As an event organiser, your priority is the comfort of your guests and attendees. Functional shower facilities can go a long way to helping you achieve this, as they offer an easy way for guests to freshen up and stay comfortable throughout the duration of your event. But why else does your event need portable shower hire? Read on to find out!
Hygiene and comfort for attendees
The most obvious reason for renting portable showers is to provide attendees with basic hygiene facilities. Whether your event is held over several days or just a few hours, portable showers ensure that participants, volunteers, and staff have a clean place to wash up. This becomes even more important at events that involve physical activity, such as sports tournaments, endurance races, or festivals/weddings with outdoor camping. Without shower facilities, guests might feel uncomfortable or become less willing to participate fully, particularly during hot weather or after strenuous activities. On multi-day events, it could even lead to guests/participants leaving early.
Portable showers are suitable for a variety of events
Portable showers are not just for long-term camping or festivals. They can be an ideal solution for a wide range of event types. For instance, outdoor weddings and corporate events, which might not have access to permanent shower facilities, benefit from temporary shower units. Additionally, sporting events or music festivals, where people might be engaging in physical activities or dancing for hours, require portable showers for refreshing during breaks. Events that take place in remote areas, like hiking competitions or multi-day adventure races, often rely on portable showers as a necessity due to the lack of local amenities. Where institutions like schools and universities are welcoming guest teams, for example for a sports competition, portable shower hire can help them maintain the ratios set out in Government guidelines.
Convenience and flexibility
One of the major advantages of portable showers is their convenience and flexibility. These units are easily transported and can be set up at almost any location. Whether your event is being held in a park, at a beach, or on a large piece of land with no pre-existing facilities, portable showers can be quickly installed and fully functional. At Wight Event Toilet Hire, our portable shower units require flat, level ground, a constant fresh water supply and a 13-amp or 16-amp power supply. We also recommend a drain or soak away for the grey water waste and can give you more information about this on request.
Increased event appeal
Providing proper sanitation facilities, including showers, is one of the easiest ways to elevate the appeal of your event. When potential attendees know that they’ll have access to clean, well-maintained shower facilities, they’ll be more inclined to attend. It’s not just about comfort—having showers available can signal to guests that you care about their experience and well-being. Moreover, it reduces the need for attendees to leave the venue to find public restrooms or shower facilities elsewhere, ensuring they stay on-site and continue enjoying the event.
Cost-effective and hassle-free
While it may seem like an added expense, renting portable showers is a cost-effective solution when compared to the costs and challenges of installing permanent shower facilities. At WET Hire, our portable shower hire prices start from just £450 +VAT and all our shower trailers can be rented for short-term use and with the advantage of no long-term maintenance. This means you avoid the headaches of dealing with plumbing, cleaning, and the logistical challenges of setting up permanent structures for a transient/temporary event. We will handle all aspects of setup and maintenance, ensuring that your event runs smoothly without you needing to manage these details yourself.
Environmental considerations
Many modern portable shower units can help your event maintain an environmentally-conscious profile, as these systems are more efficient in their water usage than permanent facilities.
Is portable shower hire just for public events?
