I want a really good tent that i can take on a beach or infact anywhere, it doesn't need any pegs or anything, you just throw it down and it opens up, i hope that makes sense.
Does anyone know what they call that sort of tent and where i might get one, please

All mayor camping shops, trekking shops and outdoor adventure shops have them now or can order them for you.
If you have a shop like that near, go and talk with the staff.
My brother bought one for his little girl, would sleep two adults but is a great play-tent too.
Refolding was a bit of a puzzle the fist time so if you buy in a shop have them do it with you at least once.
You will still get pegs to make it stay in place but they are not needed for setting it up.
I am doing a search for a link now, if I find one I come back and add it.

makes sense, but tents don't really work like that, u will have 2 look hand 4 one that doesn't require pegs, the only one i have ever seen was a childs put up tent from the ELC

Any decent outdoors store will have " pop up" tents in stock. As the name suggests, take it out of the bag, throw it down and hey presto.... instant tent. ! Albeit, it does have four guy ropes but I generally rely on the weight of my " kerry oot" to keep it anchored. !

I wish I had one. I would use it in the living room for sleepovers! But, I haven't heard of one of those. Sorry.

try an army surplus, what will hold it down if you are not in it, and a strong wind comes along?

I know what you mean, I've seen them in Argos and Halfords.
