Generator Hire for Events, Festivals & Live Broadcast
After 25 years working within the entertainment industry Midas have developed an outstanding reputation for delivering safe, reliable power solutions nationwide.
Midas recognised at an early stage in its development that in order to respond to its clients demands and requirements; that is, providing consistent, well maintained and reliable machinery, in this most challenging industry, was to own the machinery itself.
Investment in plant is one of our main annual expenditures and the programme of investment remains ongoing.
To complement the generator fleet Midas also stock large quantities of mains cable and distribution products, which cater from the smallest function to some of the country’s most prestigious events and festivals.
Planning before deployment
An integral part of any temporary electrical system is the planning before deployment. Midas offer full site design, usually working to very tight timescales and budgetary demands, often in some of the most challenging or environmentally sensitive locations around the UK.
All contracts are bespoke by nature and are treated accordingly, with the aim to deliver efficient, reliable and above all safe electrical systems.
All operations are assessed from optimised generator sizing to avoid generator plant running inefficiently, to road haulage and logistics.
The aim is to deliver cost effective solutions to our festival power hire clients whilst at all times minimising the impact on the environment.

Powering Events and Festivals with Confidence
Delivering reliable power for events and festivals requires careful planning, technical expertise, and a flexible approach to suit a wide range of environments. From small private gatherings to large-scale festivals, every event presents its own unique challenges, making thorough preparation essential.
A key part of this process is conducting site visits. No two events are the same, and taking the time to assess the location in advance allows potential issues to be identified and resolved before equipment and teams arrive on site. Whether it’s a local wedding or a major outdoor festival, this level of pre-planning helps ensure a smooth setup and avoids unnecessary complications during the event itself.
Safety and compliance are also critical when managing temporary power systems. Once installation is complete, the system can be fully signed off to BS7909 standards, providing reassurance that all electrical work meets the required regulations for temporary installations. This ensures both organisers and attendees can have confidence in the safety of the setup.
In addition to power generation, full site-wide connectivity solutions are available. With a large stock of mains cabling and distribution boxes, power can be efficiently distributed across the entire event site. Backed by over 25 years of experience, Midas has delivered power solutions in a wide variety of locations, including some particularly complex and challenging environments—ensuring reliable performance no matter the scale or setting.
By combining detailed planning, certified installations, and extensive on-site experience, event organisers can rely on a seamless and dependable power solution from start to finish.
