You’ve arranged a special day - be that a wedding, a festival, a campsite, a fête…and that is no mean feat. Event organising is a mammoth task, requiring so much juggling you should automatically qualify for a job in the Big Top. But have you considered the final touches that can provide that element of finesse?

Hiring a luxury shower is just one of those luxury touches that can nevertheless have a profound impact on your guests or customers.

What are portable showers?

Portable showers are showers housed in a trailer, with individual cubicles. With varying numbers of cubicles depending on your hire needs, a portable shower comes with the facility to provide hot running water for guests to enjoy. Most units need access to mains water, often through a hose pipe, and will also need an adequate drain and soakaway. Some have water tanks onboard, both as buffer water supplies and to hold grey wastewater, for proper disposal at a later date.

They come with showers that provide hot water with good water pressure, sinks and mirrors, clothes hooks to keep clothing out of the water’s way, LED spotlights, and an onboard gas boiler.

Hiring portable showers is an excellent option for an event with limited access to permanent bathroom facilities - or where the permanent facilities will be overwhelmed by demand. Why invest in permanent fixtures you’ll only need for a short period when you could simply hire the facilities you need for the period you need them for?

Why does my event need portable showering facilities?

As an event organiser, your key objective is likely to be making your punters have a fun, memorable time - and want to return too, if the event is to be repeated! 

Although something like providing showers seems like a little thing, it is these sorts of touches - choices you didn’t have to make, but have chosen to make for the good of your customer, or guest - that create an atmosphere of generosity, rather than a feeling that the organisers have scrimped.

At a festival, for example, you may argue that the vast majority of punters are not looking at whether there are shower facilities. But festivals are sweaty things! If you can provide showers, the 5% of punters who had been worrying about keeping clean and sanitary are now free to stop worrying - and enjoy themselves. And even those with no plans to use showering facilities can rest easy knowing that they are there, should the need arise.

When people are likely to get dirty, that’s when this provision steps up. Think of building site facilities. Think muddy Glasto. Equally, think sunny, sweaty Glasto! They particularly come into their own during multi-day events. 

Finally, we’re all more aware of the need to keep clean, post-pandemic. When many people are in one space together, as they are during events like weddings and festivals, showers help to maintain a higher level of hygiene, keeping everybody cleaner and safer.

Why opt for luxury shower hire?

If you’re going to provide showering facilities, you may as well provide showering facilities that continue to up the ante on your event. Luxury shower hire is the choice here - clean, sparkling, modern, and smart, these facilities reflect well on any situation they’re erected in. It doesn’t have to be an event or festival environment, either - small touches such as the luxury finish a WETHire unit provides can make work sites feel that bit more thought-through and invested-in, in and can often lead to better investment from staff, as they feel more valued and respected.

Equally, you might need longer-term hire solutions, but without the onus of investing in permanent facilities. A seasonal camping, or glamping, site for example, or a newly set up building site, are both prime examples of where shower hire might be a really useful solution. 

Here at WEThire, we make sure that our units provide top-of-the-range specifications. Contemporary and stylish, our shower trailers are wrapped in a wood-style effect and feature clean lines, sparkling fixtures, and a pop of colour from lime green accent walls inside.

Taking only 30 minutes to an hour to install, a luxury shower trailer - whether you need a bank of facilities or just one small 2-bay hire - can make the difference to how people feel, and the impression they take away from your festival, site, or event.

What portable shower hire options are available?

WETHire provides 2, 4, or 6-bay luxury shower trailers for hire. The WETHire two bay, for example, includes:



• Two separate shower cubicles
• A built-in fresh water tank as a buffer (it still requires a constant mains water connection to run the showers)
• Gas boiler onboard, and additional canisters where appropriate
• Hand washing sink with both hot and cold water
• Hot showers with good water pressure
• A seat
• Mirrors
• Practical clothes hooks
• LED spotlights 

To run a two-bay Wight Event Hire luxury shower, you’ll just require a 13 amp or 16 amp power supply. You’ll also need a water supply from the mains - but this can be delivered via a 15-25mm pipe, or even via a garden hose pipe. You’ll need to make sure you have drain access, or a soakaway, for the grey waste water, too. The two-bay trailer is 3.15 metres long (4.4 metres including the tow bar), has a width of 2.1 metres, and a height of 3.2 metres.
