Festival bar hire brings a fully equipped, professionally staffed mobile bar to outdoor festivals, community events, and large-scale gatherings across London. From small neighbourhood festivals to 500-person outdoor events, The Sesh Bars delivers licensed bar service that keeps your crowd served and your event running smoothly.
Festival bar hire is a mobile bar service designed for outdoor events where no permanent bar infrastructure exists. A complete bar unit built for outdoor use, professional bartenders, licensing, and a high-volume drinks selection are brought to your site.
Festival bar hire differs from standard event bar hire in scale, logistics, and equipment. Outdoor setups use weather-resistant bar units, portable power solutions, and high-volume service systems capable of handling large crowds efficiently. The Sesh Bars has operated festival bars at events across London since 2018 — from rooftop summer parties to open-air cinema events and community festivals.

Do you need a licence for a festival bar?
Yes. Outdoor events serving alcohol to the public require a Temporary Event Notice or Premises Licence depending on guest numbers and ticketing. The Sesh Bars advises on requirements at quote stage.
Can you provide bar hire for a festival with 500+ guests?
Yes. Multi-bar setups with increased staffing and high-volume equipment are available. Contact us directly for large events.
What power supply do you need for an outdoor bar?
A standard 13-amp socket within 25 metres covers most setups. Generator hire is available for remote outdoor sites without power.
How far in advance should I book festival bar hire?
8–12 weeks for summer festival dates. June, July, and August fill fastest. Bank holiday weekends should be booked by March.
