Portable showers hire
Shower trailers and units for camping events and multi-day crews. Delivered, set up and collected by suppliers who cover your patch.
Shower hire typically costs £150 to £300 per single unit and £800 to £1,500 for a 4-bay shower trailer for a weekend. Plan 1 shower per 250 campers. Showers need water supply or bowser feed, waste-water collection, and power or gas for heating.
Showers matter the moment anyone sleeps on site: campers, crew, or multi-day traders. Unlike toilets they are infrastructure-hungry: each unit needs water in (mains or bowser), grey water out (tank or soakaway agreement), and energy for heating (LPG or a generator feed). That is why shower planning starts with the site services conversation, not the unit count.
PLANNING RATIOMulti-day camping: about 1 shower per 250 guests keeps morning queues under half an hour.

Portable showers hire: questions organisers ask
How many showers do I need for a camping festival?
About 1 per 250 campers keeps the morning queue tolerable; 1 per 150 feels generous. A 500-camper weekend event is comfortable with a pair of 4-bay trailers, split between camping zones.
What do portable showers need on site?
Three services: water in (mains standpipe or bowser), grey-water handling (waste tank with pump-out, or an agreed soakaway), and heat (LPG bottles supplied with the trailer, or a 32A electric feed from your generator plan).
