What does firework display insurance cover?

Insurance for fireworks and bonfire nights can cover you as an event organiser hosting a firework event or bonfire night. We can also provide cover if you are attending as a stallholder or caterer.

All our firework display insurance policies include public liability, which is designed to cover the costs associated with defending you against claims arising from the injury or fatality of a member of the public, or for the damage or loss of their property.

Cover limits differ for stallholders and caterers. Make sure you have the correct insurance for your event and be sure to check if any exclusions are relevant to what you have planned in policy documentation.

Why do you need firework & bonfire insurance?

Our firework display insurance is designed to protect those organising a city, town or village bonfire event. We aim to support event organisers with their event responsibilities offering comprehensive cover and avoiding financial setbacks that may affect the success of your event. Here are a few scenarios to help explain why you need firework display insurance:

 

Cover against claims if a member of the public gets injured.

Gatherings of people at fireworks displays brings risks of participants and members of the public getting injured. Someone may trip and fall over some  equipment, resulting in a claim against the event.

Ensure you have public liability to protect you against these incidents or damage to personal property caused by the event.

You are forced to cancel, abandon or postpone your event.

Organising an event carries the possibility of having it cancelled due to circumstances beyond your control.

Cancellation insurance could protect you against financial losses associated with non-refundable deposits, venue fees, and other expenses that may arise when events cannot proceed as planned.

An employee, temporary worker or volunteer suffers a workplace accident.

Firework event employees may be at risk of accidents or injuries during their work. If employees or volunteers are involved in your event, employers’ liability is a legal obligation with fines of £2500 per day for failing to comply.

Accidental damage to firework event equipment.

During firework displays, equipment is likely moved around and subsequently damages and losses are a regular risk.

Event equipment cover can provide protection, allowing you to replace or repair items you’ve hired, leased, loaned, or own yourself.

Our experts explain why...

“Securing one-off event insurance is crucial in safeguarding your investment and mitigating unforeseen risks. Whether organising a firework event, concert, or corporate function, unexpected incidents can jeopardise your financial well-being. Event insurance provides a safety net, covering liabilities, cancellations, or property damage, offering peace of mind and allowing you to focus on creating memorable experiences rather than worrying about potential setbacks. It’s a wise investment that ensures your special occasion remains a joyous and stress-free affair.”
