Why events are affected

We work with all types of events and suppliers in the event industry where there is potential for financial loss if circumstances lead to cancellation or abandonment. There are several reasons why an event may be cancelled, postponed, cut short or relocated.

  • Adverse or extreme weather, which can affect both outdoor and indoor events, posing a danger to those attending or performing, or impacting the staging or setup of the event itself
  • Venue Damage: damage to or destruction of the venue at which the insured event is to take place
  • Communicable Disease outbreaks. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, cover may be restricted for these diseases if they affect named persons only
  • Death, Accident or Illness of an artist, performer or key person
  • Unavoidable Travel Delay preventing a team, artist or performer getting to an event on time
  • National mourning, court or religious mourning, whether declared or otherwise
