Affordable Tent Rental For Festivals, Camping And Everything In Between

Northampton is a city built on making things that last. For centuries, its shoe manufacturing heritage defined the town with craftsmanship, durability, getting more life out of quality materials. That industrial spirit hasn’t disappeared, it’s just evolved into the Cultural Quarter, which has brought a creative edge to the city, but that practical, make-it-count DNA is still there.

That edge extends to how Northampton is thinking about its future. West Northants Council is transitioning to a new “1, 2, 3+” waste collection model by 2027, designed to slash landfill waste and boost recycling rates, part of a broader shift towards environmental impact as a core priority. So a throwaway camping culture, cheap tents bought, used once and dumped, doesn’t sit well in a city that’s actively rethinking how it handles waste. With festivals like Shambala, Stowaway and Found Festival all practically on your doorstep, there’s a better way to camp.

That’s where Earthrise Camping comes in.

We rescue unwanted tents, refurbish them and give them a second life , circular tent hire that fits a city moving away from landfill. We deliver tent rentals across Northampton and Northamptonshire 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 (so what more do you expect!). 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 Northampton?

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 Northampton local heading to Shambala or a University of Northampton student that is planning your summer getaway, 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.
