Event Hire Guidelines

Home/ Event Hire Guidelines

Always consider the following when determining the minimum provision for the sanitary conveniences:

The duration of the event
Perceived audience food and liquid consumption
Adequate provision during the intervals and breaks in the performance
Requirements for event-related temporary campsites
Provision for suitable facilities for children, elderly or infirm people attending the event who may take longer to use the facilities
Weather conditions and temperatures

These tables show the general guidelines for a music event, although these figures may be too high for short duration / 'non peak' period events such as country fairs and garden parties, or too low for events with high levels of fluid consumption or where camping will occur.

For events with a gate opening time
of 6 hours or more

For events with a gate opening time
