I noticed them the other day too, and my mrs took great delight in telling me that they have been there for years, but I have never noticed them. I recall seeing them in the past, but suspect they are erected in the warmer months. Perhaps there is a medievil settlemet (which time forgot). If it is a jousting tournament, I hope they don't use the old nags in the field in front. Don't the the old girls could handle it

I noticed them on the way to Van Hages on Sunday. On the way back I took a closer look, and I thought I saw a castle at the far end as well! I don't know why they are there though :-(

These tents have been there in the past as well, although there did seem to be a few more than normal at the weekend. Someone did tell me what they were for about a year ago, but at the moment can't remember! when i do, i shall let you know! [;)][:)]

I was told on Sunday that they are made by a company at thrifts house, who make equipment for stage sets. A quick google has been unable to verify this. I might just pop in and ask[:D]

That place is a holding pen for the BBC props department

There is a company down there who make stage equipment. When I was younger I always thought how cool it would be to have a mini fort in the garden, but it's only a stage prop!

Hired some gear from there for a production I was in. The chap down there is a nice bloke and has stacks of costumes, swords and other stuff. You could spend hours down there.

Who would want to spend hours in a draughty tent with other stuff?

Saw an article somewhere that says these are for hiring out for films - so if you want them to look authentic they have to stay out and be weathered. That would explain why sometimes you see them and sometimes you don't. Shall have to keep a lookout in films in future!
