Dewsbury-based outdoor brand wins UK camping award for family tent

August 27, 2026

A Dewsbury-based outdoor brand has been recognised on the national stage after winning a major UK camping award, putting West Yorkshire on the map for outdoor innovation.

Outdoor Revolution, headquartered in Dewsbury, has won a top accolade at the 2026 Out & About Live Camping Awards for its Airedale 400T Air, a family tent praised for its comfort, durability and ease of use.

The award highlights the strength of local businesses in the region, with Outdoor Revolution continuing to grow its reputation as a leading name in camping equipment while operating from the heart of West Yorkshire.

Judges singled out the Airedale 400T Air for its practical design and family-friendly features, including its fast pitch time, air frame system and high-performance weatherproof fabric, making it a standout choice for UK campers. The win is not just a boost for the business, but for the wider local economy, supporting skilled jobs and reinforcing Dewsbury’s role as a base for manufacturing, design and specialist brands.

Iain Duff, Camping Editor, Out & About Live said: “At a time when cash is so tight, it’s vital that campers are as well-informed as possible when it comes to choosing a tent. This is the equipment that we think will make a huge improvement to your camping life this year and will be the best use of your money.

“Tents and camping equipment have changed dramatically over the years, but what hasn’t changed is our knowledge and expertise and that’s why we are such a trusted voice for campers. You know that our seal of approval really means something. The best way to really find out if a tent is right for you is to see it in real life – and that’s why many of Motorhome, Campervan and Camping Exhibition at the award-winning tents will be on display at the Stoneleigh.”

As more people choose camping as an affordable and flexible way to holiday, award-winning products like this are playing a key role in encouraging outdoor travel and supporting the wider UK tourism sector. Local residents are being encouraged to support businesses like Outdoor Revolution, whose success is helping showcase Dewsbury and West Yorkshire as a hub for quality British outdoor products.
