As some of you may have read, we are also the UK Representatives for TentWord Unlimited; the commercial side of Karsten Tenten who manufacture work and emergency tents and shelters that you may have seen. Typically the pop up tents used by telecommunication companies and the police forensic divisions to disaster relief inflatable tents as depicted below.  We love the fact that our Karsten leisure tents are increasing in popularity, and not knowing the industries our customer work in would just like to let everyone know about our other website:  Premier Work Tents Photo taken from a multi agency demonstration ahead of this years Armed Forces Day All enquired, please email: sales@premierworktents.co.uk or call 01763 273662

We now have for display the Karsten 240 Inflatable Carp Tent but in a rental material. This is a specialist WM-1 Tencate material designed for seasonal pitching and aimed at lake owners who offer a swim with a bivvy package.  Obviously this is an investment on behalf of the lakes, but with the weather experienced by many in France, anglers won't be going home due to the bivvy blowing away and gear being lost!  It was also great to see Alan Taylor at the latest display who came to cast his views over the new bivvy, as a Karsten owner himself (Cotton 240) he remarked at just how robust they are and commented that he would be recommending them.

Our April Display proved to be the busiest yet. Not only are campers seeing the Karsten Tents on campsites and then coming to the show, but the weaker Euro means that the tents are at a great price. Let hope it holds until the Autumn Discount! The Cabanon's are edging their way back into popularity with the Bora Bora being the best seller....unfortunately we are limited with the stock at the moment so if you are looking - now is the time to buy. We were treated to a fantastic sunset over the display and in particular the Awaya and Biscaya.

Our February display weekend saw the weather test the Karsten's. From driving rain to gale force gusts of wind, the tents stood firm....as you would expect. Anyhow, we made a short video...

Although Valentines Day has passed, you still have the rest of the year to fall in love with a Karsten! Our first display is at the end of February with larger tent displays in April & June.

Last summer, I took my Cub pack to the Imperial War Museum Duxford ...and had such a fantastic time that I decided to get a family ticket to become a 'Friend of Duxford'. If you visit 4 times a year - you benefit with this rather than pay the day rates! The best bit of it is that not only is it reasonably local, but also on the main route back that we have to take from Norfolk and Suffolk when we go camping. This is so ideal as we can break up the journey back with just a quick visit - the childrens park is great just on it's own......but there is so much more to see.  We've just spent the morning there as had afternoon commitments, stayed mainly in Airspace, the interactive hangar, with lots of planes to see and walk on-board. They also had children's activities sponsored by Air-fix . How cool was that for them to go make and paint a plane! We took a pack lunch as the weather was kind and was treated to a Spitfire Flypast - Icing on the cake! Ca
