Need a tent... on the cheap!!

[Ginger Viking]

Evening all

Anyone know where i can lay my hands on a viking/saxon tent? Cheap as chips with preference

You'll be lucky, Matt. They don't tend to come up on the secondhand market very often, and when they do they pretty much hold their value from new -for example, we got ours secondhand, it was 5 years old (I believe) and we only paid about £50 less than brand new for it.

There are a number of sellers that do a standardish size Saxon geteld tent (you don't want a Viking A frame one really) for around the £300-400 mark. I can give you the contact for Rachel Puckey- she is running at about a 6-8 week turnaround at the moment. Vic James I believe can take a while longer but is also well respected in reenactment circles, or ask Darth Fistus for his German contact. You'd have to get your own poles, and not much (is any) cheaper than the others with the exchange rate, but you'd have one within a couple of weeks.
