Bjc's require a lot of electricity, in a few areas.

The Big top will generally require 1 63amp supply

the marquees will need multiple 13amp supplies at 240v for internal lighting, to power the fridges, pumps etc for the bar, and any bands/sound system also require power.

Gas space heaters run on 110v, so transformers are required to drive those, plus each transformer needs a 13amp supply.

Festoon lighting for around your marquees and in the camp site runs on 110v so this also requires a transformer

The Traders require power as well, many rely on laptops and phones to process credit card orders.

A silenced generator hired in is one option for all this, alternatively your venue might be able to supply your needs.

If you are hiring in a generator be sure to budget for the fuel cost of running it constantly for almost 100 hrs.
