With summer fast approaching, festival season is just around the corner. From the legendary fields of Glastonbury to the heavy-hitting line-ups at Download, lucky ticket holders around the UK are gearing up for weekends of good vibes, live music, and (hopefully) sunshine-filled afternoons with a drink in hand.
But whether you're moshing to metal or soaking up indie anthems, one thing is sure - a solid camping setup is key to surviving multi-day events. Most will need a reliable tent to call home for the weekend and while quality gear can get expensive, outdoor brand Tiso has dropped a brilliant deal that makes upgrading a little easier.
The Phoxx II v2 2-Person Tent is now £84 from £230 - a massive £146 saving. Designed with pre-angled poles for extra internal space, this sturdy tent comfortably fits two people and even features a porch area - ideal for keeping muddy boots separate from your sleeping zone.

Festive-friendly extras include internal storage pockets for easy access to essentials, lantern hanging points, and a fully waterproof groundsheet and flysheet built to withstand classic British downpours. Better still, it only takes around seven minutes to pitch, so you can enjoy music more than fumbling with tent poles.
However, if you need something larger for a big group, there are plenty of options. Mountain Warehouse's 6-person design, currently £159.99 from £259.99, features a dome style with ample ventilation and flysheet doors.

This tent has a w aterproof polyester flysheet to withstand heavy rain, l antern hanging points and i nternal storage pockets.
Otherwise, Decathlon has this inflatable option for eight people. At £999.99, it's expensive, but it's super easy to set up and has a spacious living area and three bedrooms.
For festival goers and campers starting completely from scratch, Tiso also has a wealth of camping accessories to browse, including sleeping bags and airbeds. This lightweight down-filled sleeping bag, reduced to £186 from £260, is great for keeping cosy (and warm) at night.
Shoppers may also want to consider picking up a camping chair. This nifty folding seat with a drinks holder is only £10 in the sale.
Back to the Phoxx II v2 2-Person Tent, one shopper noted that the tent 'hasn't let them down yet' and another said it 'fit two people snugly.' Someone said, "Tried it last night for the first time. Easy to erect. Lightweight and compact and very well made."
However, one person noted: "The only issue is that the small pole is VERY tight to get into place and could break if forced too much."
If you prefer to camp solo, Tiso has also reduced the Phoxx I v2 1-Person Tent to £70 from £165. It has many of the same features - water protection, smart storage and quick pitching - but it has a compact tunnel structure, meaning you'll need to crawl inside.

One shopper said: "I bought this for my daughter as we're planning a bikepacking trip. Space is tight, but it feels robust, and it's light and compact enough to fit in a handlebar bag."

Not everyone was impressed, though. This review reads: "Tiny! I can't sit inside (I'm just 5'3) which makes it impractical for changing clothes and do tick checks. It's more of a shelter/bivvy rather than a tent. It's very discreet in the wild, though.
But someone else said: "In its first use, this little tent stood up to everything thrown at it, including a month's worth of rain in 24 hours."

BBC period drama fans rave about fantastically cast 'unrecognisable' The Crown star
The BBC adaption of Charles Dickens' novel may have been released over a decade ago, but it is still being enjoyed today by fans who are rediscovering the series Viewers are rekindling their love for a 2008 costume drama that has brilliantly encapsulated a classic Dickensian narrative, led by a "fantastic cast", which includes an actress whose transformation is spellbinding. 'Little Dorrit', a BBC miniseries, dives into Charles Dickens's lesser-celebrated eponymous novel set in the 1850s. The plot tracks the peculiar existence of Amy Dorrit who, for twenty-one years, lived within the confines of a debtors' prison with her father. The tale takes a turn when Amy encounters Arthur Clennam, who, in pursuit of his family's elusive legacy, discovers it to be mysteriously connected to the Dorrit family. In seeking answers, Clennam is introduced to diverse individuals through Amy's gentle spirit, from the extraordinarily wealthy to those barely scraping by. Set amidst the class disparities of Victorian England, Dickens's signature commentary on social inequities underpins the series. However, viewers have found 'Little Dorrit' to have an engaging charm despite the sombre undertones. Praise for the show also appears on Rotten Tomatoes, stating: "This is a great BBC mini-series; though most of their mini-series are really good. The story has so many characters and smaller plots going on that one really must pay attention to everything. The casting was also brilliant.", reports Surrey Live. "Matthew Macfadyen and Claire Foy gave their characters such life and had so many subtleties. Andy Serkis, who played Rigaud, was also amazing; you had your eyes on him in every scene he was in." While another viewer added: "I absolutely loved this movie. I think it may have even surpassed the BBC's marvellous representation of Pride and my opinion." British actress Claire Foy takes on the role of Amy Dorrit in the series, a stark contrast to her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth in The Crown, making her almost unrecognisable. This early part was crucial for Foy, marking her emergence well before she reached the pinnacle of fame with roles in Season of the Witch, The Girl in the Spider's Web, and Unsane. She is joined by a stellar lineup of British talent, including Matthew Macfadyen as Arthur Clennam and Andy Serkis, better known for his work in Lord of The Rings, as Rigaud. Screen legends Tom Courtenay and Sue Johnston are also amongst the cast enriching the BBC adaptation. One critique says: "This mini-series is almost perfect. Great costumes and sets. Great camera work. Fantastic acting all around. Everyone inhabits their characters completely. A good amount of humour too amongst the Dickensian bleakness. However, I don't think all the loose ends were tied up very well.." Another viewer wrote: "I don't know how this compares to the book, but this series is engaging and has a touch of mystery to it that keeps you eagerly watching to see how all the varied parties are interconnected in the end. Wonderful acting as well. A worthy period drama." The overlooked gem of a period drama, Little Dorrit, can be streamed on BBC iPlayer.

