The Multiple Event option can offer cover for up to 10 events, each can last up to 5 days as standard. If you need more days or more events, let us know and look to offer you a bespoke quote.

Event Cancellation Insurance

Attending an event can prove to be costly: travel costs, accommodation requirement, not to mention the cost of the pitch itself. It is becoming increasingly common for people to look to try to recover their costs if the event they attending was forced to cancel.

What our Event Cancellation Insurance covers:

Our standard cover provides over for your irrecoverable costs incurred as a result of the unavoidable cancellation, abandonment or postponement of your event for reasons beyond your control. This includes cancellation as a result of adverse weather conditions.

We also offer extensions to include certain circumstances which are normally not covered. Such as:

• Coverage for lost revenue following the cancellation of your event,

• Cancellation caused by terrorism or the threat of terrorism,

These options can be requested and we can look to offer a policy which includes all of or a combination of these eventualities.

What our Event Cancellation Insurance does NOT cover:

• The failure to attend an event where your booking arrangements are not confirmed in writing.

• Any situation which you are aware of, before you take out the insurance, which could be expected to or are likely to cause your event to cancel. This can include medical conditions, the current condition of the venue or the known financial troubles of a supplier.

• If interest or attendance in the event is reduced and you opt not to attend.
