You're exhausted. It's raining. Your tent is wet. The festival is over.
Do you pack it up and take it home, or leave it behind?
Every year, thousands of tents and camping items are abandoned after festivals. But is this simply a litter problem, or have we quietly created a disposable festival culture?
Cheap camping gear has made festivals more accessible than ever, but it has also changed how we value the things we bring. For some, a £20 tent has become just another part of the weekend budget.
Yet some festivals report that the vast majority of tents go home with their owners. So what drives the difference? Is it the person, the product, or the culture surrounding it?
This is Part One of our series exploring festival waste, responsibility, and the future of sustainable camping.
