Why do you need theatre & performing arts club insurance?
Running a theatre & performing arts club requires a lot of dedication. Ensuring the safety of your members and keeping the club’s finances stable are key parts of the job. Even with the best intentions, unexpected incidents can happen, often beyond your control.
Theatre & performing arts insurance provides essential protection against potential claims. With this cover, you can focus on running your club smoothly, fulfil safety responsibilities for your members and the public, and safeguard the club from significant financial risks.
Here are a few examples to demonstrate the importance of theatre & performing arts club insurance:
Cover against claims from public injury.
Theatre clubs often host events and engage with people in public spaces. In the event that a member of the public is injured or their property is damaged during a club activity, public liability insurance can provide protection against potential legal claims.
A volunteer suffers a workplace accident.
One of your volunteers gets injured while setting up for an event and requires medical leave from work. If your club doesn’t have appropriate insurance, you might face legal action and compensation claims.
Employers’ Liability Insurance covers claims related to work-related injuries or illnesses among your staff and volunteers. This not only ensures legal compliance but also demonstrates your club’s commitment to supporting and protecting those who contribute to its success.
Avoid losses from expensive equipment.
After a major event, you discover that several pieces of expensive equipment have been stolen or damaged. Replacing these items out-of-pocket would strain your club’s budget.
Equipment cover can avoid costly replacements in case your equipment is damaged or stolen.
You are forced to close temporarily.
Imagine your club’s main building suffers extensive damage due to a fire, forcing you to halt all activities and rebuild. The costs and loss of income during this period could be devastating.
Should your club have to close for a period of time having business interruption cover can protect you from the financial losses associated with this closure.

Frequently
Asked Questions
Do I need Employers’ Liability for a sports club?
As a club owner or manager, you will need employers’ liability insurance if you are employing anybody, whether they are a paid member of staff or volunteers. Employers’ liability will protect you against any claims from your employees (including volunteers) who have been injured or become seriously ill as a result of working with you. Employers’ liability can be included in any sports club insurance policy with Protectivity.
What is Professional Indemnity for sports clubs?
Professional indemnity, or sometimes known as professional liability, will protect your sports club or association for any advice, tuition or instruction which has been given by a suitably qualified member of your staff.
Do I need Public Liability Insurance for a sports club?
All our club insurance policies include public liability as standard. This means that you will be protected from any third-party claims made against you, whether that is accidental injury to another person or damage to third party property, and/or claims made by any members of the club. All individuals who take part in sport and recreation have a duty of care to ensure they do not cause personal injury, financial loss, or damage to property. If their actions do cause injury, loss or damage and “negligence” can be proved, they become liable to pay for compensation as a result of their actions.
What type of clubs do you insure?
We can insure the following clubs: running clubs, football clubs, golf clubs, dance clubs, martial arts clubs, cricket clubs, ramblers clubs and associations, tennis clubs, fishing clubs and many more. If you have any questions regarding your club just give us a call on 01494 887909 and we’ll be happy to talk through your club’s needs with you.
