We are completely self-contained and can work virtually anywhere, when booking the UNPLUGGED BUG we run on solar powered battery packs, we can run our custom built Martin Audio PA for upto 6 hours and then recharged by solar…however for all the other Bugs we do require a power supply, we come prepared with extension cables.

We can run from a single mains supply or a 16amp hook up. If there is no power on site generators can be arranged on request.

When hiring the Discobug we may require a second power source to drive the sound system.

We strive to be as ‘green’ as possible and are working on a fully sustainable project for 2023. We care for our environment. All our vans are trailers, however they do need to be towed to the events. We accept that certain elements of the business are not fully sustainable. For this reason, we plant trees to help us offset our carbon emissions. We are proud to support Ecologi and their good work.

The launch of our partnership with Martin Audio sound has created a revolutionary new solution for outdoor events and we are proud to be pioneers in delivery off grid power for events.

As regards to the bars – we use biodegradable straws and reusable cup ware wherever possible. We recycle glass and dispose of any rubbish at the end of the event. We leave the venue neat and clean as we found it.

If you have enquired about a Bugbar dry hire, you are free to provide whatever drinks you like. However, for any pay bar booking any additional drinks provided will have to be pre agreed, and a corkage fee might apply.

We offer a full bar service from craft beers, ales, wine, bubbles, spirits & mixers through to cocktails. We always have a drinks consultation before the event and recommend a choice of 4-5 cocktails. If you have any preferences we will do our utmost to accommodate.
