Donate Your Tent

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’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.

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:

Has survived at least one camping trip or festival (shows it’s festival-tough)
Complete tents, no missing poles, flysheets, or bags
Weatherproof and basically sound (not ripped to pieces)
Big enough for festival life (2 to 4 man tents are perfect)
Clean and dry is ideal (a little mud or staining on the outside is fine)
Any decent brand that knows how to make camping gear
Basically If you’d happily camp in it again, then it’s perfect for us!

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.

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.
