Camping Tent Hire Manchester
Affordable Tent Rental For Festivals, Camping And Everything In Between
Manchester doesn’t do things quietly. Built on industrial grit and reinvented through music, this is a city where The Hacienda changed clubbing forever, where Oasis and The Smiths rewrote the rules of indie, and where The Warehouse Project keeps that legacy alive every year. From the preserved heritage of Castlefield and the Science and Industry Museum to the relentless energy of a nightlife scene regularly described as one of the best in Europe, Manchester has always punched above its weight culturally. And with Parklife literally on the city’s doorstep, plus the likes of Kendal Calling, and Creamfields all within easy reach, festival season here isn’t a novelty, it’s part of the city’s DNA.
But here’s the thing: Manchester’s also a city that’s pushing hard on sustainability. The Plastic-Free Greater Manchester campaign and the city’s wider circular economy ambitions are all about reducing waste and rethinking how we consume. Buying cheap tents, using them once and dumping them in landfill? That’s exactly the kind of throwaway culture Manchester is trying to leave behind.
That’s where Earthrise Camping comes in.
We’re the UK’s first nationwide circular tent hire service, rescuing unwanted tents, refurbishing them and getting them back out into the wild. Book online, and we’ll deliver your tent rental across Manchester and Greater Manchester 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. Starting from just £7.50 per night plus a £20 refundable deposit and P&P. Check out our tent hire now.

How It Works
A Snippet Of Our Camping Tent Rental Options
2 Person Tents
The Eurohike Cairns 2 DLX is a step up for anyone who wants a bit more from their festival tent. It comes with a proper porch area with its own built-in groundsheet, giving you somewhere to dump muddy boots and kit without bringing the festival floor into your sleeping space. The bedroom is roomy enough to fit a standard double airbed, so you’re not spending the weekend wedged against the side of the tent. Pitch is a doddle with colour coded poles, which means you’ll be setup quickly for a more comfortable weekend in no time.
4 Person Family Tents
Our Hampton 4 is the group tent for people who don’t want to rough it. The large living area gives you proper space to spread out, socialise, and store your kit, and with enough standing headroom to make sure you’re not hunching around all weekend. The bedroom can be divided into two separate sleeping zones or opened up into one big space, depending on your group. And with panoramic windows and mesh-backed doors keep the airflow going without letting the bugs in, so you can actually enjoy your evenings without zipping everything shut.
Professionally Cleaned & Maintained
Every tent is thoroughly cleaned, dried, and inspected between hires. We maintain high cleaning and hygiene standards so you receive a fresh, ready-to-use tent every time. No need to worry about festival grime from previous users.
Festivals Near Manchester
Manchester’s position in the North West makes it one of the best-connected festival cities in the UK, and its circular economy ambitions give tent hire an extra layer of relevance here. The city’s push towards reducing waste and promoting sustainable consumption, including the Plastic-Free Greater Manchester initiative, is about changing habits, not just policies. Hiring a tent that’s been rescued, refurbished and kept in circulation rather than buying disposable gear fits that mindset perfectly.
As for where to go, you’re spoilt for choice. Parklife is practically in the city at Heaton Park, Kendal Calling is a couple of hours up the M6 in the Lake District, and Creamfields is barely an hour away in Cheshire. Head further afield and you’ve got Leeds Festival, Download and Glastonbury all within range. Manchester Piccadilly connects you to virtually everywhere, and the M60/M62/M6 motorway network puts the entire UK festival circuit within comfortable reach. Below are some top options within easy reach:

Why Choose Earthrise Camping in Manchester?
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 Manchester local heading to the Kendal Calling or a Manchester 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.
