Affordable Tent Rental For Festivals, Camping And Everything In Between
Derby is a city that knows how to build things properly. As a birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, its manufacturing DNA runs deep, from the Silk Mill that now houses the Museum of Making, to a modern-day aerospace and automotive industry that still leads globally. This is a city where craftsmanship, durability and getting more life out of quality materials isn’t just heritage, it’s in the culture. The Cathedral Quarter adds a different kind of energy, with its mix of independent pubs, restaurants and historical sites giving the city centre a character that chain-heavy towns can only envy.
It is also a city that’s putting its money where its mouth is on sustainability. With a net-zero target of 2035 and a Green Rewards programme encouraging residents to recycle, travel actively and think differently about waste, this direction is clear. So buying cheap tents, using them once and then lobbing them in the bin? That’s not really the Derby way, is it? And with Download, Bloodstock and Bearded Theory all within 15 miles of the city centre, there’s no shortage of reasons to need a tent.
That’s where Earthrise Camping comes in.
Every tent we hire out has been rescued, refurbished and given a second life. We deliver tent rentals across Derby and Derbyshire at least 24 hours before your hire date and handle collection after you return. 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 dirty returns, because this is British camping. Starting from just £7.50 per night plus a £20 refundable deposit and P&P. Check out our tent hire now.

Why Choose Earthrise Camping in Derby?
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 Derby local heading to the 110 Above or a Derby 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 arrive 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.
