, create an ambient circular space, they are quick to put up and pack down small.
Bell Tent UK was set up in 2006 and was at the forefront of what is now called the Glamping Revolution, introducing a quality, 100% unbleached cotton canvas at a weight that was still portable at a reasonable price. Throughout the years, we have constantly developed and improved our tents, and our main focus is not cutting corners on their quality. There are now quite a few copies out there, but no-one else sells our tents!
Our Classic Scout Patrol Tent is based on the traditional design and gives you a rectangular rather than a circular space inside. Both doors open fully giving you a cool breeze on a summer’s day. This Deluxe style tent has a fully integrated groundsheet. This tent is deceptively large and will sleep up to 12 people if you don't mind being cosy, making it perfect for large families or group activities.
BISON BUSHCRAFT
PO Box 157

Tel: 0845 838 7062
Bison Bushcraft is one of the earliest established wilderness skills training and outfitting businesses in The UK. Roger Harrington started the business in 1996 after identifying a need for good natured and enjoyable wilderness skills training, combined with a well-sourced supply of high quality and thoroughly tested equipment, specific to the needs of Bushcraft and back country adventures.
At the time he started Bison, some of the kit just couldn't be bought. Roger either ended up either making it himself (the knives) or designing various items and having them made to his own exacting specifications. Roger has always had a preference for natural materials and, wherever possible, has tried to source products ‘close to their roots’ and have them locally made. This has led to a collection of highly regarded outdoor products that are functional, ethical and reliable.
The Bison Bushcraft skills training programme is unrivalled in its unique and friendly approach to the needs of their clients. The instruction is experience based and you’ll find the staff working with and alongside clients at every step of the training. Bison Bushcraft has a customer base that includes civil, police and military clients giving them the experience and flexibility to adapt to all of your training objectives, be they for leisure, professional development or just a good weekend away. Roger has advised on film and television work, taught at schools and other organisations such as The Forestry Commission and local councils. He teaches at local scout groups and is a training advisor to The UK Scout movement.

The Blacks of Greenock brand has been synonymous with group camping since the late 19th century and known throughout generations. Youth groups have depended upon the proven design of our canvas tents over the years, generation after generation return to Blacks of Greenock. We are known for our traditional designs that last a life time. Specifically the Icelandic Scout tents, Stormhavens, Dining Shelters, Bungalow Mess tents and now we are proud to present our Brand New Bell Tent Range.
Force Ten- the premium & heritage brand of Vango, has been used on over 200,000 expeditions over many years, and is still the "tent for all seasons". The majority of the componentry is the same as it was years ago, enabling you to replace parts easily.
Both ranges continue to be designed in Scotland and are still made to the traditional designs, but now use modern production techniques to ensure longevity in the tent’s life span.

GO Outdoors is a small company that set out on a big adventure more than 40 years ago. Sheffield's 'Camping and Caravanning Centre' first opened its doors in 1969, and soon became known simply as 'CCC' to locals. CCC quickly earned a strong reputation for excellent customer service and became a landmark within Yorkshire's outdoor community.
GO Outdoors has been on this adventure for more than 40 years, and many of the team are the very same people who led CCC to success back in the 1970s and 1980s. We're still based in Sheffield and we haven't forgotten our roots, but we do have big plans for the future. We'd like you to join us in the adventure...

Khyam came to the market 20 years ago and soon became renowned for their innovations within the Outdoor Industry, particularly for tents. Initially the development of the Flexidome Quick Erect System made huge inroads into the small tent market including the start of having poles on the outside of tents which when first introduced was seen as something that simply would not sell. Looking at the style of most tents on the market today Khyam certainly had a vision.
Khyam has a passion for their products and continue to strive for the best quality using cutting edge materials wherever possible and maintaining market leadership in both the design and technology employed. Khyam also manage to monitor market forces to bring competitively priced products to a demanding market place.
The Khyam Igloo has been to the North and South poles, been used by the Marines and been the chosen tent for both the Dakar Rally and the Landrover G4 Challenge.

Our aim in whatever we do is to be ‘Best in Class’ and we have developed an enviable reputation worldwide for the reliability and technical expertise of our award winning designs. Our heritage is in mountain tents which are still a regular sight on Everest and at the poles, where they face some of the most demanding conditions. The new millennium saw development shift to lightweight tents. Terra Nova launched the first sub 1kg tent with a Guinness World Record to mark the achievement. Terra Nova lightweight tents are now an equally familiar sight at mountain marathons. Lightweight packs and sleeping bags have since been added to its portfolio enabling people to have a tent, pack and sleeping bag weighing 1kg!
