The winter weather brings uncertainty, and if it rains or snows your event could be forced to cancel. Our bad weather insurance will cover the cost of cancellation, including venue hire, equipment hire and catering costs.

Risk management of your Christmas party or market is necessary to reduce the likelihood of a claim. Insure Our Event will provide information and guidance on safely running your event. For a quick test, see our Spot the risk test.
If you employ staff for your event or use volunteers, then having employers’ liability insurance in place is mandatory. Public liability insurance is required by councils for a street party. Many venues will require you to show proof of insurance before allowing you to go ahead with your Christmas event. Private parties do not require insurance, however it is highly recommended.
The only way to cover your finances when setting up a market is to take out insurance. Legal fees due to claims from staff or the public are expensive, and the costs of replacing stolen equipment are exorbitant. To keep your finances protected from any eventuality, Insure Our Event’s flexible insurance policies will cater to your requirements.
