Yes the British forest are ether privately owned or Owned by the forestry commission!
Ether will be extremely down on people camping in them!
There are how ever proper camp sites run by the Forestry commision for the public !

Answer
Well, that's an unusual site for Y!A but what you're looking for is a teepee, sometimes spelled tipi, or a ridge tent.

Argos do a teepee cheaper than most ridge tents that size but it's still quite a bit to fork out and it'll likely need a bit a bit of work on it before trusting it in wet weather.
It's much better if it's put up in Arabia with nice silk curtains and gold ornaments around and white fluffy carpets on the floor and some warm nights that are more comfortable for suitable night time activities like star gazing.
The sight of the heavenly bodies at night can be truly awesome and for many of them no telescope is required.
Here is some gen about the Argos 12 person teepee and the smaller 4 person one with a photo of the smaller one on the second link in my answer and comments from users of 12 person and the smaller one.

In the photo with the girl reading the tent she's in is a large ridge tent which you can get from many manufacturers all over the world.
In UK Blacks do a big one and the early Vango Force Ten tents were that shape too but now they are geodesic domes and tunnels.
Here is the classic Force Ten, as used by hundreds of Everest climbers.
You'll see Force Ten tents on Everest all through the year...if you go there.

A look in any camping shop or the on line sites will give a good choice of large ridge tents cheaper than the Vango and capable of providing a comfortable living area for three or four people.
These are up-market..as pricey as the Vango Force Ten.

For space to move and have a party one of these would fit.

The Relum Giant Pearl is probably more the size you had in mind though. It's a nice tent, well made and with good headroom.

Have fun.
