Camping specialists
The ones attached to sites - aimed at caravaners tend to be cheaper than high street stores.
Get one with a torch built in too

I did a fair bit of research and got a Freeplay Ranger - the rest failed badly on how long they play for if you ever need to wind them up (not had to on mine - I recharge it). It's a great piece of kit (usually have it when I'm gardening etc - doesn't mind being covered in muck).

We had some building work done just before christmas and the bricky had one that could be wound up, and had a solar panel. It seemed to play for quite a while in between wind ups, obviously we couldn't tell how well the solar panel faired.
I think it was one of the tool manufacturers make.
