10 Best Pop Up Play Tents UK 2024 | Argos Home, Peppa Pig and More

Knowing how much fun kids have when there are tunnels at play, it was an easy decision to put this double tunnel extravaganza at the number one spot! Featuring two tunnels and two separate tents, with access points galore, you just know your kids will be thanking their lucky stars when this tent pops up on the scene. 

The beauty is in the adaptability of this design. If it's a bit big for your home when fully assembled, you can simply leave a tunnel or tent off, or put them side by side. A fun and colourful pop-up that's poised to please, and thankfully doesn't cost the earth. 

This elegantly styled teepee is a safe choice for kids as it's made from 100% natural, non-toxic, unpainted cotton canvas. It's held up using sturdy pine wood poles that are completely free from chemical odours and harmful substances.

It's hugely popular on Amazon, and comes very highly rated by plenty of happy parents whose children just can't get enough of their newfound favourite hide-out. It's also very well priced and can be easily customised to your child's taste, which is another good reason why you shouldn't wait around for it to sell out! 

Decathlon's signature camping brand Quecha, prides itself on their 2-second technology that allows you to pop this tent up in one impressive motion that takes less than a minute. Just be mindful of where the kids are when you release the straps!

This is a great tent to bring to the beach, or even just erect in the garden, to give your kids their own water-resistant king or queendom. A popular pop-up tent that can house two kids comfortably for hours of fun, whilst remaining protected from the sun. 

Chad Valley offer a huge range of pop-up play tents, but we think this starry and colourful tent is their best! A simple yet highly sought after tunnel tent, it's recommended for children from two years to explore and learn how to play. 

One of the most engaging designs, once connected together, your kids can enter the playhouse through one of the four wide-open doors. They will then be presented with a tunnel which leads to a cylindrical structure that functions as a proper hide-out for when they hear the adults coming.

We can't stop looking at all the different bugs going about their lives on this teepee's design, and we're sure your kids will be fascinated too! This teepee features a wide entrance that can be tied shut when there are plans being hatched, and quickly loosened off when those plans become action. 

A good-sized gap has been left between the end of the teepee and the floor to promote airflow, as well as two mesh windows for your kids to spy out of. It's a tremendous teepee for curious kids who revel in the idea of camping out in the lounge when the weather doesn't warrant it outside. 

This is a great pop-up for if you're looking to take your children to the beach, the park, or anywhere else that involves being at the mercy of the weather. It can be securely fastened to the ground with ten steel stakes and four guy lines, to ensure a safe place for your kids to rest and play. 

The front door can be staked to the ground for a clean surface to play on, or secured shut when the winds are howling. The mesh window at the rear will also aid airflow, helping your child stay cool, calm and hopefully happy. 

This night sky play tent will be a great place of respite for your children to escape their hectic schedules and busy lives. Once they enter their magical darkened world, they will be free of the pre-school stresses and politics, and their imaginations will be left to run wild!

The polyester structure is fairly breathable thanks to the mesh windows and large entrance. However, due to its dark navy colour, it would be foolish to pop up outside in the sunshine as it'll conduct excess heat on summer days, making it another one recommended for indoor use only. 

For all the little princesses out there who need their own castle to look down on their stinky brothers from, this fairy tale inspired play tent is the one! The light and breezy mesh curtains add a tonne of royalty-inspired character to the tent, and will give you peace of mind on warmer days.  

The only thing to watch out for is the little sparkling glittery plastic pieces stuck to the curtains. These may intrigue younger children so much, that picking them off and popping them in their mouth is the only way. 

This is the ideal play tent for kids who are in awe every time a fire engine vrooms past. It's a simple and relatively small pop-up tent at just over 1 meter in length, and is recommended for kids over the age of one. 

This tent is a solid option for toddlers and young children, but has the potential to feel a bit claustrophobic (or boring) for the older ones. As it's slightly lacking in entry and exit points, we recommend only using it indoors, or outside on cooler days to maintain proper ventilation. 

There's no denying the dominance of Peppa Pig. She's swept almost every kid off of their feet over the last 15 years or so, and is still just as popular as when her unassumingly innocent ways graced our screens for the first time. This makes any Peppa Pig play tent a surefire hit with the kiddies! 

It's recommended for kids from 2 - 8 years, although judging by the design, it's likely your children will grow out of it well before they turn 8. However, it's a good pop-up tent for toddlers when the weather is too wet to go to the park.
