The Men o' War Tent is a branch of the Laurel and Hardy Appreciation Society - a society known as the Sons of the Desert which is named after the 1933 feature film. Our tent is based in North Essex (England) and the majority (but not all) of our meetings take place in the Manifest Theatre at Manningtree, near Colchester. Our tent was established in January 1987 and is offically listed within the
Sons of the Desert as Oasis number 70.