Prince Harry's 'nonsense' plan for kids amid 'nail in coffin' decision
Royal expert Jennie Bond has questioned Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's reported plan they've hatched for the future for their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may no longer be working royals or carry out duties for the King. But the couple reportedly don't want to rule out their children opting to support the monarchy, despite their bombshell move to quit their royal roles. Insiders close to the Sussexes have said they want Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to retain their titles and HRH styles so they can choose to become working royals if they so wish when they are adults. It came after the source spoke out and claimed the Sussexes feared passports for their children were being held up due to the use of their royal titles. The couple are said to have been left exasperated as they waited months for British passports to arrive and reportedly believed it was due to the fact they included their children's royal titles on the application. But former BBC royal expert Jennie Bond has questioned why Harry and Meghan appear so keen to cling onto titles for their children - even though they have previously railed against the institution of monarchy. She told the Mirror: "I really don't understand why, having extricated themselves from a life they did not enjoy and in which Harry has publicly spoken of 'feeling trapped', they want to give their children the option of re-joining. It makes no sense. "Who knows what's going to happen in the future? But it's very hard to see how two children who are clearly now more American than British would want to change their whole way of life and become working members of the royal family." Archie and Lilibet got prince and princess titles when their grandfather King Charles became monarch in 2022. The first time their titles were formally announced was after Lilibet's christening in March 2023. Due to the reported hold-up in their British passports, it is said that Harry started to explore the possibility of changing his family surname to Spencer in a nod to his late mother, Princess Diana. And Jennie added: "I think Harry has always been more Spencer than Windsor, so if he was ever going to change his name, it would be to Spencer. "But this would be a final nail in the coffin of his relationship with his father and his brother. It would amount to a public declaration that he no longer saw himself as part of the royal family." There has been continued controversy over the Sussexes' HRH titles since the pair quit their royal roles five years ago. As part of their Megxit negotiations with the Palace, Meghan and the Duke of Sussex agreed to stop using 'Her Royal Highness' and 'His Royal Highness' at the end of March 2020. They still retain the styles, with Harry having had his since birth, but they are essentially held in abeyance. However, earlier this year, it emerged Meghan had used her HRH style on a gift basket sent to make-up entrepreneur Jamie Kern Lima last year, with a monogrammed card reading: 'With Compliments of HRH The Duchess of Sussex'. Kern Lima showed an image of the present in footage of her podcast interview with Meghan. It contained a jar of Meghan's jam which she has started selling as part of her As Ever lifestyle business brand. A source described the basket as a 'personal gift'. The duchess's representatives denied that the couple used them, but a source later said that the Sussexes did not use HRH publicly but retained the style, and did not use it for commercial purposes.

Royal Mint most valuable 50p coins as 10 rarest 50p revealed
We are all being urged to check our change for these valuable coins which, in some cases, are being sold for more than 400 times their face value on online auction sites such as eBay. The famous Kew Gardens 50p was recently knocked off the top spot of rarest 50p coins in the UK when the Royal Mint released the Atlantic Salmon coin. This coin was released with a mintage of just 200,000, the Royal Mint said, narrowly beating the Kew Gardens 50p which had a mintage of 210,000. Other rare designs include Olympic-themed 50ps minted in 2011. Since moving to pounds and pence in 1971, more than 70 variations of the 50p coin have been minted, including several rare designs which could be worth a lot more than 50p. Rarest 50p coins in circulation the UK? The Royal Mint recently named the Atlantic Salmon 50p as the coin as the rarest currently in circulation in the UK, with just 200,000 copies minted. The coin knocked the 'highly collectable' 2009 Kew Gardens 50p off the top spot for the first time in 15 years, the official maker of British coins said. The Kew Gardens 50p sells for £156.25 on average, but one seller received over £700 for one when they sold it on eBay. The other rarest coins stem predominantly from the 2011 Olympics, with the wrestling, football and judo coins among the most valuable. Only 1.1million of each of these coins were produced. Flopsy bunny and Peter Rabbit designs which were produced in 2018 are also highly valuable. Recommend Reading These coins - 1.4 million of which were minted - depict the characters from Beatrix Potter's novels and celebrate the life of the English writer and these sell for around £5. In 2019, 500 million coins were produced, with three new 50p designs. These included one of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, Paddington Bear at St Paul's Cathedral and the Tower of London. What makes a coin valuable? The 50 pence piece has become the most valued and collected coin in the UK, with many collectable designs appearing on its heptagonal canvas. Its 27.5mm diameter makes it the largest of any British coin, and allows space for decorative pictures. It has often been used to celebrate big events over the past 50 years of British history. The rarest coins tend to be of the greatest value, with the mintage (number of coins with each design made) being the fundamental attraction for collectors. Along with the design, other aspects of the coin which increase value are the condition of the coin and whether it has an error in its design. The way in which it is sold can also determine the coin's value - while some coin collectors will bid vast amounts of money on eBay or at auction, others opt for more robust valuations by selling via a coin dealer. Top 10 most valuable 50p coins, according to Royal Mint Here is a list of the top 10 most valuable coins, when they were made and how many were minted:
