Portable toilet hire near Glastonbury and Somerset — event planning guide

Somerset is one of the UK's most active outdoor event regions — home to Glastonbury Festival and dozens of smaller events across the county every summer. If you're planning an event in the area, here's what you need to know about portable toilet hire in Somerset.

The Somerset event season

Somerset hosts more large outdoor events per square mile than almost anywhere else in the UK. Beyond Glastonbury itself, the county is home to Somerton Folk Festival, numerous agricultural shows, outdoor weddings across the Somerset Levels and Mendips, and a packed calendar of village fetes, markets and community events from May through September.

This creates significant demand for portable toilet hire across the county during the summer months — which means booking early is absolutely essential for peak season events.

Booking ahead for Somerset events

June in particular — Glastonbury month — sees the highest demand for portable toilet hire across Somerset and the surrounding counties. Suppliers who normally serve the area get heavily committed to larger events during this period. If your event falls in June, or within a few weeks either side, we recommend booking 4 to 6 months ahead to guarantee availability.

Outside of peak festival season, Somerset suppliers generally have good availability and shorter lead times are possible.

Outdoor weddings in Somerset

Somerset is a hugely popular wedding destination — barn venues, country houses and outdoor marquee sites across the county attract couples from across the UK. Luxury toilet trailers are the standard choice for Somerset outdoor weddings, particularly given the rural settings of many venues. We have strong supplier coverage across Somerset including the Mendips, Levels, Quantocks and surrounding areas.

Rural access in Somerset

Many Somerset event sites and wedding venues are down narrow country lanes with limited vehicle access. This is something to flag when you enquire — our suppliers have experience of rural Somerset access and will advise on the most suitable delivery vehicles and equipment for your specific site.
