Hosts planning individual servings
A 24 x 330ml case provides 24 sealed cans and 7.92 litres. Count cans against expected guests if you plan to offer one can per person, and allow separately for anyone likely to take another.
Who is buying for?
The useful pack choice depends on how guests will help themselves, which water they prefer and how empties will be collected.
Hosts serving both still and sparkling water
Still and sparkling cases let guests choose between non-carbonated water and fizz. Work out the mix before ordering rather than assuming one format will suit the whole group.
Hosts planning the clean-up
If cans are part of the party plan, provide somewhere clearly marked for empties and check how they can be collected at the venue. An aluminium can is not, by itself, a recycling arrangement.
What should you check before ordering?
Start with the number of individual servings and the still-to-sparkling mix. Then confirm that the exact pack can reach your event location in time and that you have room to store and serve it.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Servings | Check the can count and size. A 24 x 330ml case contains 24 cans and 7.92 litres; add the totals for any still and sparkling cases you order. | I want enough individual cans for the expected guests, without counting a sparkling can as a still-water option. |
| Still or sparkling | Confirm which cases contain still water and which contain carbonated water. Check the mix rather than choosing by case count alone. | Some guests may want fizz, while others will want water without carbonation. |
| Exact format | Read the container type, can size and pack count on the product page. A brand's bottle multipack or single can is not the same purchase as a case of cans. | If I am setting out self-serve cans, a familiar brand name alone does not tell me whether the listing fits that plan. |
| Delivery | Check availability for your location, the delivery date and any seller restrictions before ordering. South Downs Water says its direct online shop accepts orders in England and Wales and aims to deliver within five working days. | The cases need to arrive before the street party, with enough time to put aside the cans I plan to serve cool. |
| Storage and clean-up | Check the pack's storage instructions and the space available for cooling. Arrange a container for empties and check the venue or local collection arrangements. | I need a workable place for the cases before the event and a clear plan for the empty cans afterwards. |
What can go wrong?
-
Ordering only sparkling water for a mixed group
Guests who do not want carbonation would have no still-water choice from those cases.
Plan a still option, then add sparkling cans if guests are likely to want them.
-
Counting cases instead of cans
A 24 x 330ml case gives 24 individual cans and 7.92 litres. The case count alone does not show how many still servings will be available.
Start with the expected guest count, then count still and sparkling servings separately.
-
Leaving empty cans without a collection plan
Recyclable packaging still needs a suitable collection arrangement after the party.
Put out a labelled container for empties and check the venue or local council's collection instructions.
Which brands and formats are relevant?
Brand ranges include different containers and pack sizes. Use the exact listing to distinguish a canned case from a single can or a bottle multipack.
Cano Water
Nisbets lists Cano Water still and sparkling water in separate 24 x 330ml aluminium-can cases.
- Both formats allow a host to plan a still-and-sparkling selection using the same can size.
- Check the chosen seller's delivery terms and the event-date availability of each case.
South Downs Water
South Downs Water lists separate still and sparkling 24 x 330ml canned cases on its direct shop.
- The two case formats make can counts straightforward when planning a mix.
- Its direct shop says it accepts orders only in England and Wales and aims to deliver within five working days; check whether that works for your event.
Evian
Evian describes a 33cl sparkling aluminium can for the UK market.
- A sparkling can is part of the brand's stated range.
- Check the listing's pack count: a single 330ml can does not meet a multipack requirement.
Highland Spring
Highland Spring says its range includes still and sparkling water in cans as well as other containers.
- The range gives hosts reason to check both water types.
- Confirm the exact container and count: the Highland Spring multipack in the cited Sainsbury's listing contains bottles.
Buxton
The cited Sainsbury's listing includes Buxton water in a bottle multipack.
- A bottle multipack is an option if cans are not essential to the serving plan.
- Check for an explicitly labelled can multipack before using Buxton for a cans-first order.
Volvic
The cited Sainsbury's listing includes Volvic still water in a 6 x 1.5L bottle multipack.
- Larger bottles can be considered if individual cans are not required.
- That bottle pack does not provide individual 330ml canned servings.
Sainsbury's
Sainsbury's lists its own still and sparkling spring water in 12 x 500ml bottle multipacks.
- The listed bottle packs offer a still-or-sparkling choice when bottles suit the party.
- Check the container type before ordering: these listings are for bottles, not cans.
Joybuy options for the party
These options include plain still and sparkling water in 24 x 330ml cans, plus flavoured sparkling alternatives. The flavoured drinks are not substitutes for a plain still-water choice; check each pack count and delivery date against your party plan.

Frequently asked questions
How many individual drinks are in a 24 x 330ml case?
There are 24 cans, containing 7.92 litres in total. Count still and sparkling cans separately if you want to make sure guests have a choice.
Should I order still or sparkling cans for a street party?
Order still water if guests need a non-carbonated choice, and add sparkling cans when fizz is wanted. For a mixed group, offering both avoids relying on one preference for everyone.
Does a familiar water brand's multipack necessarily contain cans?
No. The cited Sainsbury's listings include bottle multipacks from several familiar brands, while Evian describes a UK sparkling can. Check the exact product page for the container, can count and size before ordering.
How should I store canned water before the party?
Follow the instructions on the case. South Downs Water advises keeping its cans in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and heat; check the printed best-before date and allow space to chill the cans you plan to serve cool.
What should I do with empty cans after the party in England?
Collect them separately at the event and check the venue or local council's instructions. England's Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs says metal is included in dry recyclable materials collected separately by default, while local transitional arrangements may apply.
