What does Farmers Market Insurance cover?
There are four main sections of our policy for farmers markets, providing you cover in varying ways. Public Liability comes as standard, with each of the remaining three benefits having the option of being included on your policy to suit your needs.
Public Liability
If a visitor to your market was to be injured they could chose to blame you and take legal action. Having Public Liability in place will cover your legal costs associated with defending your even as well as any settlement made to the claimant.
Employers' Liability
From stewards to helpers who assist in setting up your event, Employers’ Liability is a must if you employ anyone, paid or voluntary. If a staff member blames you for an injury, you’re covered.
Event Equipment Cover &
Money Cover
We can provide cover for your equipment, including tables, gazebos and electrical equipment . We can also include cover for money at your event and whilst its in transit from the venue and a bank.
Optional Event Cancellation Insurance
If you are hosting an event, having appropriate cancellation cover can protect you if it becomes necessary to cancel or rearrange your event. This applies to policies bought no later than 14 days prior to the event.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is the maximum length event you can cover?
A. If you are organising a one-off event, the event can last up to 5 days in duration. If you are purchasing our annual multi-event policy, each event can last no longer than 3 days. It is 4 days under our Stallholder Insurance policy.
If you are organising more than one event in a calendar year, it may be more cost effective to take out one of our annual multi-event policies.

We may require you to provide photographic evidence and Met Office records in the event of a claim under this benefit.
