The number of portable toilets required for an event in the UK depends on the expected attendance, duration, and whether alcohol will be served. Here are general guidelines based on British Standard BS6465-1:2006 for events without alcohol:
For a 6-hour event:
Up to 100 people: 1-2 portable toilets
100-250 people: 3-4 portable toilets
250-500 people: 6-8 portable toilets
500-1000 people: 12 portable toilets
1000-2000 people: 25 portable toilets
2000-3000 people: 38 portable toilets
If alcohol is served, increase the number of toilets by 15-20% to account for increased usage.
These are just basic guidelines, and other factors like the type of event, the gender balance of attendees, and access to permanent facilities can affect the final count.
