Going to @glastonbury and not sorted a tent yet? We still have availability at our #Ealing and #Pimlico lockers, if you're quick! 🏃♀️⛺️ (You can also book ahead for @LatitudeFest 💡)
Leave no trace by renting instead 🙌💚
‼️An estimated 250,000 tents are abandoned at UK festivals each year. This summer, why not rent a tent instead?

Borrow from @libraryofthings and just pay for the days you need! With locations all over London, inc. #SE16 - find out more here: libraryofthings.co.uk/
