Public liability insurance

• This is an insurance policy held by the organiser of an activity.  The policy provides the organiser with some protection if a third party brings an action against the organiser or when there is a risk of damage. 
• Without such a policy the organiser would be personally liable.
• Public liability insurance is important when the organiser has indemnified the council, and a third party makes a claim against the council.

Bonds

If you are holding your event on a council venue you may need to pay a bond to cover any potential costs such as clean up or damage repair.

Note: The bond amount will depend on the area in use and the size of the event.  The bond must be paid at least  two weeks prior.
