Rental type
Four weeks means long-term rental
From four weeks, the long-term rental with a weekly service clean pays off.
The standard toilet cabin costs €29.50 per week net on a long-term rental, the accessible cabin €80.00 per week net. One service clean per week is included. For busy markets we agree a tighter interval, for example two service visits per week. If the market only runs for one weekend, the short-term rental applies at €110.00 net per cabin.
Demand
Mulled wine has consequences
Where drinks are served, demand rises by about a quarter. At a Christmas market, drinks are the norm.
As a starting point, plan one unit per 100 guests for a stay of up to four hours. Christmas markets have changing crowds through the afternoon and evening, so the peak visitor number counts, usually at weekends. A urinal stand with four places relieves several cabins at peak times and takes up hardly any space. A hand-wash station belongs where food is served.
Winter
Light, fan heater, frost
It is dark from 4 pm, and from the end of November it can freeze.
- Light add-on: €4.00 per week net on a long-term rental. Without light the cabin is not found or not used in the evening.
- Fan heater add-on: €7.50 per week net. Keeps the cabin usable in frost, needs power.
- Frost protection: in persistent frost we change the sanitary fluid, which happens during the service.
- Hand sanitiser instead of a hand-wash station if the fresh water could freeze.
Public
Accessible and reachable
A Christmas market is a public event. At least one accessible cabin is part of it.
What matters is level, paved ground and a signposted approach free of cables and stall poles. And one more thing that is easily forgotten at Christmas markets: our service vehicle must still be able to get within seven metres of the cabins once the stalls are up. Plan the location by an access that is not blocked during opening hours.
Frequently asked questions
How many toilets does a Christmas market with 2,000 visitors at the weekend need?
As a rough figure around 20 units, at least one of them accessible, plus urinal stands for peak times and a hand-wash station by the food. The requirements calculator takes drinks sales and duration into account; it becomes binding in a conversation.
Do the cabins need power?
The cabins themselves do not. Light and fan heater need a power connection, which a Christmas market usually has anyway.
How often is cleaning done during the market?
Once a week on a long-term rental, more often by arrangement when the market is busy. We set the interval with you before set-up.
By when should I enquire for the Christmas market?
The earlier, the more certain quantities and fixed dates for delivery and collection are. For markets starting at the end of November we recommend enquiring by mid-October. Short-notice enquiries are best settled by phone on 0800 800 6700.
