We are only able to provide cover for events taking place within the United Kingdom.

Our policy is designed to cover events organised by UK based individuals and organisations. Therefore, if you are not based in the UK, we are unable to offer cover.

We cannot recommend which level of cover you need for your event, but if you are hiring a space from a Local Authority or another third party we advise you to check with them whether they require a minimum level of Public Liability.

You should take out your One Off Event Insurance policy as early as you can. By purchasing your cover at the earliest opportunity, you are giving yourself the maximum protection against cancellation. If you require cancellation cover, you need to give at least 14 days notice to purchase this cover, you will be unable to buy cancellation cover within 14 days before the start of the event.

If you have anyone working for you, whether they are paid or otherwise, you legally must take out Employers’ Liability. The only exception is if those staff are bona fide sub-contractors with their own Public Liability of at least £2 million.

For your policy’s Cancellation cover to come into effect under the Adverse Weather clause we require either a health and safety official or appropriate emergency authority to certify that it is dangerous or reckless to hold the event. We may require you to provide photographic evidence and Met Office records in the event of a claim under this benefit.

Yes we can offer cover for an event even in the week it is happening. Please note that for any events taking place within fourteen days, there will be no Cancellation Cover.

There are two event types available, these are fireworks and bonfire displays provided by yourselves (the insured) and those displays provided by professional third party pyrotechnical companies, whom have their own insurance to provide fireworks and/or bonfire displays. Please make sure to apply for the correct one depending on which on applies to your event.

This may need to be considered by ourselves prior to giving a definitive answer and a quotation but you can opt to enquire about this during the quote process by selecting Cancellation Cover and then the Non-Appearance extension within this cover.

Any independent stallholder, exhibitor or tradesman that works, sells or exhibits at your event should hold their own Public Liability Insurance. Our Multi Event Insurance policy is designed to cover you as the event organiser for your Liability.

It will depend upon what the condition is and the treatment being received, and it may be affected by the sport that you are planning to do. You would need to provide details which would be submitted to our underwriters, who would then agree the terms under which they would approve the condition. For some more common conditions we can tell you instantly whether or not you would be covered. Otherwise, you can expect to hear within 24 hours (during the working week).

No. The only difference it will make is whether or not we will include cover for any claims relating to that condition. Sometimes the answer is no, and sometimes we will apply a higher excess to any claims that were connected to that condition.

You should advise us of any new medical condition or injury sustained during the course of an annual policy otherwise cover for it will automatically be excluded.

At the first opportunity, you (or someone on your behalf) should call our International Medical Group number 01494 412402. They will be able to help and advise you, and where possible deal direct with the hospital / clinic. If you need alternative flights / transport to get you home, they can help to arrange this. If the treatment is not an emergency, you should always check first to ensure that it will be covered. If you are in Europe, show your EHIC card whenever requested, and then you will not be charged the excess on your policy.
