Setting up for an event can take weeks of preparation as well as a lot of time and money. Every stall or interaction with the public brings with it a series of risks which could result in a claim being made against you. Should an accident happen, you may be left facing a hefty claim for injury, damages and legal costs. This is why it’s important to purchase comprehensive market stall insurance.
Most stallholders will be required by law to have public liability insurance. Insure Our Event also recommends event equipment cover, event cancellation cover and employers’ liability insurance.
The Best Stallholder Insurance
This comprehensive stallholder’s insurance policy will protect you from a wide range of eventualities. If bad weather prevents the event going ahead, you would be covered for the loss of revenue and the cost of travel and equipment hire. If an accident happens with your stall, you would be covered for the cost of legal fees if the injured party was unable to work, be they staff, a volunteer or a member of the public.
Whether it be at a village fete, a town market stall or at a local craft fair, Insure Our Event will assess your needs and requirements and curate the perfect policy for you. Our stallholders insurance is flexible, able to cover only the areas you require for the ideal tailored policy.
