Four million Brits will abandon £2,000,000 worth of tents and sleeping bags alone each year, according to a new study.
Including (76%) of festival goers from East/East Anglia who leave their tents and sleeping bags behind – worth an average of £140 in the mistaken belief that they are collected and given to charity.
The research commissioned by Go Outdoors found that booze was a more important item than sun screen and wellies to festival goers from East/East Anglia.
Alcohol is also more important than food as the average UK festival spend on booze is £47.93£ versus £42.60 on items to eat.
