Made from a new Sentinel Eco™ fabric incorporating recycled PET plastic bottles, salvaged from waterways, streets and landfill, the new Vango tents use a minimum of 69 plastic bottles for the three sleeper Devon tent, through to 302 plastic bottles for the six sleeper Antrim. In the first year of release, it is projected that the National Trust camping collection will repurpose almost 295,000 PET plastic bottles.

The collaboration with the National Trust celebrates the organisations’ shared passion for enjoying and caring for the great outdoors. Through sales of the National Trust camping collection, Vango will contribute a minimum of £10,000 to the National Trust, to help fund conservation projects in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, so that future generations can enjoy the places, we as a nation, love to experience.

Three tents, the Devon 300, Cumbria 500 and Antrim Air 600XL, as well as two styles of sleeping bag, the Gwent and Surrey, will be featured at the NEC.
