OUR FESTIVAL ADVICE:
OUR PRODUCT RANGE VARIES HUGELY, FROM PLASTIC ‘THUNDER BOXES’ FOR THE MASSES TO VIP UNITS WITH FANCY PANTS INTERIORS.
THE RECIPE FOR SUCCESS CAN ALWAYS BE TWEAKED BUT OUR ESSENTIAL INGREDIENTS ARE:
- Start with a large dose of high quality, clean kit (yes, even for Thunder Boxes)
- Reduce costs by optimising the site plan and units provided
- Add the zest of a multi-award winning energetic, flexible and professional supplier
- Season with trained, full time, on-site event team with bags of experience
- Finish with a sprinkling of fun (who wants to work with boring suppliers?)
Accompany with: Greens (recycled consumables, fuel efficiency and reduced carbon footprint)
Preparation: All instructions to be followed and planned well in advance.
Bake: Usually in the heat of the summer.
Storage: Wrap up well (debrief) after the event and then re-use within 12 months.
Outcome: Multiple trophies in the cabinet and a lot of happy customers!
OUR FESTIVAL CHECKLIST, TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE ALL BASES COVERED!
- The number of guests at your event will determine the number of portable toilets required.
- Other factors to consider are: event duration, food/fluid consumption (particularly alcohol), units available during short intervals/breaks, male:female ratio, extra time required for children, elderly or infirm & whether there will be overnight camping. Please also ensure there are adequate staff facilities.
- Further independent advice on minimum scale for public entertainment are laid out in BS 6465-1:2006+A1:2009 (BSI Group) or via The Purple Guide to Event Management (www.thepurpleguide.co.uk).
- Consider access, location, type of toilet required, lighting, power, water supply, signage & security
- Lighting at night should be minimum 100 lux for general toilet areas & 200 lux for Accessible toilet areas (CIBSE).
- For events licensed for public entertainment, please agree toilet facilities with the local authority.
- The general rule of thumb is to have a minimum of 1 Disabled unit available per 2,000 people attending a public (ticketed) event to comply with the Disability Discrimination Act. Private events do not legally require a Disabled Unit but should be considered if you are aware of guests with specific needs. More information is available at www.direct.gov.uk
- Ensure that your Event Insurance policy covers any loss or damage to the event toilets during the hire period.
