Default Preparing for Winter in UK

Hello! I recently bought a second hand 16ft yurt, which is up in my garden in North London, UK. I plan to teach yoga in it, and want to get it ready for the colder seasons. It is on a raised deck and has a good groundsheet under it. Here are my questions:

- Currently the canvas leaks a bit; I am going to reproof it this week but aside from painting the reproofer on, are there any other recommendations for making it water tight?

-

Insulation

: I have read about felt and foil options. What do people recommend? I am working on a tight budget as it is a little business, so whatever option I go for needs to be on the cheaper side of perfect. Are there other options? I have read about wicking - is this a problem considering I live in a damp / wet country?!

- Winter cover - do I need to get something to go over my canvas for winter? if so, what sort of material? I understand that ensuring air flow is very important to avoid damp, so am cncerned about too many layers.

If anyone has any advice for getting through UK winter (wet and cold mainly!) I would hugely appreciate it. It will be used daily so will stay ventilated. Thank you so much in advance!
