What does our marquee insurance cover?

Our marquee public liability insurance for one-off or multiple events provides protection against theft, accidental damage and fire damage, covering all costs to re-instate, repair or replace the marquee during the rental period.

For event organisers using their own marquee, our public liability insurance also protects you against bodily injury caused to attendees or third parties, e.g. if someone is hurt during the dismantling of the marquee. (Please note this is only applicable if the marquee has been erected following the manufacturers guidance, and people involved in its erection / dismantling have received suitable training).

We also provide the following additional cover:

• Employer’s liability - covers both paid and non-paid staff working at your marquee event.
• Event Equipment - cover you for the accidental damaging, loss of or theft of your marquee event equipment.

It's very important to select a reputable marquee hire company which carries its own public liability cover. This coverage is essential for ensuring you are protected against claims made in the event of bodily injury or property damage caused by the marquee.
