A VHS-C to VHS adapter.
As long as you're talking about a VHS-C tape.
There are also 8mm cassetes, as well as Hi8. They are both the same size, but VHS-C is very different, much thicker.
VHS-C, 8mm and Hi8 are all clearly marked so you shouldn't have any trouble telling them apart. If in doubt, take the tape with you when buying.
You can only get adapters for VHS-C because there were some full sized 8mm / Hi8 VCR's made for home use.
Try Jessops, camera shops, Ebay.
Might be worth trying Dixons, Curries, Comet, Woolies.

VHS c only, not 8mm (8mm will not fit) Argos used to stock cassette adaptor or may be e-bay may stock them
To recap
small cassette from camera is VHS-c(invented by JVC)
8mm cassette will not fit and can only run from camera (Sony invention)
Full size looking cassette to take only VHS-c.

Superwale and similar answers are correct. The best one was the JVC motorised one which I believe is now out of production, best to try the other places suggested.
**ONLY ever made for VHS-C cassettes** not Hi8 or DV
