Nocturne is a freestanding 4-person, 3-season family tent built for real-life adventure. With two roomy sleeping pods and a spacious central living area, it’s your basecamp for weekend escapes, festival fields, and long summer holidays — all in a compact package that fits in the boot.

Big campouts. Small car? No problem.

• Vis-à-vis layout with two private bedrooms and standing-height central porch

• Freestanding, semi-geodesic structure that stands firm in bad weather

• Quick-pitch outer-first design for easy setup — even in the dark

• Packs down small enough to work with smaller vehicles

Made for modern family camping
Nocturne gives you two generous sleeping spaces at either end — perfect for kids and adults, mates, or just you and your dog with room to sprawl. Each pod has a bathtub groundsheet for wet-weather protection and can be pitched independently.

In between, the standing-height porch gives space to gather, cook, stash kit, or ride out the rain. Shorter pole sleeves and smooth aluminium connections make it easy to pitch fast (even with impatient small people in tow), and three doors let you adapt your setup to the wind and weather.

Trusted by campers, loved by families
"Easy to pitch, stood up brilliantly to a week in Scotland. Spacious for two and a Labrador." – Paul R
"The first big tent I’ve owned — and I was so impressed. Quick to put up, simple and stable." – Paddler Pete
"Better than an American tent at twice the price. Simple, smart, and rock solid." – Craig P

Lighter. Smarter. Built to last.
With strong alloy poles, TPU seam taping for long-term waterproofing, and tough ripstop polyester throughout, Nocturne is made to take a battering from years of wet weekends and campsite chaos. You’ll find all the thoughtful touches too — like ceiling windows for light, stash pockets for essentials, and a hanging hook for head torches and lanterns.

Lower impact, by design
The flysheet is made from low-stretch polyester with a durable PU coating. We’ve used hydrolysis-resistant TPU seam tape for longer life — and made sure it’s completely free from PFCs. The optional footprint gives extra protection and prolongs your tent’s lifespan.

Designer's Notes

Here's what Rowan, our Equipment Product Manager wrote while designing this tent: "After experiencing our fair share of setting up base camp late on a Friday evening we wanted Nocturne to be as easy and quick to pitch as possible - even in the dark. The shorter pole sleeves and aluminium poles with flush connection points means no snagging during set up and less weight to support as you raise the tent.

The freestanding structure means once it's up you can peg out the guy lines without wrestling with the tent as you do it; and pitching outer-first gets you and your kit out of the elements sooner."
