Affordable Tent Rental For Festivals, Camping And Everything In Between

Nottingham has always had a rebellious streak. Long before it was a UNESCO City of Literature, it was a city built on folklore, defiance and doing things its own way. That spirit hasn’t gone anywhere. From the independent scene in Hockley to the legendary nights at Rock City, from the Robin Hood Festival to two universities keeping the city buzzing with over 60,000 students, Nottingham has a creative, music-loving energy that makes festival season feel less like an event and more like an extension of the city itself. Splendour Festival is literally in the city’s own Wollaton Park, and the wider Midlands and northern festival circuits are all within easy reach. But with a student population this size comes a reality check: budgets are tight, shared houses are cramped, and spending £50-£150 on camping gear that’ll sit under your bed until the next academic year just doesn’t add up. You’d rather spend that money on the ticket, the travel and the weekend itself.

Earthrise Camping has the answer.

Book online, and we’ll deliver your tent rental across Nottingham and the East Midlands at least 24 hours before your hire date. Enjoy your trip, send it back, even if it’s wet and muddy, and we handle the rest. We’re the only tent hire in the UK that doesn’t charge cleaning fees for muddy returns, because let’s face it, this is British camping. Every tent we hire out has been rescued and refurbished, giving unwanted tents a second life rather than letting them rot in landfill. It’s a system that keeps quality high, prices low and waste out of the picture. Starting from just £7.50 per night plus a £20 refundable deposit and P&P. Check out our tent hire now.

Festivals Near Nottingham

Nottingham’s East Midlands location puts you in a strong position for festival season, but there’s a bigger reason why tent hire fits this city so well. Nottingham’s Green Growth Plan is all about integrating environmental goals with economic growth and building a sustainable local economy that doesn’t sacrifice the planet for progress. That same thinking applies to how we camp. Buying cheap tents that get used once and dumped in landfill is the opposite of sustainable growth, it’s waste dressed up as convenience. Hiring a tent that’s been rescued, refurbished and kept in circulation? That’s the kind of circular thinking Nottingham’s plan is built on.

As for where to go, you couldn’t be better placed. Splendour is literally in the city at Wollaton Park, Download is barely an hour away at Donington, Y Not Festival is a short hop into the Derbyshire Peaks, and Shambala is within easy reach in Northamptonshire. Head further afield and you’ve got Leeds Festival to the north and Glastonbury to the south-west.

Why Choose Earthrise Camping in Nottingham?

Affordable Camping

Starting at just £7.50 per night with a £20 refundable deposit plus P&P, hiring a tent is more affordable than buying, especially if you only attend one or two festivals a year. Whether you’re a Nottingham local heading to Y Not Festival or a Nottingham Uni student that is planning your summer festival, we make camping simple.

No need for an upfront cost of £75-£150 for a tent that you’ll store for 340+ days per year or buying a cheap £50 one that is about as robust as sleeping in a bin-bag. And unlike buying, you’re not left struggling to sell a used tent for a fraction of what you paid when you’re done with it. Meaning you’ll have more space for storage and less kit needlessly knocking around.

Delivery & Collection Sorted By Us

We bring the start of adventure to your doorstep and then take the muddy bits away once you’re done! We will deliver your tent the day before your hire starts and arrange collection the day after your hire end date. Just make sure to arrange a lazy day on the sofa, as our couriers will arrrive between 7am and 8pm on those days.

Perfect if all you want to do is camp, as we handle the logistics across the UK.

Circular & Sustainable

We’re committed to reducing festival waste. Every tent we hire out prevents a tent being abandoned at a festival or ending up in landfill after one use.

Our tents are used multiple times, properly maintained and kept in circulation. We even save unwanted tents and put them into circulation. Better for your wallet and the planet.

No Hidden Clauses

Traditional tent hire companies often demand deposits of £100+ and have hidden cleaning and replacement charges.

We’re not like them! We know you just want to have a good time without worrying if that speck of dirt will cost you 30 quid of your deposit. So we handle the cleaning and you’ll only lose your deposit if the tent is returned in an unhygienic state, completely wrecked or not returned at all!

We’re laid back about minor damage and dirt, so you can enjoy yourself more.
