Festival Toilet Planning Guide
❓ How many toilets do I need for a festival?
The HSE recommends 1 toilet per 100 attendees as a minimum for outdoor events. For festivals lasting more than 6 hours, increase to 1 per 75. Add 20% extra capacity for alcohol-licensed events. For multi-day festivals, allow for regular servicing.
❓ How often do festival toilets need servicing?
For a single-day festival, most units will last the event without servicing. For multi-day festivals, units should be pumped out and restocked every 24–48 hours depending on usage.
❓ Do I need permission to bring in portable toilets?
For public events you'll need an event licence from your local authority which will specify sanitation requirements. Your toilet hire supplier can advise on how to meet these requirements.
❓ When should I book festival toilet hire?
For summer festivals, book as early as possible — ideally 6–12 months in advance. Popular suppliers get fully booked for peak season dates. For smaller one-off events, 4–8 weeks notice is usually sufficient.
How to Choose the Right Festival Toilet Supplier
Festival sanitation can make or break your event. Here's what to look for when selecting a supplier.
Capacity Planning
A good supplier will help you calculate the right number of units based on your expected attendance, event duration and whether alcohol is served.
Servicing Schedule
For multi-day events, confirm how often units will be pumped out and restocked. Get this in writing as part of your contract.
Logistics Experience
Large-scale festivals require careful logistics. Choose a supplier experienced in delivering and positioning large quantities of units within tight event build windows.
Insurance & Risk Assessment
Your event licence will require suppliers to have public liability insurance. Ask for certificates and any relevant risk assessments.
On-Call Support
Things go wrong at festivals. Ensure your supplier offers emergency on-call support throughout your event for any issues that arise.
Environmental Credentials
Consider suppliers who use eco-friendly chemicals and responsible waste disposal practices, particularly important for events with an environmental focus.
