Festival Survival Guide

Festival season is here! 🎉

Events like Glastonbury, Victorious and Boomtown are on the horizon. A time of live music, magic, and probably mud. But while you’re busy planning your glittery outfits and perfecting your tent feng shui, there’s one battlefield you must never underestimate: the festival loo.

Fear not, brave reveller. The loo experts are here with your essential guide to surviving any festival toilet with your dignity (and your phone) intact.

📱Take Your Phone Out of Your Back Pocket

Repeat after me: “I will not sacrifice my phone to the toilet gods.”
Festival loos are like black holes for smartphones. Trust us, the number of drowned phones we recover skyrockets during festival season. Before you enter the cubicle, remove your phone, wallet, and any other valuables from your back pocket.

🧻 Bring Your Own Loo Roll

All our loos are stocked with plenty of toilet paper when they arrive, and after each clean – but that roll might be long gone by the time you arrive. Festival loo roll can sometimes vanish faster than your mates when it’s time to pack up the tent. Be the hero your campsite deserves. Pack a roll (or three) of your own. Your future self will thank you.

🧴 Carry Hand Sanitiser

All our loos come equipped with hand sanitiser as standard, so you’re never left high and dry. And if you’re lucky enough to be using one of our luxury units (get you!), then you’ll find actual sinks with liquid hand soap — yes, real soap, like in the good old days of indoor plumbing.
However, like loo roll – you never want to be caught short. Keep a trusty bottle of hand sanitiser clipped to your bag like a badge of honour. It’s your first line of defence against whatever mysterious substances are lurking on that toilet door handle.

👢 Wear Wellies — Even in the Loo

You thought the mud was only outside?
Festival loos can be slippery after hours of muddy feet using the facilities. Wellies aren’t just for the fields — they’re your shoe of choice.

🧼 Time Your Visit After the #LOOCREW have visited

Want the VIP experience without the VIP price tag? Swing by just after our team works their magic — you’ll find sparkling seats, stocked supplies, and a loo so fresh it practically deserves its own spotlight.

🧠 Learn the Art of Loo Selection

Not all festival toilets are created equal! We spoke to Megan, a seasoned loo attendant, who gave us this top toilet tip. “Always go for the loo furthest from the main path. The further you walk, the cleaner the loo. It’s basic survival.”

🚽 Consider Paying for VIP Loos

Let’s be honest: sometimes, peace of mind is worth a few extra quid. If the thought of battling the bog-standard loos fills you with dread, VIP toilets might just be your best bet for a stress-free festival experience. We have quite the offering, including: the 2+1 Luxury and the 3+1 Contemporary trailers.

With LOOS FOR DOs, these upgraded facilities include:

Flushing toilets
Running water and sinks
Liquid hand soap and mirrors (selfie anyone?!) 📸
Actual lighting

Congratulations, you’re now officially toilet-trained for festival life. Go forth, dance, and never underestimate the power of a spare loo roll. 🎪💃🧻

“Your guys are truly amazing … Marek, Damian, Tom…

They listen to what is required, do as requested, as it always changes every year, depending on the weather and condition of the field, work out the best way to do it, are polite, friendly and always work with a smile.

All these toilets are delivered down a single-track road and they are accommodating to other moving traffic coming in and out of the park and nothing is a bother to any of them.

You do really have a great bunch of men working for you and who are clearly proud to be part of your company.”
