Bell tents, ridge tents and square tents are all very well and good for camping but when it comes to sturdy frame or mess tents that can be used for catering or holding large amounts of people, then The Cotton Tent Company has the largest range on the market today.

From wide windowed party tents through to huge base camp tents that are designed to be left up for months on end, we have them all, including some that can even be expanded. Our range of mess tents is second to none and the choice of scout groups all across Europe.

Long lasting, transportable by car - the largest may require a roof rack for the poles - and still easy to erect; these are great frame and mess tents at great prices.

If you have any questions the grab the phone and give us a call or send us an email and we'll help you get the right frame or mess tent to suit your needs for years to come.

One of the constant favourites of the Frame tent range and ideally suited as a kitchen or group tent - 450 x 450cm

£960.00

A bigger version of the Alabama frame tent so you can fit in more kit, cooks or people who will lounge around getting in the way and giving advice - 490 x 450 cm

£1,020.00

The biggest of the Alabama range and quite possibly the best kitchen tent available on the market today - 600 x 450 cm

£1,190.00

A simple sturdy, easy to put up frame tent - that's the Alaska in a nutshell. Size 1 is 540 x 450 cm

£1,275.00

Identical to the Alaska size 1 PVC roof except it has a WR roof from Tencate.

£1,380.00

The bigger version of the Alaska tent with a PVC roof - 720 x 450 cm

£1,530.00

The big Alaska with a Tencate WR roof - 720 x 450 cm

£1,700.00

The Amazonas is a new style of frame tent making its debut in our range. A central frame supporting sides that can be open or have an additional inner tent for sleeping. Plus it's big - 630 x 450cm

£950.00

The Arkansas size 1 gives you a nice 16 square metres of floor space in solid frame tent that can stay up for extended periods of time - 400 x 420 cm

£1,630.00

The Arkansas size 2 is 2m longer than the size 1 - 6m as opposed to 4m - giving you even more solidly built tent space - 25 square metres in total.

£2,180.00

The Arkansas size 3 is the same length as the size 2, but both wider and taller - yep, it ate some of the pies (probably apple but we should point out that other pie fillings, both sweet and savoury, are available) but it looks pretty good for that and still performs brilliantly..

£2,360.00

The Arkansas size 4 is where it gains the ability to have an additional partition to split the tent up into different areas - and it's longer and wider again - a massive 600 x 580 cm giving almost 35 square metres of floor space!

£2,715.00

From size 4 to size 5 is quite a jump - an extra 2m in length making the tent an enormous 800 x 580 cm - that's over 46 square metres of solid, stand up to anything tent! (Please note that when we say anything we don't mean absolutely anything. For example, a herd of rampaging wildebeast will probably wreck the tent and eat all your biscuits. Unless they're rich tea.)

£3,230.00

The daddy of the daddies. The Arkansas size 6 is an enormous 1000 x 580 cm and sits solidly on the landscape with a sense of permanence oozing from every side. I'm here, I'm staying, bring it on!

The Colorado plus is an amazing development for a base tent. Not only is it a great, heavy duty frame tent but it can be expanded from its starting size of 400 x 590 cm by adding additional 2m segments. Unheard of in a tent designed for months of use!
