Carnival insurance

Carnivals are a lot of fun and incredibly diverse. No two carnivals are the same and have a variety of different activities & performances from fairground rides to public processions. There is something there for everyone. Now whilst you are in the preparation stage of your event – drafting up your risk assessment, choosing the right location and booking all of the acts and contractors you may want to think about adding a comprehensive insurance package in to your plans and budget.

We have insured many carnivals across the UK over the past few years. Furthermore, many clients come back to us year after year for a repeat policy. Whether you are looking to insure against potential liabilities at the event such as public/products liability or employer’s liability then look no further. We have various in-house event schemes available to cater for this kind of risk. If you have hired in a large amount of equipment with a high total valuation and think it wise to insure the items against theft and damage we could insure you under one of our event equipment schemes.

Event cancellation cover is also available to protect against any unforeseen circumstances enforcing cancellation of the event. Unforeseen circumstances can include adverse weather, power failure or non-appearance of any key persons crucial to the event going ahead. The last circumstance would be subject to a justifiable reason, such as travel delay, flight cancellation etc.

If you would like to discuss receiving a quotation from us for your Carnival please feel free to contact us. Similarly, you can submit an online enquiry to us.

Carnival float insurance

Carnival floats are a big part of a procession or Carnival parade. You may be asked by the event organiser to take out public liability insurance for the day. If that is the case, we are also able to offer cover for Carnival Floats (Please note that no cover is provided for Road Traffic Accident risks). For more information please see the Stallholder Insurance web page.

We can also provide Car Boot Insurance.
