Blacks discount codes: Save up to 20% on outdoor brands in September 2025

There are myriad deals available in the outdoor specialist’s clearance sale - (Blacks/The Independent)

From kayaks to waterproof layers, outdoor specialist Blacks boasts camping and sports essentials for every adventure, making it a port of call for avid explorers. We’ve pulled together the latest Blacks promo codes and deals to help you save on kit for your next trip.

Students can save 10 per cent at Blacks

If you’re in sixth form, college, university or an apprenticeship, you can get 10 per cent on select products. Just verify your identity via Unidays or Student Beans and you’ll receive a unique discount code to use at checkout. However, this discount can’t be used in conjunction with any other deals.

Up to 15% off with Blacks’s NHS and Blue Light discounts

NHS staff can access a 10 per cent discount (online only) by registering with Health Service Discounts. If you have a Blue Light Card, which covers NHS, emergency services, armed forces, teachers, and social care staff, you can also get a 15 per cent discount on full-price items in-store and online.

Verification requires a valid work email or photo ID. The discount will typically exclude sale items, gift cards, and certain premium brands.

Other Blacks discounts through the Scouts, Guides, Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and more

Blacks also offers discounts to a range of groups, including Scouts, Guides, participants of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, NUS and more. How you can access this discount depends on which group you’re a part of, so head to Blacks’s website for the full list of partners and details of how to sign up.

Save up to 50 per cent in the Blacks mid-season sale

Blacks’s current sale means you can get outdoor clothing and gear with up to 50 per cent off the price. For example, this Vango Icarus family tent is reduced by 45 per cent (was £460, now £249), and this North Face hathersage insulated jacket is discounted by 47 per cent (was £240, now £126.97).
