Event Insurance Calculator

Our event insurance calculator estimates public liability and cancellation cover for events. Public liability is often required by venues — £1 million minimum, £5 million recommended for larger events.

Enter the total cost of the event and select the event type and date. Event cancellation insurance covers irrecoverable costs if the event cannot proceed due to specific insured causes: extreme weather, key person illness, venue cancellation, or transport strikes. The insured causes vary significantly between policies — read the list carefully and compare against the risks most relevant to your event. Premiums are typically 0.5-2% of the total event cost depending on the cause list, location, and time until the event. For events booked well in advance, taking out insurance early is advisable: some causes (foreseeable political disruption, for example) may be excluded if the event is insured after the cause becomes known. Public liability is often included in event packages but verify the level is sufficient for your expected attendance.
