Dunk,

That is one """"" of a size.
In reality if you could find something that size I think you would have mega problems sticking it down in one go. Or am I being stupid?

Here in good old Italia the widest sheet I have bought is 20ish" but it was several metres long. It is sold as insulating material and cost about £20.

If you were nearer to Peterborough for the meet up I would bring you a roll.

I think you may need just a bit bigger than what is readily available.
I actually bought some cork today and it was £11.99 for a 24"x48" roll. Not too bad but not great either I think. That was in Hobbycraft by the way.

Tom.
