Donate Your Tent
Let your unwanted tent to Earthrise Camping’s circular economy hire fleet.
Giving it a new life, reducing waste and freeing up your storage space.
Festival Done? We’ll Take That Tent Off Your Hands
We’ve all been there. You buy a tent for a couple of uses and now it’s sitting in your boot or loft and has been for months, hasn’t it?
If it’s doing nothing else and you have no plans for it, we’d love to take it off your hands and lend it to someone who’ll have the best weekend with it.
We’re the UK’s first tent hire company that operates on circular economy principles, so we will collect it without fuss (as long as it’s in decent nick), someone will then get their festival sorted and you get your space back.
Everybody’s happy.
How It Works
Drop Us A Message
Send us an email at: donate@earthrisecamping.co.uk with your postcode, tent brand and size (if you know it) & any camping war stories it’s survived.
We’ll Sort Shipping
We’ll send you a prepaid label and confirm either when the collection will be made or where your nearest drop-off point is. Whichever we’ve agreed on.
We All Benefit
A happy camper gets to hire your gear, you get your space back and one less tent ends up in landfill. Proper win-win-win.
We Do Tent Hire Differently
We’re the only tent hire company in the country doing the full circle. Collecting donated tents from across the UK, refurbishing them properly and putting them back into rental use. Not just passing them along as is.
Most hire companies just buy new. Many tents left behind at festivals or ‘donated’ tents sadly never make it to charity or reuse, they often go straight to landfill instead. We’ve built a smarter way: transform your unwanted tent into a fully camp-ready gem. Every tent we collect is inspected, cleaned and repaired, so it’s genuinely useful again. That means less waste, more adventures and a positive impact that you can actually see.
Instead of letting your gear sit idle, we give it a new life, letting you enjoy the satisfaction of helping someone avoid a leaky weekend and keeping one less tent from being manufactured new.
Tent Donations We’re Looking For
We want to give festival-goers and campers an awesome time, so we’re on the lookout for gear that can handle a bit of mud, keep someone dry and still have plenty of life left in it. If you think you have a tent that will perform whether it’s seen one festival or ten, then we’re definitely interested.
We can’t take everything though (huge festival gazebos that have survived hurricanes aren’t really our forte!). Our focus is on practical camping gear that’s easy to refurbish and ready to hit the field again.
From Storage Trouble
To It’s Preferred Life


We’re After Tents That Are Ready For Their Next Adventure:
This keeps things quick and hassle-free. We can give your tent a once-over, get it ready and send it straight out for someone else’s weekend, instead of leaving it stuck in repairs. Decent tents mean less waste, more space back for you and the good feeling of knowing your gear’s straight back in action where it belongs.
But if your tent’s more ‘festival retirement’, not to worry! We can point you towards other options that would love it.
Get That Space Back
Ready to reclaim that precious space in your boot, shed, or hallway? Donating your tent couldn’t be easier (and it feels pretty great too!). Instead of letting that tent gather dust or worse, mildew, you can turn it into someone else’s weekend adventure with just one quick message.
Just message us at donate@earthrisecamping.co.uk with:
A quick photo of your tent
Brand & Size
What festivals or trips it has been on (Just curious!)
We’ll then take it from there. No forms, no fuss. We’ll confirm the same day and arrange a collection that fits your schedule. You get instant breathing room and another camper gets to keep the good times rolling.
Whether you’re clearing out after Glasto, tackling the “loft of doom”, or just sick of tripping over it in the shed, this is your easy solution.
Free your space. Share the adventure.
After We Collect It
We’ll give your tent some love, make sure it’s ready for festival life and then some lucky camper gets to relax about their weekend. All the while you get your boot space back. Everyone wins!
Tents that aren’t quite right for festival life get passed on to local groups who’ll love them. We ensure nothing goes to waste.
