Get insurance

By law, you must have the right insurance for your event. The event organiser must find a company that offers suitable insurance and buy this.

This includes:

  • Public Liability Insurance – to cover any harm to the public
  • Employer’s Liability Insurance – if you have staff or volunteers

How much cover do you need?

The amount of cover you need depends on your event. For most events on council land, you’ll need at least £10 million in Public Liability Insurance.

To make sure your event has the right cover, please contact the Insurance Officer

You must show proof of your insurance when asked. The Insurance Officer will check your certificates before the event can go ahead.
