Additional information
This tent is from the 1980s I believe. It was used regularly during the 1990s (always smoke free) and has since been stored dry in a smoke free home.
I would be very happy to know this spacious sturdy tent which is in excellent condition, would be used again. it would make a good central tent for large group/family gatherings or for use as a pre-pitched tent on a camp or festival site. Also could be used as a 'sales' tent for a charity or small business at an open air site.
The tent belonged to and was used by my parents for family holidays. They were supporters of homeless people and any money you could offer for their tent would be immediately donated and shared between the two charitable organisations of "Shelter" and "Medecins Sans Frontieres/Doctors Without Borders". That would please me very much and be in keeping with what my parents stood for.
