Your Event Has Grown From 100 Guests to 500. Do You Have Enough Toilets?
It’s a great problem to have. Your event is proving more popular than expected, ticket sales are climbing and what started as a gathering for 100 people is now looking more like 500.
But when the guest list grows, it’s important that your facilities grow with it.
One of the easiest things to overlook when an event expands is the number of toilets available. Facilities that were perfectly adequate for the original attendance may quickly become overwhelmed when hundreds more guests arrive.
More Guests Means More Demand
Long queues for toilets can have a surprisingly big impact on an event. Guests spend more time waiting and less time enjoying themselves, while facilities can become harder to keep clean and well stocked throughout the day.
If your expected attendance has increased significantly, it’s worth reviewing your toilet provision as early as possible.
The right number will depend on several factors, including:
- The number of people attending
- How long the event will last
- Whether alcohol is being served
- The type of event
- The mix of male and female guests
- Whether accessible facilities are required
- Whether existing permanent toilets are available on site
An event growing from 100 guests to 500 isn’t simply a case of squeezing a few more people into the venue. Your supporting facilities need to be capable of handling the additional demand too.
Don't Forget Accessible Facilities
As attendance grows, accessibility should remain an important part of your planning.
Providing suitable accessible toilets helps ensure your event is welcoming and practical for everyone. These facilities should be considered as part of the overall toilet provision rather than as an afterthought.
It's Easier to Add Facilities Before the Event
The good news is that an increase in attendance doesn't have to create a problem.
Additional portable toilets and toilet trailers can be delivered to provide the extra capacity your event needs. Planning ahead also gives you more opportunity to think about positioning, access for delivery and collection, servicing requirements and the most appropriate type of facilities for your guests.
At UK Loos, we provide a range of temporary toilet solutions for events, from individual portable toilets and accessible facilities through to larger toilet trailers.
So, if your event has grown since you first started planning it, take another look at the toilets.
