What will your craft fair insurance cover?
There are four broad sections of craft fair insurance, providing you cover in varying ways. Public Liability comes as standard, but we offer three other benefits that can be removed or altered to suit your needs.
Public Liability
With up to £10 million worth of Public Liability cover you are protected if a member of the public suffered an injury or property damage which is due to the negligence of you, the event organiser.
Employers' Liability
If you employ anyone, paid or unpaid to help out at your event, employers’ liability is a necessity. This will cover you if a staff member was injured or suffered property damage while working at the fair.
Equipment Cover
You may be using a range of different equipment, from stalls and tables to lighting and PA systems at your fair. We can provide up to £50,000 of cover against loss, damage and theft of these items.
Event Cancellation
